Just wrapped up my flipbook project. Wow, that took a long time. I am proud that it is complete though! During this past class we watched clips from various films showing how the fourth wall was and is being broken down. The fourth wall is the audience’s security net, it separates reality from entertainment. However, it is scary and exciting to think about what would happen if we could no longer distinguish between what is real and what is merely on the screen. Also scarier to think what are the implications if one day we are able to create robots almost identical to humans, and if there will ever be a scientific breakthrough to create emotional feelings. Could consciousness and emotions be programmed somehow into robots so they experience the world similar in functioning to our brains? What would this mean for humans, how would we interact with technology then? Would robots have rights or would they just be property and machinery? Some of these questions have been posed in some of the film clips we watched such as Blade Runner and Artificial Intelligence. Personally, this class raised the most questions. I really enjoyed it.
