HON 255- Thoughts on The Matrix

Overall, The Matrix is not typically a movie I would ever watch on my own, but I am very glad I got the chance to watch it. It is definitely one of those movies that gets you thinking about the future of our world and how and when technological machinery will advance to a point that humans may regret eventually. The Matrix suggested that everyone has the chance and obligation to make a choice between what is more important to them, the real world or the artificial world. Will they allow technology (A.I.) to drive a wedge between them and their human lives? The dystopian future represented in the movie to conquer the human population while they take advantage of the bodies and use them as an energy source was so detailed. It makes me worried with the increase of technological advancements everyday in the real world that soon, our reality may be similar to The Matrix. The special effects were ahead of their time and were outstanding. The story is unsettling and complex yet intriguing, and I can appreciate that it gets viewers thinking on a deeper level.

HON 255 Love, Death, & Robots: Three Robots Reflection

I chose to write about   Love, Death, & Robots: Three Robots  in detail. This episode of volume one of the 2022 Emmy nominee sci-fi/horror tv show. Philip Gelatt, the tv show writer, worked alongside John Scalzi who wrote these original stories while Victor Maldonado and Alfredo Torres directed under Blow Studio. This episode portrays three robots entering a post-apocalyptic city for what they consider to be a vacation. They tour the city and sightsee because there are no humans, they seem to take on the role of humans by doing what humans would have done. They embody humans’ personalities and reactions to their findings. Each robot comes from a different line of electronics such as baby monitors. There is the tall human shaped robot (XBOT 4000), a smaller doll like robot, and a wider triangular bot(11-45-G) with a monotone voice like Alexa or Siri. The triangular bot takes selfies with a dead cheerleader and does a cheer with her old pompoms. The smaller bot finds a basketball or

  Time Travel Video Script   Hello we are here from the future!   We came to warn you about the future of the human race if u continue making the same  mistakes.    In the year 2088 the human race has been forced to take shelter on a space shuttle orbiting the galaxies.
