I don’t think it’ll be good to further enhance 3D animation or movies or pop stars. We are slowly losing the ability to focus and losing our grip on reality. No to be a hippy and all, but it’s time to snap back to reality. I know that it might be fun to live in a “video game like” world
Soooooo…. Is Google really making us stupid?
I believe that it is a matter of perspective. If you can learn something from google and teach it to others, then I believe that it is making You smarter. And that was exactly what I did.
Google is something that humans came up with to make our lives easier. yes, it makes us all the more lazier and what not. but at else now we don’t have to waste the time going to a library and research the information or answer or solutions ourselves. We all have a new friend in common, and it’s name is Google.
What I’ve learnt is that Google is, in itself, a way for one person to communicate with another. No matter the distance or time, space or sea. After all, Google is created by humans. Information found on its search engine is placed there by humans at one point or the other. So in some terms, treat Google as a multi functional platform, allowing us to share music, videos, thoughts, ideas and solutions to make the lives of someone else all that much easier and simpler.
We love google, but does it love us in return? maybe someday, google will be smarter than all of us and take over. when that day comes, will we be loved? hmmmm
Food for thought.

Minority Report
Few interesting things to take note of when watching the minority report 2002.
The advertisements within the movie flashes everywhere, in the suburban areas, in towns, on walls, underground tunnel passages and in malls, basically wherever there’s a big open surface area. Most subtlely, an advertisement found in a packet of oat meal cereals that sang the company’s advertisement song.
Within the movies, computer screens are transparent allowing motions to be more fluent and allowing information to be passed on clear plastic. Images can also be flashed into 3D but are still recorded by camera and relived again and again. Images and data from the computer screen can be moved around with fingertips that are either covered in electronic glove-like devices or use plain fingertips. Faces can be altered
Memories can be stored from the brain itself to the plastic. The human eyes becomes unique and a form of identification. It also stores imagery and memory. Surgery on the eyes has become easier and the replacement of them are easy. Future events can be recorded and erased without changing large parts of history.
Drugs in the shape of red spheres can be inhaled through asthma relieve like devices.
Transportation is by cars that move automatically. Hover craft helicopters that travel at high speeds. Cars don’t fly but travel in all directions on horizontal and vertical roads. Personal jetpacks.
Plant life has grown immensely, attacking living things and actively defeating themselves
Sonic boom guns that causes minimum damage but knocks victims away.
Factory work is entirely mechanised
Not everyone is surrounded by the technology. Average families as seen in the video live similarly as we do today.
I do not believe that the future can be altered without subsequent consequences. The fact that memories can be revisited over time is a neat trick, but some memories should be forgotten. The movie’s protagonist is obsessed over his son’s death partially due to the memories that are constantly flashed. He need drugs to help him calm down due to that as well.
The precogs are treated in a inhumane way. They are not allowed to do as they pleased and are confined in a “temple”. Yet they believe that the “temple” is their home and is the right place to be no matter if they are happy or not. Maybe it’s because they believe that they are doing it for a greater good. The precogs dream about future murders over and over again.
The humans that are accused of future murder are treated unfairly as well. They will never receive a fair trial for something that they were thought to have done but did not do. They are neither dead or alive, but live their experience of the murder over and over again. Precrime never went international because of this, and also because of the fact that they were not 100% foolproof, human errors.
The fact that the human brain can be downloaded, uploaded and erase makes us more like cyborgs.
