The short video we watched today in class makes us think about the Frankenstein Complex because it shows the fear that we have of technology but really we are the ones that create the technology. We are the minds behind the technology we create yet we seem to fear what they will be able to do.
ReplyDeleteThe video we watched today made us think about the Frankenstien Complex because it shows that we can either be afraid of what we create or take it for what it is. It is our choice to fear it or not.
ReplyDeleteAfter watching that video, it makes you think about what if the internet eventually thought for its self. It said the internet uses us. Eventually we will have a consequence.

ReplyDeleteThe short film we watched in class showed the Frankenstein complex because it showed how technology could eventually gain a mind of its own and use us like we use it.
ReplyDeleteThe Frankenstein complex and the video have the same idea of fear because we are scared about what technology can do in the future. We fear the new technology that could possibly take over our world, such as robots. The video said we are the technology and we create it. People make new technology based inventions all the time, and soon it will be too much to handle.

ReplyDeleteAfter watching the short video today in class, it makes us either feel afraid of what we create or use what we create for what it's made for.
ReplyDeleteThe video we watched made me think about how as we learn the computer or "machine" learns with us. It's hard to tell at this point in time if that's a good thing or a bad thing. It really reminds me of epicac how as we learned it learned as well but it had consequences epicac, also learned to feel. I think the video and Frankenstein complex tie in together because it is unknown how something could turn out
ReplyDeleteAfter watching the video "us in the machine" I realized that machines have become so much more than we probably thought it would be. Computers are so advanced, and still getting more intelligent day by day. We are becoming so much closer to actually achieving what we stereotype the future to be.
ReplyDeletethe video in class was very interesting because it is telling you that you teach technology even when you are essentially learning from it. this is scary to me because its almost like the computer isn't just learning from you its learning you! this is like the Frankenstein complex because now your computer knows you and can tell what you will do next, still pretty creepy.
ReplyDeleteThe short video makes me think that even though humans are proud about the technology we create, but we some times fear the technology. In my opinion, we have a right to be afraid of new technological advances because through history technology has gotten out of control before. The frakenstein complex also kind of connects to the concept of xenophobia because humans are afraid of new things.
ReplyDeleteWe always think the technology is taking over humanity, but humans made the technology. "Us in the Machine" makes us think about how we are the machine and that the machine isn't teaching us we are teaching it. It seems as if we become the things we make.
ReplyDeleteThis video demonstrated we are Dr. Frankenstein. But the question remains should we fear our creations or ourselves?
ReplyDeleteThe short video Dr. Frankstein has the Franklin Complex in it because it showed the fear we have in the technology we make.
ReplyDeleteThe short video Dr. Frankstein has the Franklin Complex in it because it showed the fear we have in the technology we make.
ReplyDeleteThe short video showed us that the Frankenstein complex is not so much about being afraid of what we create, but about what we have the power to create in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI think the video "Us and the machine" connect with the Frankenstein Complex because of people having a fear for what they create. People have their own to choices to fear the creations of the machine or not
ReplyDeleteIn the video that we watched, relates to the Frankenstein Complex because it shows us what we taught computers and the power that the computer has.
ReplyDeleteThe video we watch connects to the Frankenstein Complex because we have to teach the machine what we want it to do before we can use it for that purpose. If the machine is not working it is probably from user error.
ReplyDeleteUs in the Machine makes you think about how different the world has become and who is responsible for these changes. This video connects with the Frankenstein Complex because in the complex, people have created things in which are better or highly different from the normality just to say it was created or to attempt and improve life. Us in the machine has to do with the creation of the internet and that humans have created it as well as become the internet and that we have almost set ourselves up for this difference which is the same thing that is being recognized in the Frankenstein Complex.
ReplyDeleteThe video shows that even though we create these machines, we can teach them to be themselves. But its not about what will happen when inventing new things, its about "will it work?"
