The Hologram And Its Impact on Marriage Life In The Future
The story of the Japanese man who married a hologram raised questions from others in Japan and for the whole year. Among the blessings of marriage, among signs of amazement, the 35-year-old did not care about these different opinions, except that he had made the intention of marrying and he was sure that this would make him happy.
Although this story may be an important story in the film industry, it actually happened in life, and according to some Alaa, the reason behind this may be due to many reasons, including fear of marital relations problems, fear of forming healthy marital relationships, and The presence of social media, and the impact of technology on a larger scale on social phenomena.
Advantages and disadvantages of technology on married life
Although the presence of technology has many benefits, including helping the satisfaction in obtaining private marriage counseling, or searching for a psychiatrist online, it certainly has a bigger downside than that.
Digital interactions are increasingly replacing face-to-face human contacts around the world. And while companies like Google, Amazon, and Tencent are investing billions in developing artificial intelligence, people are starting to associate with their smart devices as they do with humans.
Some say “please” and “thank you” to virtual assistants like Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa, or treat robotic vacuum cleaners like pets. In Japan, where robots have long been seen as friendly companions rather than Terminator-esque destroyers, this shift in attitude is well underway.
The Japanese man who married a robot
As for the marital relationship between the Japanese man and his Japanese wife, in an interview with him at the CNN, he stated that he had fallen in love with the robot a decade ago when he heard the singer’s electronic music.
Now he has a Gatebox, which looks like a cross between a coffee maker and a bell pot, with the 3D robot inside floating. Created in 2017 by the Japanese startup Vinclu, the device allows anime fans to “live with” their favorite characters.
This device has helped the Japanese man manage simple greetings and turn the lights on and off, but it is also subject to glitches and system breakdowns. After all, his wife is a robot, who is in complete control of the romantic narrative.
Some say that having a robot in a married life with this Japanese man may have saved him from sinking into depression especially after he was bullied by his older co-worker more than 10 years ago.
As odd as it may be, having a safe and predictable partner is often very beneficial therapeutically.
