QianXing’s Weekly Response #10

After watching this movie, it makes me feel very uncomfortable. The main character in the story is dating with an IOS.  I don’t really have an experience about that online, so I don’t really understand how it feels of loving someone online. In addition, it is not loving a real person, the main character fall in love with an IOS, it is a machine. Not a human being. Even though I don’t have experience involved with technology, my friends do. He has a girlfriend who is currently in China, and he lives in the U.S. Therefore, the only way they can see and communicate with each other is by using face time or social media.  I ask him about how he feels about this kind of relationship. He told me that it is really hard to keep in touch since they are in two different countries. The time zone is different, everything is different. If they don’t truly love each other, there is no way they are able to continue their relationship.

 

 

I think the above MEME represents my opinion to technology because I thought technology is supposed to make our life easier. However, based on what I have watched, it is hurting people. The technology is advanced to a point where it can do everything that a human can do, such as talking with another human, having emotions.  It can also do something that humans cannot do, such as reading a 10000 words document in a second. This is crazy. I can’t imagine that one day technology will able to do those things. It frightens me because we are supposed to control technology, but if they become super smart, can we still control them? In the movie “Her”, the IOS doesn’t seem to be controlled by the main character. Therefore, I just feel like if technology is so advanced just like what happens in the movie, it will be insane!
