Advancement or Too Much?

What would you do if a loved one or best friend was there beside you? The only thing is, is that they actually passed away some time ago. However, they are there beside you in physical form, talking, moving, and smiling. Their actual body and self is in the room with you and seems real as ever that you question it and cannot believe it. This is exactly what happened in the TV show series Black Mirror. The character’s significant other had died, but her friend had signed her up for this experiment. While watching this, I did not know what to expect. When she was able to text him, I thought "oh, that's not too bad". I thought it would be a help for coping with deceased ones. However, as their communication advanced, I became freaked out. Not just because of what was happening, but instead the idea that this could actually happen. Our technology advances daily and scientists are performing experiments that amaze us constantly. What makes us feel no emotion towards a simple robot like R2D2, but feel weird while watching the Polar Express? It is simply the closeness to human form and qualities it brought about. I believe that whether we prepared for the type of science experiments provided in Black Mirror or not, it will sooner or later happen due to constant advancement. What would you do if this came into effect? You might say “cool, I have a person to do things for me” or “now I can get more things done”. Many people would think this. However, it is hard to think of because we do not allow our minds to even think this. As in Black Mirror, it made her happy until she realized how creepy it was and created mental and psychological issues.
