Creatures of Prometheus Summary

Creatures of Prometheus is talking about how gender and technology are related as well as how mankind became human when they accepted the powers of art and fire that Prometheus stole from the g-ds and used it to create things that lasted forever. It also talks about how Zeus gave woman their seductive powers over men to distract them from using their g-d like ability of building. It then talks about how men and woman differ in their use of technology as well as how humans advanced and became more educated because of it. In the end it shows us we have become so addicted to technology that it dictates our future and what it means to be human.

Creatures of Prometheus Summary

There is a link between humans and the things they make. Epimetheus bestowed power on all creatures but man, so Prometheus bestowed man with certain powers. Zeus to counteract this, created the seductive power of women, so that they will distract men from building buildings which are immortal. Men and women make artifacts but differ according to the uses of technology. Thanks to Prometheus humans have the knowledge of how to use technology. Technology has allowed us to advance but determines our future, and without it we would have a difficult time to continue being human.

Creatures of Prometheus Summary

Zeus crated the seductive women to distract the men that were bestowed power of building by Prometheus’s act of stealing god-like power. Women and men are not origins differ but become unlike as uses of technology. There is a clear distinction between the theory we create and the way we use them and this in turn defines what it reason to be human, and in order to be more advanced, men must know solving to technology.

Creatures Of Prometheus Summary

Even though there is a connection between humans and the things they make, theres a distinction in the way they use them. Men and women are the same in ways, but are different according to the way they use technology. Since Epimetheus didn't give powers to man, Prometheus decided to steal some from the gods (for man), which caused Zeus to create woman to distract man. Prometheus also gave mankind knowledge on how to use technology, and that helped us become more human. We've become so dependant on it, that without it, we woudn't be able to continue being human.

Creatures of Prometheus Summary

Before technology man was nothing. When the gifts of art and fire were bestowed on humans this gave them the "divine" ability to build, this blurred the distinction between mortals and immortals. Women were created by Zeus to distract men from this divine act of building, but in fact are not so different because both make artifacts but use them in different ways. There is a connection between humans and the things they make because both can not survive without the other. There is a also a clear distinction between the things we create, the ways we use them, and which gender uses it; both rely on each other and through this connection we no longer have to worry about bare survival.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory/2001 Space Odyssey

The movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" has a scene that includes a short clip from the movie "2001: Space Odyssey". It appears in this Youtube clip. The Oompa Loompa is watching television when all of a sudden the chocolate bar appears in the same place the monolith appeared in the movie "2001: Space Odyssey". Watch this clip and be prepared to be amazed.

The Space Odyssey is trying to impart our relationship with technology which was the obelisk and how human violence, even unintentionally, is caused by it. This was demonstrated by the ape coming upon the bones right after the obelisk clip. Then the clip represents that with the deaths of the first few animals other animals are caused to die. This was represented by the ape killing other animals with the bones of the ones it found. The clip is also trying to show what it means to be “human” by all this pointless killing by apes which represent humans before we evolved. I do not agree with this representation and I feel that many people value life over technology and are very upset when they see pointless killing. Even now with oil prices so high people are opposing the option to dig in Alaska and kill some of the environment and wildlife so that gas would be cheaper. Also not all technology causes harm some of it is very helpful and environmentally friendly like medicines, bikes and solar panels.
