Interactions with an OS

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?
