Gamer



    The trailer of the movie "Gamer" is great example of technology that is really close to happening in our society. Gerard 's character is prisoner that's in game called Slayers,which he is controlled by teenager boy called Simon Silverton. In this game Gerard  has to survive 30 rounds in order to be free, but no one was ever able to win 30 rounds.The game "Slayers" is   third-person shooting game, which is really popular theses days, great example of first person shooting games are Call of duty and Gears of War. So the players are controlled thanks to device that in there brain, that was created by Ken Castle.In the movie there is also different game called " Society city" which is game that you can control other person's social life.Can can control persons body and do what ever you would like to do, such as dance,have sex, drive,dress the player,talk to other society city players,and etc. These people being controlled lose all there emotions in "Society city". Great example of game that is similar to the game Society city is the game The Sims ,which is a really popular game.
     If all that happens in the movie was about to happen in the our world , it would make are society dystopian. People lives  wouldn't have the same value, people wouldn't care if someone controlled there owned social life. Why do people want to have virtual life? Why would you get involved in game which you will kill really people? Will there be "Slayer" game in near future? If in near future there will be game just like Slayer, and you had chance to stop it, would you stop it? Will anyone be able to buy this game? Will people like games that involves really people dying? Will people let other people control  there body just for money? Will people give up on there own social lives? Each time people are making games more realistic , but there is point that they will have to stop, because if they don't life will be just like the movie Gamer.
