Ready Player One notes

 I really enjoyed the movie, my group decided to use Minecraft to interview a stranger. I asked the stranger what he wears in the game vs what he wear in real life. He said we wears armor in the game and shorts and a t shirt in real life. I thought it was important to ask him what he wears because in Ready Player one, Wyatt wore nice clothes and wore things based on how he wanted to appear to other in the game even if he could not wear these clothes in real life. 

    The second question I asked was what his hobbies/job was in the game vs real life. He said that his character in the game builds houses and breeds villagers but in real life he works in a car dealership. This is very different and it depends on the game but clearly he does this as a hobby in the game but would not necessarily chose to do it in real life. 

    This relates to my health science major because I believe video games like this are a source of relaxation and people go on them to relieve anxiety. Doctors may chose to play video games after there shifts as a chance to reconnect socially with friends through the game and be able to unwind and do something they enjoy after a long day.

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 film was produced by Blow Studio based in Spain, sci-fi writer John Scalzi created both the original and the sequel of “Three Robots”. 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 they wanted freedom

The Matrix notes
