virtual friends?

 
this is a video showing one of the first step we(human) made to have a perfect friends. human are incapable of being there for someone every time and anytime. we have needs, problem, job and etc. this robot are programs to make the us loves and importance. but what happen when we start to trust him(machine) we start to take him to consideration of every discussion we going to make. we cant deny that all our decision we make have been influence by our feeling our emotion. in the other hand machine decision been make through a complex equation based on logic and it's program. which been control by the person that design it. in the end we all going to be a product of control equation based on one personality. which make us eventually a robots.

Respond to charlie’s “travelling without moving”, yes we really almost can do everything in front of the computer screen now. In Johny Depp’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, people able to teleport things through tv, dissolved – transport – resembled. Do you think it will happened? When the time coming, people will not only embark the “journey” on a virtual level anymoreand then only that time government should really be worry isn’t it?

And then about the “second life”, there’s another movie talking about it which I watched it very long time ago(maybe when I was in primary time?), people in the future can sort of inject their soul into internet and wherever the internet can reach, they can access to. All people digitalise their soul and life into the digital world to persuit everlasting life? But in “Matrix”, the government is the main power to control everything and then the whole world living in the ‘not-really-exist’ world. There got no everlasting long life, but human spend whole life time in dream... 'digital restrict' and 'internet control the masse' mentioned by charlie, are those actually the foreseen that we all heading to it?

to lee, yes i think it would be a great idea if we all can watch together. (=

and so sorry that i was sick these few days so that now only got to read the blog.

Mobility of information...

The mobility of infomation

In response to Loongs blog:-

The American dream was to be prosperous; it was the land of opportunities. I don’t think it was necessarily to become famous. The social mobility of moving though the class system is an interesting approach on social mobility. In this current economic climate I guess many of the higher classes may be affected. However the eventually the poorer will become poorer.

Lee the idea of territories is an exciting idea. It may be something we should all look into?? We should try to differentiate between different territories and how they affect movement relating not only to physical, virtual, social and political.

I have created a video for as an individual response to the task at hand. My initial interest was in how the Internet is affecting our society. I wanted my video to portray a place where we are bombarded with information. It is a place where we can do everything from/in. Experience the world… This is reducing our need to actually be physically mobile.. Now there is no need to go to the shops we have tescos online shopping or even go to the library we have wikkipedia…

It’s a “parallel universe” It’s travelling without moving?!

I went on to think about what is the consequence of our growing dependence on the Internet? I went to a great lecture about the future of Digbeth a few days ago. One council representative shared the plan of making Digbeth a “digital district” It seems that our governments priority is connecting people.

Apart from the obvious benefits of the Internet, it does enable a potential invasion of privacy… Governments, the police, the general public even “big brother” are watching you!! The internet allows for the masses to be monitored Before this nihilistic society, religion was used to control the masses.. now is it the internet??

Traveling without moving

In response to Lees video. I like the contrast between the sound and the visual. It creates an something unusual. The progression from the birdsong to the electronic sounds suggests progression or movement through time?? Development...

The idea about our temporal western society needs to have a destination. I agree with this. I believe whether its a secular society or not we as humans need to have purpose, to get somewhere, or to achieve something.. If we didn't life does become nihilistic and meaningless...

Talking about the anticipation of a journey...

Each in intersecting "mobility" presupposes a "system". These systems make possible movement: they provide "spaces of anticipation" that the journey can be made, that the message will get through, that the parcel will arrive.- john urry mobility

My initial blog was addressing the issue of the internet and how we interact with it now. "We are what we share..." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiP79vYsfbo

In a previous blog I spoke about the internet and how we control it. Governments are scared..The internet is an amazing tool to communicate, to share ideas to start a revolution.. It gives us all the ability to promote our ideologies.

We are all very dependent on it. It is a space that WE can all go to.. However it is strange because it doesn't actually exist...??

How far will our technology go?

I believe the internet is threatening life as we know it.

Will we all eventually be content with sitting in front of a computer screen? or being engaged or connected somehow??

We can do almost everything from the computer screen.... Will we become so content that eventually we will only embark on our "journey" on a virtual level, in this parallel universe?? Has everyone heard of second life

We could live and experience in this virtual world.

You could say we would be traveling without moving?? ?
