This movie has brought a lesson to us humans who are too dependent on the technology. It teaches us that there is nothing wrong with getting older. We live and we die, and that is how were brought up to learn. In reality, just like in this movie, many people hiding behind their internet persona to upper better that they are instead of meeting people face-to-face to socialize. If we are to remember, the initially intention of the creation of robots were to allow disabled people to experience things that only physically normal individual could, not to gives humans reason to leave their house just like what is being portray in this movie. Another is the development of chat rooms, where it purposely serve as a communication line to bring people together when real interaction or physical interaction is not possible, not to act as a permanent substitute for daily in person interaction. It only shows that the real purpose was lost in both cases which somehow change the way people live their lives.
