First Class and About Me

 I am a senior at UT and very excited to takes this class. My hometown is Syracuse NY and I am an allied health major with a minor in marketing. I have interest in the medical field. My hobbies include watching movies with friends and shopping/thrifting. I love fashion and making crafty things. I chose this class because I think science fiction is so interesting, personally I love watching movies and shows that make me feel like I am in a different place or part of the show. I also am interested in artificial intelligence and how our future can change so drastically everyday from it. I really enjoy watching movies but I do not love writing, I am more of a math and science person who enjoys learning visually. I expect to challenge my mind during this course and push myself to think in new creative ways. I do think many movies show how our future can end up and what our technology is evolving towards.

Love, Death + Robots

     My favorite short from Love, Death + Robots was Three Robots: Exit Strategies.

This short story was to send a message while adding a sense of humor. This story is a great depiction of what the future might hold as far as humans being the ultimate threat to themselves. I enjoyed this film the most because it shows how futuristic the technology could be with robots but also how terrible the future could be if humans do not start changing their ways. The robots have become smarter than humans and even mock them as their creators. The whole film these three robots walk around a post-apocalypse world and digest what they are seeing how at fault humans are.  While trying to figure out how to survive in this world the robots discover human remains of a “survivalist camp” where humans wanted civilization to collapse because ...

Metropolis

       While watching this film I could not help but notice the similarities in society during the 1920s to modern day.  During this film society was structured to have the working class live in the depths and work day and night while the upper class live in the above city with beautiful views. Although todays society is not as strictly structured this way, there is a working class and an upper class that live completely separate lives similar to this. Because of this divide I believe the working class is more heavily influenced. In the movie we saw how angelic Maria was preaching to the working class in a religious way and the people followed and listened to her. When the "bad" Maria or the robot Maria came to life and was out to destroy the city the working class listened and follow her just as easily as they did before without even questioning the motive. I believe that these people who are put in the working class living in harsh conditions need someone and ...
