MORE HUMAN THAN HUMAN

f " " t'"-'-=.-*1, between the real and vi by Sherry, Wolfgang and Phillip). This is because like in

-i. --*--- the blockbuster movie convinces hundreds of millions of viewers that virtue

reality could be so real that people have no idea they are actually living in a simulation. This

should be worrying as the brain often fails to differentiate between virtual experiences and real

ough the digital stimuli as found by a recent study

ds spends eight hours per day on average outside

nce, this translates to billions of hours per week.

' This therefore, means failure to distinguish between real and virtual people will move to a point

where they are unable to differentiate between these two worlds.

I the end of the film, Jake's psychological bond with his avatar is so strong that he abandons his

ties to the human race. The fiction by avatar is supported by science and therefore the need to be

cautious of the distinction between real and virtual. As we believe that virnral, reality begins in

the mind and does not require any equipment. Another example to support of the need to be

cautious is in the 1938, where a carefully crafted radio broadcast cost millions of people to

question their ability to differentiate the real from the virtual. Orson Welles through a radio

guns, swing racquets, golf clubs and baseball bats. 3D glasses are used by movie theatres to

entice audiences who pay an extra dollar to watch blockbuster films. It is through technology that

in the natural world, where physically and disadvantaged people are often denied many

behaviors that most take for granted but in the virnral world they get to shed any stigmatization

they experienced in the physical world. Conversely, technology cannot replace the feeling of

reality as the virnral world has consequences that that the reality may fail to have. Many

scientists, writers and philosophers argue that perceptions are hallucinations and thus the

distinction between real and virnral is relative. This is so because human contrast "grounded

reality" that is believed to be "natural" world with all other "virtual reality" they experience.

Therefore, as much as technology will continue to promise unlimited possibilities reality will

continue to exist before me and it will continue to exist after me.

Looking at it on one side it is worthy but on the other side it is not. This is so because

technology will help improve the relationships between humans from different parts of the world

making the world a beautiful place to live in. A life where one never ages and where global

warming is just a myth is preferable by many people and in any case, it is not bad. However, the

consequences of this technology will cause harm to the small generation.
