Reaction on Futurama

                The first pilot episode of Futurama is an interesting episode. It portrays time-travelling in the form of cryogenics which involves freezing in a point and then defrosted at a certain time for medical purposes. At this point of time, I think that Doctors use cryogenics to preserve the body of a human that can’t be cured in this point of time but can be cured later. This implies that the episode shows the advancement of technology. It shows that in the time period of the episode, science is very advance. This is possible because Fry was defrosted and found living after being frozen for a long period of time. It also shows that at that time, the transformation from a preserve body to a living body is possible.

Another thing, some characters of the episodes is Cyclops and robots. For me, this shows that science and technology at that time are able to produce living Cyclops and robots. The episode shows to us that our science is improving from time to time. It shows that we can improve our technology in proportion to the improvement of knowledge.

For me, in the part that they saw frozen heads, I realized that there can be a way where we can talk with the people in different periods. Also, on the part where Fry and the robot Bender got to the place New New York, it told me that whatever happens even we advance technology, we became great people, or became successful in our lives, we must learn how to go back and look back in our lives in the past because I know that some things in the present is not possible without those things in the past. Furthermore, we should learn how to be contented on the things we have. With these, I mean that we should learn how to appreciate every little thing that is happening in our life.
