The topic that I think relates to the film Sleep Dealer is Technology and Society.  The reason is because technology is taking over society. For someone to be able to connect with society around the world they need some type of technology. The picture is pretty much showing us that society is in our hands. We don’t need machine to connect with others. Having the technology advancing so much it shows us that we could get control of society with our hands without needing machinery around. In the film, it tells shows us that for us to be able to have a good connection with society with need to upgrade. Human Beings need to wire themselves up to be able to succeed, have wealth, and achieve your goals that you have in mind. Instead of working outside in the field as a garderner; we would connect ourselves with the wire connections and work from the same spot and location without needing to move around. We would view everything through this glass wears that we put on and we become robots. We do end up doing the same work as we would be doing in ground but now is through the robots. Instead of typing and using a mouse to move around the screen of a computer; we would then speak and touch in the air the image we choose to pick.

Technology is constantly growing so much every day, that it becomes hard to believe everything that goes on.  People would need to stay up to date just to be able to keep in touch with friends and family around the world.

Two examples I could use is Facebook and having an email account. First of all, many people connect with Facebook to be able to connect with others and keep in touch with others around the world. They use Facebook to be able to share their images and be able to IM each other directly. Second thing, many people use emailing. The reason is because through email you are able to send a personal message or picture to the next person. You are able to get to them when you have a free time. You could say; instead of sending a letter through the mail box you send it to their inbox. Emailing you could say is much faster and safer to use.

In the passage “Let Them Eat Fat”, by the Harper’s Magazines talks about how the amount of calories have doubled in our daily living because of fast-food.

I do believe that the fast-food do grab attention for customers. First of all, fast-food restaurants don’t let our younger society live as long as our parents or elders around us. Secondly, fast-food restaurants cause many people to have unhealthy health condition.

Many fast-food locations do grab customer attentions. They might post a sign saying when purchasing a super-size you get free refills. In the passage, it gives an example of McDonalds. When buying super-size meals in McDonalds it automatic doubles our calories. Many of the customers might not realize that eating such a big meal could cause us to have an unhealthy health to our system. There are many reasons why many customers enter a fast-food restaurant. First reason, could be because is cheaper. Secondly, it could be a quicker way to grab something to take on the go. Thirdly, it might be the only thing closer around the way.  By many of us being so distracted by these restaurants, we don’t realize how our health condition is turning out. In addition, we could also be gaining more weight. A lot of us having a busy daily schedule don’t realize what we consume in. We are decreasing our protein but we are increasing our fat and carbohydrates. Fast-food is everywhere but they are now growing more in poor inner-city communities. They know that by increasing in those areas, more people will attend. The main reason is because it is at a good price for them and it is mostly located right there as soon as customers get off work. In our daily living we have customers increasing tremendously in their weight. Many teenager boys and girls drop by half their healthy nutrition and gain more fat rich.

Fast-food companies increase their super-size by adding offers to the customers. At the same time, the companies are not realizing that other people’s health is worsening. All this process that goes on could increase business and money for the companies but they do not notice that it decreases our healthy nutrients we could be consuming. Teenage kids are young and taking in so much calories, that at a certain age their health is going to get worse, gain weight, get a decease or many other things.  

We need to manage more what we eat. If we are following up with a specialist, then we need to listen to what the nutritionist and dietitians tell us. The reason is if we want to live a long time.

 In the film “Meatrix” talks about how the factory really creates the food we eat.  The factory is the one that creates our eggs, milk and meat that we eat in our day living, but the factory also causes us unhealthy situations to our living. Should factories keep maximizing their industry more or should the farms take over the agriculture industry again?

The factories might not notice that but as more time passes more of us human being are getting unhealthier. I do agree with what the film mentions, that many of us do not know where our food comes from.  It causes us to gain diseases and germs.  As soon as the factories started to minimize the farming spacing, the animals were becoming unhealthier.  First of all, many animals that are being kept in the factories do not see the light, touch the ground and they do not get to breath the fresh air no more. Secondly, the factories when feeding the animals include antibiotic in their nutrient. The reason for the antibiotic is so that the animals could maintain their weight and like they say to stay healthy.  One thing that the factories do not realize is that over feeding the animals with antibiotic is not making them healthier, is actually creating and spreading more germs. When the animals have to move their bowels, it is actually polluting the air and ground water. That is because they are not getting well fed, not well treated and the animals are maintaining their weight by taking in antibiotic with their nutrients.

I do believe that the farms should take over the agriculture industry, rather than the factories. My reason is because less harmful food and diseases will be delivered to society.  Secondly, less artificial food would be consumed.  Farms, I believe would feed the animals healthier. They would treat the animals well.      ………….. IM NOT DONE

One thing that the movie Meatrix has similar to the Matrix is that they both are telling you to choose one out of two pills. You either choose the red pill or the blue pill. Both movies also let us know that we do not know about the real world.
