blog #5 Is This Where We are Headed

As I watch this clip I laugh at it’s over exaggerated view of how we can live attached to our electronics. Humans are one of the best at changing and adapting to changes around us. I can diffidently understand why there are those that can believe that this could very easily be our future.

However, people are unique and unpredictable, which means some people would be content with the life in the video, but just as many would rather get out, move, interact, and artists would feel the need to create.

 What resonates with me the most would have to be the fact that there is no one who stands out everyone is the same, and in our nature some have the need to be different. Take how our children change how they dress to be different than their parents. This sign of rebellion is in us all we would not thrive without it. However, it is the statement that is being made. It states that we had lost the rebelliousness and our scociety has become stagnant.

There are a lot of people in the world who are fearful that this is where society is headed. The people who are fearful do their best to inform the public that this future is not all that fictional. This movie is designed mostly as a warning to us. It is a fictional look at a distant future but it makes the point that if we don’t pay attention to what we are doing to ourselves this could very easily become real.
