Mobility and Film

How will our future society change, bringing benefits and threats to us?

  • Technology of future prediction in Minority Report (2002)
  • Biometric technologies such as iris, fingerprint, facial recognition in Minority Report
  • Data openness and storage by motion recognition in Minority Report
  • Internet of Thing in everyday life in The Island (2006)

Exploring through news clips and seven films, this lecture contemplates the convenience and lifestyle changes brought by autonomous vehicles and discusses how mobility depicted in films affects our lives when applied.

Information and Commumication Technologies & Mobility Society

The various forms of mobility in modern society, through advancements in mobile technology and transportation such as migration, immigration, the movement of people and goods, computers and the flow of information and capital, are widespread phenomena. A mobility society is characterised by expanding spatial boundaries based on mobility.

If a migration to cities since the Industrial Revolution is simply a shift in residential locations, mobility in the information age encompasses broader social, political, economic, and cultural changes. Beyond philosophical thinking about how human life will change shortly, we will confront practical challenges. With the emergence of the 4.0 industry, led by the internet, robots, artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, Internet of Things, 3D painting, nanotechnology, and other technologies, society is undergoing rapid changes. The convergence of scientific and technological advancements with existing industries and services transforms human life in new ways.

Meanings of Counter-economy, Counter-caring, Counter-education, etc. in Modern Society

In “counter economy,” “counter-culture,” and “counter education,” the term “counter” means opposition or resistance. In modern society, where mobility technology has advanced, people enjoy material abundance, forsaking traditional communities’ cooperation, sharing, inclusivity, and hospitality. This lecture explains modern society based on the theories that analyse society, focusing on the “functional system.” Furthermore, it explores why “counter” is necessary for each functional system, such as education, economy, politics, culture, and arts. Additionally, it emphasises the importance of community movements as a counter and a complement.

For written communication to social media, this lecture traces the origins, status, and potential future trajectories of social media. Additionally, the lecture discusses the issues that come with social media, such as forming and ending relationships, narcissism, and commercial transactions. Through this exploration, this lecture allows us to think about the present and future impacts of social media on our lives. Moreover, the lecture contemplates various movements, definitions, characteristics, and the current state of mobility and investigates what types of content are available.

Mobility and User Experience – Emotion Sign

With the rise of the digital era, our communication methods are changing, and interaction styles are becoming more varied. People express their thoughts not only through sentences but also by using words and emojis. One clear example of this shift is the expanding emoji market. With images as small as 50 pixels, individuals use emojis to convey their opinions and feelings. By looking at examples of user experiences in communication and emojis, the lecture explores new perspectives and insights into co-evolutionary mobility.

History of Digital Contents 1: Changes in Media

Throughout the lecture, students learn about the dictionary definition of media and the background of media emergence. They also explore how analogue and digital media have transformed through various examples, considering the processes and catalysts behind each characteristic. Also, by examining the evolution of multiple media, from cave paintings to mobile and social media, students explore the characteristics of social media and contemplate effective ways to use them.

Mobility and User Experience – Synesthetic Sign

Humans have sensory organs like eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and skin. Whenever we consciously or unconsciously experience moments or places, we undergo user experiences based on these sensory elements. The smell of fresh bread or coffee can trigger purchases, and handshakes with politicians can influence voting decisions. Our senses extend beyond basic instincts and are utilised in various aspects of life, such as politics, economics, and human relationships. Through examples of user experiences based on multisensory elements, we can understand sensory symbols within mobility.
