The one example I chose is the movie Inception. The technology depicted in this movie was the idea of entering a human body through dream invasion and implanting ideas in people's minds. The main character, Dom Cobb, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, would steal people's most close secrets for many investors across the world. He then had to complete his biggest mission thus far by implanting an idea in one of his competitors mind to destroy his company. I believe that this is possible. When it comes to science and technology, ANYTHING is possible. The way how they showed how they get into people's subconscious it in the movie was not dumbed down at all. The audience was attracted at the fact that it was happening, the idea of being able to make up a dream. In the movie they showed different ways that humans normally wake up from a dream, such as when in a dream and you're falling from somewhere you wake up automatically. I can say that has happened to me. So the audience did seem to believe it.
The technology represented in this film gives me a sense of 'awe' because recently I had a dream where it had different levels as shown in the film. That attracted me to the film even more. I think that my response to this text is not typical because most people wouldn't feel like you can do something as implanting an idea in someone's head to get what you want. It does seem a little far-fetched. I do believe there is some people in the U.S. that would have the same reaction as me. In today's world where entertainment is a big market, it is harder to sell serious science than it is to sell science fiction. I don't think there is a limit to what kind of science that can be popular with today's audience. You just have to sell it to where people understand it fully and try to make it enjoyable to everyone.
