Black Mirror series

So over the past few days I have watched the 3 episodes in the Black Mirror series, to be honest I found the whole concept quite strange. Showing us the way in which technology has and probably will advance further within each episode. The amazing things that we would forever think unthinkable, such things that would probably never cross our mind.

Each episode has a totally different meaning behind it, yet still explores the same theme of technological advancement and pushes the boundaries.

The 3rd episode stood out the most to me, mainly because it has a small connection to the thoughts that are going through my head about how cameras have become our 'second' set of eyes. The characters within this episode have chips implanted in their heads and camera's in their eyes, meaning that everything they see is recorded and stored on the chip in their head, they are able to go back and watch what has happened and they have seen thought their eyes, whether it be the day before or a year before - something quite amazing, yet quite weird at the same time. The thought of that one day being actually reality is quite amazing, even though we already have something quite similar with video cameras, the fact that its implanted into your head and is there instantly is a bit strange.
