     The 1995 film  Ghost in the Shell  explores the central theme of what truly makes us human found in other works that we have covered this semester such as  A.I. Artificial Intelligence  and  Blade Runner . In fact, the character Pris shows this quality best by borrowing a line from the same philosopher Rene Descartes that created the format of this essay; “I think therefore I am.”  There are many arguments as to what element of ourselves is the quintessential quality of human life. When tying in the idea of robotic technology so advanced that the distinction between man and machine is impossible to tell, the foundation of robots as previously imagined becomes irrelevant. Asimov’s “Three Laws of Robotics” assumes a time when humans are above cybernetic technology which isn’t found in  Ghost in the Shell . Therefore, trying to balance existence for the protection and sacrifice to humans that Asimov expected for machines is impossible. As much as I would like to think any bit of huma

  Ghost in the Shell (1995) Notes Set in 2029 Wires plugged into people like the matrix Zip lining girl is half naked for the sake of thermos-optic camouflage Similarities to Westworld Robot in water facilitates creation/being awake The ghost is hacking The cops have A.I elements and aren’t fully human The guy with the uzi was hacked out of his memories Simulations The cyborgs don’t blink Feels hope in the deep water and feels like becoming someone else Similar monologue to Blade Runner by the woman Doubting her ghost Talking to a computer Inner thought communication The dialogue cuts out during the later chase scene No mind and body connection, they are separate Rips apart her body trying to open the tank The woman is changed with the puppet master’s voice/switched to a new body and he goes on a rant about merging both beings for greater good Kusanagi appears to die. She is reborn in a new child body No more use for childish ways They do merge 2501

  Star Trek Presentation Script Black Hole: One of the things that fascinated me about watching the 2009 film was the use of black holes as plot devices. Completely by surprise, the audience finds out that events from the future are driving the conflict in the present day for the younger Spock. While they cannot be artificially created like in the movie with the use of red matter, there are accuracies to black holes in the real world. First, time dilation is a real thing that occurs within black holes. Regarding Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, time can shift based on location in a gravity field. Black holes have an immense gravitational pull, so if you were to be sucked into one, moments would pass for you without aging while years have passed in the world we know. The same thing happens between Spock and Nero. This event causes an alternate reality, which I will get into on the next slide, but also breaks one of the founding rules of time travel; that is what black holes are; vesse
