He decided for a female voice and the OS names herself Samantha. Through their interactions, the A.I. learns everything about Theodore, pays attention to his every need and reacts as sensitively and lifelike as a human being – or even more so. The man falls in love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>It seems to be a tale about the relationship between humans and technology. Some might have even been shocked that a man attaches himself to an unreal creature so quickly and so profoundly, but in reality, it’s a story about processing loss and how the man finds in himself his female self, and how he makes peace with it. Through the entire movie, in the majority of the scenes, he’s alone. If you turn off the voice, he will remain strikingly by himself. However, the humanized OS, Samantha helps him out of loneliness and in the last scene, leads him back to his friend, to human company, and he arrives at the stage of contentment. That’s the most technology could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But it matters a lot what kind of technology humans create, how we use that tool, and for what purpose. Theodore was playing plenty of video games before purchasing the A.I., and yet, treasure hunting in virtual reality couldn’t get him to feel any better. No wonder since they are tools for getting out of your own existence, creating a parallel world and procrastinating the attempts to solve your own problems. Then what about social media? What about chat programs, chatbots, and robot companions? Is any technology out there at the moment to alleviate loneliness in a meaningful way? Will there be any in the future? Do we need technology to solve our social problems and our abilities\u002Finabilities to live and get in touch with fellow humans?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-21770\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F09\u002FHer-Movie-Wallpapers-3.jpg\" alt=\"loneliness\" class=\"wp-image-21770\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F09\u002FHer-Movie-Wallpapers-3.jpg 870w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F09\u002FHer-Movie-Wallpapers-3-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F09\u002FHer-Movie-Wallpapers-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F09\u002FHer-Movie-Wallpapers-3-512x288.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption>Source: wallpapersin4k.net\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Estrangement, alienation, solitude, and loneliness\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>„\u003Cem>I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude\u003C\u002Fem>,” says Henry David Thoreau American writer and modern-day Rousseau in his book, Walden, who spent two years, two months and two days in the woods around pond Walden to reflect on life and society by walking out of it. He connected to his inner self, paid attention to his spiritual needs and growth and balanced himself into harmony with nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Solitude means something like that. The quality state of being alone or removed from society, as \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedium.com\u002F@jeffreylam\u002Fsolitude-vs-loneliness-being-alone-in-our-connected-world-9b15cb5c8aaa\">Jeffrey Lam put it on The Medium\u003C\u002Fa>. On the other hand, he says that loneliness has a negative connotation, it means detachment from the others and the self, isolation on a more profound level. The state of alienation that could be felt the same way in the middle of a crowd or being at home alone – that’s the feature of our individualistic modern society concentrating in urban habitats. Feeling the heavy burden of ourself detached from others while being surrounded by more people than ever – and by more transmitters of communication than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But communication is not conversation, and connection is not attachment. All the former are products of our fast, urbanized lives where we have seconds to tell our story and seconds to get in touch with a fellow human being. However, that’s not enough to form a deep understanding of anyone, and it’s not enough to find companionship that we are yearning for desperately. But as we have the deep longing for getting out of the state of estrangement, we have been building more and more technologies and connecting to more and more people than ever. Individuals in modern-day Western societies are practically never alone. That’s especially true for millennials. When was the last time you turned off your phone? When was the last time you took a walk by yourself for at least half an hour without any notification?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\u003Cp>[socialpoll id=”2519450″]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Still, the phenomena of the feeling of loneliness, the state of frustration that comes with it, and the desperate efforts to get out of it, are on the rise, hand in hand with one-person households. Of course, the latter also has many factors where, how and why the phenomenon forms, but our atomistic way of living and the fact that the ability to form meaningful relationships started slipping out of our hands are definitely part of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-21771\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"435\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F09\u002FEdward-Hopper-Nighthawks.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21771\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F09\u002FEdward-Hopper-Nighthawks.jpg 870w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F09\u002FEdward-Hopper-Nighthawks-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F09\u002FEdward-Hopper-Nighthawks-512x256.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption>The “painter of alienation”, Edward Hopper, and his iconic work, Nighthawks.

No wonder, loneliness feels terrible: you feel detached from society, you don’t understand yourself or the others much, you yearn for understanding but don’t receive it the way you would love to. As a solution, you turn to technology, try to get in contact with people but end up where you started or even lower.

Perhaps, if you ask an older generation, who did not have the swarm of technology for communication at hand, they will consider perfectly normal to not have conversations with more than one person or no one for days – they will not feel lonely or isolated. Ask a millennial who did not have a message for hours, and you might get the sense he or she feels something’s not right. Moreover, we have arrived at the state where people can be so irked by left alone and quiet thinking that \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.fastcompany.com\u002F3052061\u002Fhow-solitude-can-change-your-brain-in-profound-ways\">they’d rather administer electric shocks to themselves\u003C\u002Fa> than be left alone with their thoughts for six to fifteen minutes, a \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.sciencemag.org\u002Fcontent\u002F345\u002F6192\u002F75\">2014 research study\u003C\u002Fa> found. That’s disquieting and shows how our sense of time about being alone is shifting and the amount of time felt normal to be alone is shrinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>However, we truly need quality time alone for creativity and finding our very own purpose in life. The \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.scmp.com\u002Flifestyle\u002Fhealth-beauty\u002Farticle\u002F2104452\u002Fwhy-we-need-our-capacity-solitude-and-how-technology-slowly\">only way we can come to understand who we are\u003C\u002Fa> and think through critical life decisions is through the self-examination that occurs in solitude.

He is a senior living alone, and as his son cannot visit him as often as he would like to, he buys a social companion robot for him. He hates it in the beginning, obviously – it wants to change his life and his behaviors. The little robot suggests gardening, healthy food and walking in regular intervals. While the programmed device’s solutions seem to be arbitrary and not personalized enough, its entire presence gives a new impetus to Frank’s life. Instead of living life as before, he actually gets into new activities – that’s another question what those were. It might happen to seniors living alone in the future. As a consequence of having a social companion robot, they could forget they are living secluded – since these little helpers could get their minds off the topic – and do something they have never done before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-16073 size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"580\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F07\u002Frobot-nanny.jpeg\" alt=\"Loneliness\" class=\"wp-image-16073\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F07\u002Frobot-nanny.jpeg 870w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F07\u002Frobot-nanny-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F07\u002Frobot-nanny-512x341.jpeg 512w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F07\u002Frobot-nanny-375x250.jpeg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption>Source: www.dailymail.co.uk\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>It’s not technology, it’s us\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As a result, The Medical Futurist argues that technologies are what we make of them, how we use them and how we create them. Take messaging platforms, for example. If you have a friend who lives far away from you and you start a conversation paying attention to what he or she writes with all the courtesies that you would also use in real life, without having many other chat windows open with parallel conversations or watching YouTube videos all the while – that could be a meaningful conversation. Otherwise, you might flatter yourself what a great friend you are, and how productive you are at the same time by having a conversation and multitasking through all kinds of work tasks; but you might end up just lonely and miserable in the end. Why? You would hardly remember what the other person wrote or what you did at work so you might not react appropriately at either place and slowly lose one or another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>So, what’s the takeaway here?
