50 Years from today
The movie Minority Report is set in the future, it is about being able to predict murders before they happen. They are predicted by people called pre-cogs. 50 years from now I predict the whole world will be run by technology, humans will not have to do anything for themselves. Cars will drive themselves, there will be robots to clean your house, and there will be ovens that can cook food perfectly in a minute or less. Minority report shows how technology could benefit, but also endanger society in the future.
In Minority report some technological advances are the videos are in 3D, The cars drive themselves which is much safer because then there will be no accidents, and to determine somebody's identity they have eye scanners, and you cannot go anywhere without having your eyes scanned. They also have pre-cogs who can predict murders before they happen. This is good because they can keep people from being killed, but this is bad because technically they are arresting innocent people because the murder has not been committed yet, and sometimes the pre-cogs predict different futures, this is called a minority report.
In 50 years the whole world will be taken over by technology. Some new inventions will be interactive tv shows, holographic cell phones, and cars that drive themselves. I think
John Anderton is depressed and takes drugs to cope with it. He is depressed because his son was stolen from him, and him and his wife got in a divorce because of it. The new technology also gets in the way of John getting over his son being abducted because he watches 3D videos of his son so it looks like his son is in the room. The happiness level is also very low in the rest of the city, everyone is constantly in fear of pre-crime, people are even getting their eyeballs removed to keep from getting caught, or being identified. The new technology has completely taken over society and life in the

    The adult John comes to civilized society as an experiment by Marx and Mond to see how a "savage" would adapt to civilization. Frankly, he does not adapt very well. He is appalled by the lifestyle and ideas of civilized people, and gets himself into a lot of trouble by denouncing civilization. He loves Lenina very much, but gets very upset at her when she wants to have sex with him. He physically attacks her, and from that point on does not want to have anything to do with her. When his mother dies, he interferes with the "death conditioning" of children by being sad. Finally, his frustrations with the civilized world become too much for him and he decides to take action. He tries to be a sort of a Messiah to a group of Deltas, trying to free them from the effect of soma. He tells them only the truth, but it is not the truth that the Deltas have been conditioned to believe, so to them it is a violent lie and they begin to cause a riot. When the riot is subdued, John is apprehended and taken to have a talk with Mustapha Mond.

  • The Doomsday Machine, by John Markoff

    887 Words  | 2 Pages

    John Markoff's "The Doomsday Machine" is an intriguing view on how our technology may exponentially improve into the future, but the essay fails to support the thesis statement that our technology will eventually destroy the human race. His dire predictions for our future are based on theories as well as conclusions that are themselves based on theories. These predictions do not account for how other simultaneous technological advancements and the desire for profit will affect our world. It ignores the power of human imagination, ingenuity, feelings, and personal motivation. There is also a complete disregard for God's plan.

    Technology does seem to move too fast and maybe we should mourn what we are leaving behind. But then again, people that like to reminisce about the past can also be left behind like it. Sometimes, it is important to stop living in the past and better your future. The articles “ How Computers Change the Way We Think” and “ Electronic Intimacy” both made amazing arguments, but like I said, it all depends on how technology is used. Technology does seem to have the power to push us further or closer to each other, but at the end of the day, it is just another tool

    The shower of bullets leave white grooved funnels in the air, as the hero in slow motion leans back to avoid the deadly aims of the gunmen—all the while his black trench-coat billows underneath him. The saddened husband in heaven spans the chasm of hell to be reincarnated with his soul-mate wife. The young business executive places the pistol in his mouth, his blood-shot eyes rolling upwards as beads of sweat trickle down his grimy face. Moments later, after the bullet has been released into his head he turns to see that his nemesis, his alter-ego, is now dead on the concrete. Sound unbelievable? Perhaps, but when realized as scenes from famous movies such as The Matrix, When Dreams May Come, and Fight Club, they seem not quite so unreachable as before.

  • The Future in Cyberpunk

    1212 Words  | 3 Pages

    The defining characteristics of the cyberpunk genre have been debated since the beginnings of the literary movement. Some authors, classified as cyberpunk, question the very existence of this label, while others are in constant disagreement about the traits that make up the literature. Authors such as Bruce Sterling believe that cyberpunk is the integration of technology and literature in a world where the gap between science fiction and reality is rapidly closing; however, others such as Lewis Shiner have formed the opinion that this literature is merely a product of pop culture, hence it should not have any true literary importance. Furthermore, cyberpunk is said to be the voice of the underground in modern society, and the vision of a new technological world. These theories represent the different views of the major authors in this genre, thus it becomes difficult to define a literary style from such opposing views. A more constructive method is to analyze the major characteristics and styles used in the stories considered as cyberpunk. The negative portrayal of the integration of technology and society is a fundamental tenet of the literature, because it presents a pessimistic vision of scientific advancement. The genre's dark tones, seen in the styles of it's major authors, emphasize the bleak images throughout the futuristic fiction. The constant conflict between the individual and a technologically advanced society is a major theme of the genre, for it stresses man's insignificance. These characteristics are interwoven into the fabric of cyberpunk and form a bleak image of science fiction and the future.
