Now Oculus is selling hot, and people have already experienced the way of playing games and watching 3D movies at home with virtual reality goggles. This does not rule out the possibility that people are dissatisfied with the bulkiness of goggles and produce VR contact lenses in recent years. Just like the high-tech contact lenses shown in the trailer of The Feed, I think this technology will be facing the public in the near future. I have done some research and found that there have been many developments in the technical research of contact lenses. https://www.lenstore.co.uk/eyecare/5-high-tech-contact-lenses-could-change-world
Regarding the technology and reality described in the black mirror, I think it might be an invasion of personal privacy. Imagine that one day everyone can freely evaluate others and express their own opinions, which is a terrible thing. There is no equality between people in the world. And everyone can control the ratings of others, seemingly fair but losing true fairness. But I support the idea of Altered Carbon’s memory chip. If this technology can be applied to scientific research, I think it will be very good. For example, implanting memory chips for patients with Alzheimer’s disease can help them recover their memories. But it would be very bad if it was used to snoop into the memory of others illegally. We always see people using technology to satisfy their desires in various science and technology films. Nowadays, the development of science and technology is getting faster by day. I hope high technology can make the world more peaceful, not worse.
The future high-tech that appears in movies always makes us feel incredible, but these high-techs are not groundless. If you search on Google for these technologies that you think are impossible to realize, you will find that many of them are already under study. This shows that with the rapid development of science and technology, it is difficult for us to predict what life will be like in the next decade. My expectation for future technology lies in the development and application of technology in medicine. It is hoped that future technology can reduce human suffering and increase the happiness of families without affecting personal privacy. I believe this is also what everyone is looking forward to.
Thank you for providing the link! It’s really interesting to point out how VR contact lenses will be facing the public in the near future.
I strongly agree with your term about the activity that people illegally stole information under a high-tech society. It happened before, now, and won’t stop in the future, so it’s important to keep an eye on the improvement of the technology.
