Today we watched a short video in class that pertained to humans being able to live forever. To obtain this luxury, you would have to get your brain cells scanned into a computer system then live through something similar to a television monitor.To live forever sounds like something you just can't pass up but when actually given the opportunity,would it be as enjoyable as one would think? Humans aren't immortal for a reason and when scientist begin to "play God" terrible consequences seem to follow suit. Things like over population and sacredness of natural and unnatural resources will occur, which then becomes extremely unfair to those living a natural life. Then what happens if there is a glitch in the system controlling the lives of millions of people (which occurs in the video), do they all just die? And these are just two of many factors that can occur. So in my opinion, I say living forever won't be be a luxury but instead a curse and that one should live there best "natural"life so they would be content enough to not want to live a million more.
History: What a lot of people don't know is that the original Keyboard Cat video was actually made in 1984 as a funny home video then later became a YouTube and internet sensation when the video was uploaded to YouTube in 2007. The baggy blue T-shirt wearing feline's name was "Fastso" but Schmidt later changed the title to "Charlie Schmidt's Keyboard Cat". My thoughts: This video was very creative and the first of its kind with many to follow after. Defiantly one of the more know viral videos that is still used today in sitcoms and televisions shows.
