Reaction Paper on Futurama

2013-14349

Futurama is about a boy named Fry who was accidentally frozen for 1000 years. He ends up waking up in the year 3000. The "time travel" shown in the episode wasn't time travel per se. Instead, it just presents technology wherein individuals can be frozen and "preserved" for a certain period of time, which is how Fry "travelled" to the future.

The show featured very advanced technology. What struck me the most was how they developed technology to organize society in such a way that everyone had an assigned role through the "career chips." In a way, the way the show portrays the future is dystopian because individuals are not given the freedom to choose their careers.

Lastly, the show was set in a world very different from ours. Aliens exist and robots have minds of their own. Humans also have evolved to have different features, like Leela, who only has one big eye. Overall, Futurama is a very creative portrayal of the future.
