Cute Creatures that have a Mind of their own

Gizmo from "Gremlins"

Teddy from A.I Artificial Intelligence

Stitch from "Lilo and Stitch"

I remember when I first seen the movie Gremlins, I remember the cute little furry alien Gizmo and how much I wanted him. He was so cute and fluffy looking. Although I was too young to remember, from what I heard everyone wanted a Gizmo, minus the little Gremlin creatures. Although there have toys that are replicas or other little furry toys that are similar, it is still not the same. Robotic toys or stuff animals are only capable of saying and doing a limited amount of things. They are only able of doing as much as they are programmed to do. This can get pretty boring after a couple of months. It still is nothing like the real thing, which is something that can think for itself and has feelings. It’s kind of like having a pet but one that can actually talk to you and looks sweet, innocent, and cute. If something like this was really invented whether it be a robot or some sort of creature, it would be neat, but at the same time scary as well. Something that was not created naturally but has emotions and can think for itself is a scary idea. Although it may be interesting, who knows what could come from this type of creation. The thought of having a little Mugwai or cute furry creatures that you can interact with about anything and everything seems fun. However, it may not always be, just like interacting with a human may not always be fun.

Selling your Soul in the Business of Entertainment

When I was browsing the internet for an artist, looking through pictures I came across a picture of that artist dead body autopsy. It was very horrific because that was something I was not planning on seeing so it was quite disturbing. It just was not like that for this particular celebrity; it was like that for many others as well who had past. Clearly these photographs were leaked from someone who had access to their bodies. The thought of taking a picture or stealing a photo of someone just so it could be leaked onto the internet is very disturbing to me. I know that it is all because of the money factor, people are given a lot of money for doing corrupt things like that. I know I could never do anything like that because I would never be able to forgive myself. Stealing pictures of a dead body just for money a person would have to remember that that was someone’s child/mother/father/brother/sister. In the entertainment business you have to learn not to sale yourself just for the purpose of getting money in your pocket. Having values and morals are always important to remember and carry within a workplace because it is easy to forget. I think that being true to yourself and not changing morals or values just for money purposes is a really important belief to have because there will always be temptations of scheming and corruptions.

Sony Apple Remote

Sony has yet to release their Apple Remotes. It is a remote control for the television but it detects motion. With just a swipe of the wrist you could change your channels, turn up and down the volume, as well as other things. The cool thing about this remote is that it actually resembles an apple. There are about four apples and it sits on top of this white plate which has a very clean look. The whole display is nice enough to sit as a display on a table. I think that this product will be successful based on its overall look. The color is a striking green and it has a nice sleek and modern look to it. It looks like a sophisticated version of toy is the best way I could describe it. It is something that would look appealing to a child as well as an adult. I would even buy one for myself because it looks pretty neat. Sony did a very good job in thinking of an overall look of this product because it would appeal to everyone. It is has a very modern and expensive look the way technology is suppose to have. It also has a bright and interesting look to it, and that is what a toy is supposed to have.

Mp3 Player and Cosmetic Device

Barbie is surely thinking ahead of other companies with their digital Mp3 that turns into a cosmetic device as well. It holds a 3GB memory and allows you to store photos. The Mp3 player opens up as a compact with a mirror at the top and it also is a necklace to attach to anything. Many companies have combined phone with an Mp3 player, but I have not really hear d of anything other than that. This digital device is very interesting because the idea of combining things together that are not similar is very cool. It is difficult to come up with an invention and have it actually be successful. For instance, using sunglasses and a digital camera all in one can be used as an idea. The idea sounds pretty cool but how exactly will this device look and feel. Will it have the sleek and stylish look that sunglasses are suppose to have? What about the overall feel of the sunglasses device? Will it be heavy or light weight? When creating something that someone is suppose to wear, all features have to come into play when designing something.

Barbie Digital Nail Salon

I had seen on the internet that Barbie has her own nail salon for girls. It is called Barbie Digital Nail Printer and it allows girls to get a manicure at home instead of going to a salon. It works by connecting to your computer, and users can choose over 1000 different designs and once selected, you stick your nails under the printer, and it prints directly over your nail bed. I think that this is a very successful idea because children, especially little girls want to do the same exact things that grownups want. As a little girl I remember I always wanted my nails painted with different colors but I was never allowed to go to the nail salon. However, this product is meant simply for young girls that are appropriate and stylish. Going to the nail salon it could cost about $15 just to get your nails painted. That is a lot of money for something that does not last. A “do it yourself” nail salon is a very creative invention for children; however it would be an even more successful one for adults. So many women line up in nail salon shops just to get a design, shape up, or fill-in. Sometimes people do not feel like waiting inside of a nail salon or get sick of all those different smells. Creating a “do it yourself” for adults that is similar to the Barbie Digital Nail Printer would be a very good idea.

Future Outlook of Availability of Movies

In the near future I heard that movies will no longer just be released in movie theaters but in our own homes as well. People will no longer have to travel to a movie theater to see a movie but watch it in the own comfort of their homes for the same price. Although it is more convenient, I do not really like this idea. I think that this takes away the essence and tradition that has been around for decades of going to theaters to see a movie. Going to the movie theaters has been known as an activity for families, friends, or couples, to come together and enjoy a day of entertainment from a new movie. It gets people out the house and brings the public together to enjoy a good movie. Being in a movie theater immerses viewers into what is playing with the surround sound and huge screen in front. Although the style of movie theaters has changed, it is still the same traditional settings. People come in pay for a ticket of their choice, purchase snacks from the concession stands, take a seat in the comfortable chairs, and stare ahead awaiting the picture on the vast screen. Movie theaters have always been a big part of the entertainment culture and it offers something that watching a movie at home does not.

Consequences of Technological Inventions

There are so many movies out that are based on the creation of technologies and the destruction it causes the world such as Eagle Eye and I Robot, but the biggest one till this day is Terminator. These films and others that are similar to this plot represent the discoveries and inventions of technology that all lead to the destruction of the world. Once, humans start tampering with technology and they create something that they could never keep contained and the technologies being created start to take over. With exciting action packed, suspenseful plots that these movies have, we can’t help but wonder if these fiction based plots could actually become a reality. Many things that are shown through movies with the creation of robots as machines to do the job that humans were once used for are actually being done today. The only thing we have not seen is the destruction that machines can cause on this Earth. However, that does not mean it could never happen. I am not saying that a scenario like Terminator could actually happen, however if we tamper with things that we really do not know much about, we may not truly consider the effects it may cause. I think that the government and scientist should watch the things they do because inventions such as time travel and robots that think and work like humans, may have consequences that we just may not be able to handle.
