My dear Blissers,
Nothing is impossible in Sci-fi movie!
And our history repeated telling us the sci-fi scenarios once unbelievable come real now or in the coming future sooner than we think!
That is the message which our beloved hostess, Angel, tries to transmit and discuss from “Ghost in the shell”!
Angel’s Introduction
With more and more technological breakthroughs occurring each day, our lives are being rapidly transformed and impacted in ways that are beyond our imagination. One day, the boundaries between humans and technology will be blurred and even disappear.
In the future, humans will be integrated with cybernetic implants that could enhance traits such as vision, strength, and intelligence. This evolution will strengthen our minds and bodies but also bring side effects. The person beside you could be a replicant or a cyborg and completely indistinguishable from a human.
This coming Sat, I will introduce you to the 2017 science fiction film “ghost in the shell” and guide you through a discussion about the physical and spiritual impacts of technology on humans. Let’s explorer the wisdom of future technology and inner life.
Are you ready to experience this amazing, incredible and profound trip to the future? Fasten your seat belts! Welcome aboard!
