Thoughts on future
If we get to a point in the future where someone develops an AI children for Pedophile porn how will people react? And If we don't get to go to Mars or if only the 0.1% of the populations get that chance to go, the others who stay will live underground? Something like those prisons in the movie 12 monkeys? These are some of the thoughts I had in mind after last Tuesday's class.
I just get really upset that my idea of how the future will look like is so dark. Has my life in South Korea contributed to that somehow? After all, my life in Seoul is considerably more futuristic than my quiet life in Lisbon. In Seoul I use a lot more technology yet I feel more lonely. The city is so big that it becomes hard to meet close friends. Here is my big hope for the future: travel won't be necessary. At least long hours inside airplanes.
Somewhere someday I can live in two or three cities at the same time. Nigh out in Seoul and breakfast in LA. I could then afford a small house in a small city somewhere but still have access to everything. I remember once in Marrakesh I was at the rooftop of the hostel with a tourist from the UK and a Moroccan guy that worked there talking about places we wanted to go, places we liked. The Moroccan guy said that his favorite city in the world was Madrid. He described some neighbourhoods and how pretty the houses were. It turns out that guy had never left Morocco, but instead he saw the city through Google Maps. How sad I though back then. But so many people that actually go to places end up not leaving the hotels, so it's hard to say that he didn't travel to Madrid, it felt like he did travel there and saw great things.
Even security won't be a problem since we are and we will be traceable anywhere we go.
Remember that chatroom game called Habbo Hotel? Like in Habbo Hotel we had to chose from all the rooms - night club or a library, a restaurant or a pool. Maybe we can then chose a city and feel like we are there, travel around, take pictures and meet people. Life inside a reality Habbo Hotel.

seoul 2085
I come from the middle of nowhere. During my childhood my neighbour and I used to dig holes on the dirt to make garages for our miniature cars, the ants were the population of our city.
When I was on the 9th grade my English teacher told me I should go to Arts. I was drawing all the time but I also liked history very much so I thought to study history of arts or maybe architecture (that's what I told to my father).
I ended up doing Graphic Design and Multimedia for my Bachelor's. I actually don't know very well why but it felt the right choice. Perhaps that's what really I liked to do, but when I met my colleagues and teachers I realized that I was at the right place.
Everyone liked a bit everything: movies, books, astronomy, physics, computers, biology.
We could also work with all those things. I did once a recipe book project for astronauts.
