What if...? (5)

What if the world consisted of surrogates? What would it be like? Would it be like the movie Surrogates? In the movie, everyone in the world has a "surrogate", which is an exact copy of themselves that goes out in the world everyday and works while the human stays home. These surrogates can be any way you want them to be. You can change their gender, height, weight, hairstyle, etc. Anything you want can be changed. This allows room for fraud. It would make it hard to trust someone you are talking to you because you don't know if it is actually that person or not. In the movie, there is no crime because the real people never get out of the house. The surrogates are like robots. They feel nothing. The humans feel the pain when they wake up. This would be crazy to live in. Would there be love? Obviously, the humans walked around at one point, but now they never get out. Would we feel nothing anymore? It seems like people would get fat, useless, and just not care. They never go anywhere, and when they do, it's a whole new world for them. It is sort of like they would have to learn to walk again. They would need to learn to with stand on their own out in the real world again. I don't think many people would be able to get back in that groove. Surrogates would make it where if you were shot, you wouldn't die, but in the long run, it just makes us lazier. Not being able to feel anything would also be a downfall. It would be like going blind. You would be so used to having your eyes, and then you lost them. It would be a difficult task to get used to. It would take away the privileges we are used to. =P
