Video Games: The Future Part 1- Dystopian Worlds

Throughout the future unit we looked at how the world might look like in the future and how other people see the world. While playing Fallout 4 I was able to see that the world that has been created is very different from the one that we saw in Blade Runner. Even though both of these worlds look at the future and both have the possibility of becoming true, I would have to say that the world created in Fallout 4 seems like a more realistic fate for our society. This is because Fallout 4 is set in a post apocalyptic world where a devastating nuclear war has happened and I think that there is a great possibility that the today's world could end up like this because nowadays all countries have nuclear bombs and are always using them as a threat when another country is getting out of hand.

Even though Fallout 4 seems like it is more likely to happen, I still think that some things from Blade Runner could happen because we as a society are evolving so quickly that it seems possible that we could end up with AI at some point in the future.

Altogether I think that both of these futures are possible, I also think that we could end up with both of them happening, just at different times in the future. Like the whole idea of Blade Runner would most likely come first and then the future presented in Fallout 4 would most likely end up being quite some time in the future.
