We are advancing in technology every single day; we are becoming dependent upon man-made intelligences. Craving to have these resources accessible to us at all times, we are virtually trying to make the intelligence of computers and other advanced technology our own. Our human race has always considered ourselves above other species, yet our own ways have us feeling inferior to advanced technology. This may appear ridiculous, seeing as how we create the technology ourselves, yet we have an unsettling need to acquire the skills and knowledge that computers have.
The Sixth Sense is evidence of this seeing as how people have the desire, the need, to carry technology with them. They actually have it attached to them so it is accessible at all times – as if it is part of their own being, a part of them, which they control. The human race has the desire to adopt the advanced technology that they have created as their own intelligences. At the end of the video, there are even claims that in the future the devices used for the Sixth Sense could be surgically installed and hardwired into our bodies - we would literally be turning ourselves into computers. Is this too much of an exaggeration? Jumping to conclusions? I don't think so. I find it unnatural to improve our natural-born intelligence to such extremes.
