Some more videos from the MOOC course E-learning and Digital Cultures.
Now we're thinking about the humanity and what is it to be a human being. At first two videos the problem of virtuality and it's connection with reality is shown.
1. TOYOTA GT86: 'The Real Deal' TV Advert
2. World Builder
We see here two ways of representing the virtuality. The first one is obviously dystopic. It's a gloomy, limited digital world devoid of true colors and genuine feelings. Just man's will can break this dome, like John Truman did. It's pretty impressing seeing, and we see all advantages of the true real life.
But thinking about education we may change the attitude to the virtuality. The real life may be different and often not so welcomed.. But modern technologies now allow everyone to get education through the web. And not so bad education thankfully to the MOOC. That is what e-learning is.
Virtuality shown in the second video is utopic one. The builder demonstrates his amazing skill in building a fragment of virtual reality. He does a great job restoring the model of the real world down to the smallest details. Everything is for his sick wife who is in coma. We discussed all this in the forum and I guessed that she sees everything in her dream (like a lucid dream).
As for me, I think this clip shows good example of interrelation between humanity and technologies. Ultimately medicine is the very field where human life definitely depends on technologies.
