Going back to a point I brought up in class this week…
In Her, Theo falls
in love with an OS and Amy becomes best friends with one. I am curious as to
whether men and women differ in how they become connected to technology.
Finding an answer to this curiosity would be immensely difficult, for so many
people would have to be observed. And on top of that, technology such as the OS
doesn’t exist quite yet. The movie provides us with some instances we could use
to make assumptions; even though Amy is going through a divorce just as Theo
is, she finds friendship in her OS rather than love interest. Would this be the
case with most males and females?
I have not particularly observed many people as they
interact with technology. I feel that this is the case because the advancements
in technology are so second hand to our generation that we don’t even notice
what a prevalent part of our lives it is.
How do you guys feel about gender connections with
technology? Not just how males or females would react with an OS, but with the
technology currently present as well?
Excellent topic! I hope we keep talking about this. I think there are some differences!
