Description
We have reached the point where the fantasy of the past is now a reality. Real life like and life sized dolls created to be companions to those who want them. A Japanese has taken it a step further and has one almost ready for sale that can hold a conversation almost like a live person. It also has facial expressions to fit the conversation.
But beneath all this outer beauty is still the sterile cold metal and wires. Nothing truly alive about them and only shallow external facades. And yet there are cultures that are embracing this idea of companionship over a real relationship. Favoring fake instead of real. I read a couple articles recently about this happening in Japan right now and the concerns with the nations long term survival as the move to fake partners means no new children being born Now Japan is a unique place and culture compared to most of the world so what happens there will likely not happen else where any time soon. But there are growing numbers of people embracing this idea and spending thousands just for one life like doll.
What the future holds for us in this is anyone's guess and how to deal with the new concepts of morality that are sure to arise from it will be much debated.
