Surrogates

Just returned from watching Surrogates with Ivan. Quite enjoyed it. In short, it is about humans living their lives through their robots (aka surrogates) controlled by their minds while they are connected to a device in the comforts of their own home. They can even choose how their surrogates look like. So the streets, offices and practically everywhere else other than homes are basically just filled with robots. And the surrogate can look worlds apart from the controller. In most cases it was actually so. In fact most of the people have never seen each other's "real person".
For the rest of the story I will leave you to watch it on your own. The reason I gave the short intro was because of its relation to real life, or at least to my life. I can see why people in the movie would rather live their lives through robots. The robots can look as good as they want to and others will never have to or get to see their "true" self. I think I am somewhat like that as well. When coming in contact with people, I sometimes protray a personality or character that is not really me but what I would like people to see me as. Even with all the face treatments and soon to come laser treatments, I am trying to become what I would like people to see me as and not what I am really. In the event that surrogates become a reality I know that I would definitely choose one which is better looking and hunkier. Haha, it certainly beats having to go to the gym to get that kind of body. :)
