We have all seen a sci-fi or dystopian film in our lives. Whether we think of it as something that is completely improbable, or just another form of entertainment. There is more to what we have now than we may realise.

We have the technology to build a global paradise on earth, and at the same time, we have the power to end life as we know it. I am a futurist. I cannot predict the actual future - only what it can be if we manage the earth and its resources intelligently. - Jacque Fresco

 

This quote has inspired me when thinking about what our future holds for us. Especially when looking at sci-fi films in particular, we often seen many predictions of what our future could look like. When viewing these films we need to keep in mind where we are headind and what we can do to ensure our future be one of peace and happiness.

The biggest notion that has stuck in my mind over the past week studying future cultures and theories is the notion of the rise of robots and cyborgs in our society. We see it in films now and no doubt will continue to until... maybe the robots are the actors.....
