Ghost in the Shell "Three Laws of Robtics"

 Exploring the "Three Laws of Robotics" within Ghost in the Shell was a lot more complicated than expected. The aspects of being half human and half robotic rally blur the lines of where one falls within the laws. I believe Kusanagi really showed that being a cyborg does not take away from your human side. I really enjoyed writing the essay in a cartesian manner. It really allowed me to thoroughly explore both sides of the argument. I don't think one could have reached a true conclusion unless you did it in a cartesian manner. Ghost in the Shell really allowed one to see where the future of robotics can go and what questions will arise with it. I believe when we do get to time like that it will once again show a split in the social classes. This will create questions towards the "Three Laws of Robotics" and towards the fairness of cyborgs. I think Ghost in the Shell just graces the pot of questions toward cyborgs and other artificial intelligence.

Love, Death, and Robots

The Love, Death, + Robots episode I liked the most was Zima Blue . The reason I liked this episode so much was because of the symbolism of simplicity. Zima's murals start out as these complex art works of space. He then adds a blue square in the center of the art. This simple square is surrounded by complex space but the square is the one thing which stands out most to the people. As Zima gets more famous and starts to explore the cosmos his art becomes more and more of the simple blue square. He allows the simplicity of the color "Zima Blue" to take over his art. In the end Zima is a complex robot who has explored all the universe has to offer. After becoming the most complex organism, Zima decided to go back to his most simple form for his final piece of art. He has learned the simplicity of life is much more valuable than the most complex form. Instead of being a robot that is basically indestructible and can do all sorts of things, Zima decided to become a simple rob

Hon 255 Final Thoughts

 I have really enjoyed this class. It really pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me think about all different sorts of things. I got to see the perspective of all different types of majors and personalities which to me is the most important thing when learning. Being able to compare my major to topics that had nothing to do with my major taught me so many different things. I was able to see how my major impacted different aspects of life and how movies impacted my major. Approaching the topic of AI and futuristic technology was difficult at times but always interesting. I'm excited to see how I use this class in the future and to see where our future technology actually goes after watching all these movies.

Final Project

 The movie we chose for our final project was WALL-E. As a group we want to explore the possibilities of the plot of WALL-E becoming our future. With the way climate change and garbage is piling up our future could very easily be the same plot. There are also a lot more advancements in artificial intelligence that could lead to more lazy humans and more reliability on AI. We wanted to add a 3D aspect to our poster to make it stick out. We also added the plant surrounded by garbage to show how there is still hope for our future. Just like in the movie, finding the plant brings hope to the humans that they will be able to live on earth once again. WALL-E really shows how even if we have a good life in space, nothing can beat walking around on earth and breathing fresh air.
