I watched the sci-fi movie titled “Her”. Not only was this movie very eye-opening but it also made me a bit excited for the future, if it is anything like in the movie.

The vision of the future that it presented was heavily involved with technology. And as many people are very vocal about being against how involved in technology as a society now, I am totally not against technology becoming more involved in our daily lives. It was evident from watching the movie that technology that is a theme in the technology of today, that it is convenient. The future that is portrayed in this film makes it seem like the technology used makes everyone’s lives easier and therefore becomes convenient. In terms of the job the main character had, that job would have been a significant amount more difficult if he had to hand-write the letters. But with the speech to text technology it made everyone’s job easier.

However, there was a negative that was portrayed in the film about the future. And that is that we become less social animals because of technology. Even though the technologies provided gave the characters in the movie a way to communicate, it also decreased their social interactions with human beings.

It made me think differently about the present society because I can see how involving more technology into our daily lives can turn into something completely negative. But on the other hand I can see how it is portrayed in the movie, how everyone gets along just fine with the amount of technology in their lives and it even makes their lives easier.
