Comment about HER (Film) for HCI Lesson
Here I want to comment and review about movie I watched last week on Wednesday, 18th of June 2014, "HER". The movie is about a man (named Theodore) who fell in love with her OS, named Samantha.
I think, the story of this movie was awesome, especially in terms of technologies. We can see in the movie that we can command the computer and handphone only with our voices, and also we can communicate directly when we are playing a game with the characters, like Theodore did. But in my opinion, the most interesting technlogy is OS1. OS1 is an operating system with artificial intelligence. This OS was designed to envolve and adapt. It is a dynamic Opertaing System. When we buy the OS1, we can choose a female or male voice to fill the OS1. OS1 can do everything users say.
Theodore, who works as a writer choose a female voice for his OS1 and her name is Samantha. Samantha has a sexy voice. Actually, Theodore has a painful past. He divorced from his childhood sweetheart, Catherine. Theodore is so impressed with Samatha's ability to learn and grow psychologically. Theo and Samantha often discus about love and life. Samantha always available for Theodore, she also supports him.
Samantha wondered if she has a body like a beautiful girl and she told it to Theodore. Because of their frequent communication, finally they fall in love. I think this is so wierd. How can a man fall in love with his OS just because the OS has a female voice and always give some attentions to him? He often go to a date with Samantha. Ya, sometimes, technology makes us crazy and blind because of it. The last part of the story is when Samantha go away to continue the exploration of the existence. First, Theodore can't accept this condition but finally he can accepts it.
The lesson from this movie are: we musn't fall in love with something that made by people, like OS. We shouldn't spent all of our time just to interact and use gadget. Too much relying on gadget can make us become an anti-social person. So use the technology wisely.
That's all of my review and comment which related with HCI lesson. Take a good lesson from this film, and don't take the bad one.
