Utopia Blog Post

After rewatching the Black Mirror episode and completing the reading for the correlating article detailing the psychological impacts of the relationship between social media and our emotions, I am disturbed yet intrigued by the information read and watched. In this virtual reality In a world of fusion, technology has become a new way of life for people. People can be placed in this space to avoid death. I don’t know what will happen, but you will never know what will happen in the future. I don’t like the idea of ​​giving people a choice between life and death. In my opinion, as a person with strong Christian spiritual values, I think that trying to control natural events is doing a lot of things. All things brought about by new media and new technologies are great, but my personal view is that trying to use it to eliminate these natural phenomena is a sign of distrust and fear. This episode reminds me of the experiments we conducted in the laboratory a few weeks ago to understand the good and bad brought about by new media. This kind of utopian idea is amazing. Please don’t get me wrong. It will indeed change life, but I think it is entering a gray area of ​​good and bad. This is a difficult topic to talk about, because as a believer in the media and new technologies, what I want to say is that one day there may be such a thing as a breakthrough in the field of science and technology. On the other hand, because of my spiritual beliefs, I almost want to oppose it. Therefore, I don’t know whether they will reach this utopian extreme, but it is extremely profound to talk about and study it. From another point of view, as the article mentioned, getting likes or recognition on social media triggers the reward system and makes us feel happy, but people are so focused on making money that they feel that they are rewarded on social media. They overlooked more flattering behavior. Individual: Interact with people. I like this episode and reading because I feel that the tragedy and terrible lifestyle that arise through rating others shows the weirdness of connecting with each other through social media. Reading provides strong support and conveys the need for people to restore happiness, and social media is this method.
