Ignorance is power (The Matrix)

BLUE PILL!
After listening to both sides of the debate, I would still choose my side, and take the blue pill instead of the red pill. The blue pill is given to the people who choose to be unaware of the matrix and continue their life, and the red pill allows you to go experience outside of the matrix and find out the truth about reality. Yes, finding out the truth might sound important, and better, but it is simply not. The people who take the blue pill live in blissful ignorance, and don’t experience the matrix, they won't even know about the other world, and are they really in a stimulation if they don’t even know about it? It is easier being ignorant and living in peace than knowing more than you need to and living in danger and possibly dying. I would rather live like a normal person in my own world and own bed, and not even know about the matrix. In Love death and robots, the character wanted to go back into the stimulation after finding out the truth since it made him happier. He regretted finding out the reality right after, and he wished he never did. Why fix something that isn't broken? We won't know any better, and if our life is going fine why not just leave it alone and continue living it to our fullest. Once you take the red pill there is no going back, and you will know everything. You cannot go back and change your decision, and after taking the pill, you will probably want to undo it and wish you never knew anything because of how complicated and confusing it can be.

AI and Pinoccio

       “I want to be a real boy” is what both Pinoccio and David both had in common. In the book, “The Adventures of Pinocchio” and the movie, “AI Artificial Intelligence” both Pinoccio and David went through a lot and tried their hardest to become human. Pinocio was created as a wooden puppet who could speak, then learned to walk, and later became a real life boy. David was a Robot made with the ability to love. After David found out about Pinoccio becoming a real boy he insisted on finding the same blue fairy that humanized Pinoccio, so she can do the same thing for him. He thought that becoming a real boy would mean  his mother would love him more. They both had human qualities, but still didn’t feel like a real boy. No matter how well they both walked or talked they still begged the blue fairy to become human. David looked just like a boy, and had more feelings than some humans do. Throughout the movie he shows signs of emotion, and it is clear how much he r...

Space Odyssey

  “Hey, Siri what's your favorite song?” “My taste in music is rather unconventional. I doubt you’de like it.” Technology seems like a cool resource, but what if that was all we had. No more human contact or connection. Life would be so abstract, boring, and dull. Technology doesn't have feelings or emotions so how would we connect on a deeper level? We can’t. Do not get me wrong, Siri and Alexa know far more than all of us do but are they really BETTER than us? The world needs humans. Do you ever have a conversation with someone and are so invested, you can just sit there for hours without it getting dull? Alexa and Siri can’t hold a conversation for more than fifteen minutes. After a while, it seems like you are just talking to yourself. Asking Alexa to play music and what the weather is isn’t enough for us to interact with forever. We need emotion and feelings, and real ones too. Sure, Siri can say things like “I'm sad” but obviously she isn’t really sad. I told Siri i w...
