Virtual reality will lead the future


I can write a summary of the video "Virtual reality will lead the world"


Willen - Paul Brinkman talks in this video about the virtual reality. Actually he explains a little abour his favorite topic, the fear. In a study we can see that almost the 20% of people has a fear desorder during the lifetime and that try to avoid the situation when they have to confront these situations.
He also talks about the relation of some parts of the brain and the feelings. How the brain can control our emotions against our fears.
Therapists use virtual reality to help their patients confront their fears.
This virtual reality program acts as exactly as you in a fear situation, such as fear of flying or fear of heights.
Sometimes people prefer virtual reality. This method is one of the best to fight the special fears people have.

This video is excellent and the message is really important. No matter our fears we can confront all of these with the virtual reality. It doesn't mean that we all will live in a virtual world, but it can encourage us to fight and defeat our fears. The therapy sounds so interesting and I hope some they we can have it here to study about it and build "Virtual reality therapy" centers to help people with problems they can't control anymore.

The body architect


I can write a summary of the video "How can technology transform the human body?"

Lucy Mcrae calls herself "the body architect". She loves the human body and always explores how to transform it. She also worked with Phillips electronics for a while. 
She create the idea of having a electronic tatto too.
She always works with friends and roomates in an apartment that is transformed in a really good and confortable work area.
She is also fascinated with the idea of how technology can be connected with our emotions and how technology and biology are connected too.
She created a swallowable parfum that is a cosmetic pill that you eat and the fragance cames out through the skin surface when you transpire. The idea of that swallowable pill is to have our own fragance without wasting a lot of money.
At the end of the video she talks about herself and said that she is always improving and always come out with new ideas to do.

This video is full of inovated ideas and Lucy Mcrae does a very exciting and good job with all of the rare things that catches our attention. I believe that at first she had to fight a dream with all of these things because are not nomal and maybe people wouldn't let their hand to help her doing all of the research. Now she can say that all of the effort facilitated all she wanted to do. Now she is a wolrdwide known person who works with technology and the human body to create a lot of exciting human scultures. 



I listen to color



I can write a summary of the video "I listen to color"

This video is about a man called Neil Harbisson who has a rare visual condition called achromatopsy that is a total color blindness. He sees all in gray, however he can hear colors.
He has an "electronic eye" which is a device that permit him to differenciate colors by listening the frequencies they emit.
He has been hearing colors for 8 years to memorize all of them. Niel said he started to feel like a cyborg when he dreamed with colors realizing that the divice and his brain were united. He also appears with the electronic eye in his passport because it is a part of him.
He prefers to dress in a way that sound good and not in a looks good way. He also prefers to eat his "favorite songs".
He started to paint what he heard like songs and speaches.
At the end of the video Niel encourage us to extend our senses and to being cyborgs like him.

I believe he made a difference. There are a lot of people who suffers but don´t do anything, he did it. It might be difficult to memorize all the frequencies and colors but he teach us to fight of what we want and what we believe. For instance, I think he had to do a lot of things to appear with the device in the british passport. And also we can having a good time by eating our favorite songs, just like he said. It is a great story and he is a great man. I don't like the idea of being a cyborg, but i love the idea of extend our senses.
