The city can feel our sentiment and realize us. Actually, sometimes, I think we might not know ourselves more than the city or the technology do. Everything of us can be transferred into data or number or be categorized. Our information is stored and analyzed. This is how the city feel us. Actually, we also know that the city is sensing/feeling us, the connection is everywhere but we can choose to neglect it.
Last month, I purchased a product in a store in the mall. And in the following weeks, I can see the ads of the brands in many different websites. All these ads surround me, it is horrible. But it is not the first time that such thing happened in my life, and I am used to it, so then I think I neglect what was happening. It is the communication between us and the technological society, where we cannot escape from.
The information of us is the stimulation that contribute the sensorium. Now in my daily life, for my biological body, I also deal with it with the information. I think myself is editable. Last week, I could not fall in sleep, then I took a melatonin. The ingredients of the pills began the talks with my biological body, the ingredient then is the information carried. Then my biological body received the order and functioned like a machine and made me feel sleepy, then I could go to sleep.
It is the sensibility that enable the city to modify itself, which makes itself sustainable. It is the same as how we utilize pills to adjust our own bodies’ status. You have to admit that it is pretty efficient, and safe. While we are taking the pills, we are like the city. However, what we are when we are in the city. We are countless cells that hold together to shape such a huge life entity.
In the movie Matrix, there are two pills, one is red and the other one is blue, the choice of the pills means whether to know the truth of the matrix world, but it true that, no matter which pill to take, the true would not change, what could be changed is how Neo feels the world, which is similar to the society that we are living in right now. Whether we know how our data is taken, and know how our actions are influence and modified, we still cannot resist.
