The Ideal

We say that the future city will be an automatic system for human like a science fiction films which means the 'Ubiquitous City or Intelligent City'. Actually, so many science fiction movies contain the wish or demand of human life. Generally, they show the convenience things for human life, the ideal image of future city, the solution technology of human being, and so on. In this world, every built thing is the product of human desire. Meanwhile, the scientific scenes in the movies are also the product of human desire. The reason of the above, this study tries to analogize image of city future by analyzing scene in the science fiction films and human action desire to make the future image. Eventually, this study is going to make 'human life scenario' in the future city which consisted with mixed scientific scene in the science fiction films and sorted by human desire for forecasting the future city. This scenario may apply for forecasting the real future city.

“Imagining future cities” contrasts the idea of the human city with the robot city, an idea that is never far away from the cities of the future we see in science fiction films. As some of these future visions demonstrate, the ideal city contains elements of both the human and robot city and is powered by big data and technological developments, as well as human connections and recognizable hubs like the bar, bazaar, and branch library. As well as function and commerce, city planners of the future will need to remember the roles of community and interaction in keeping cities alive.

The Ideal

With the popular utopian novel well established by 1875, a growing number of writers entered the scene, each offering their take on the problems of the city and the promises of high-tech suburban life. Benjamin Ward Richardson, a famous physician, made an international splash with his vision of Hygeia, a City of Health, promising to deploy green spaces and leverage new building materials to create modern, happy communities. Critics and designers responded in droves, with several rejecting Richardson’s reformed urbanism as too dense, while others committed to actually building Hygeia-inspired suburbs. The first science-fiction dystopian novels were also published in these years, prophesying monstrous, swarming metropolises where human life would be devalued by rampant materialism and pervasive artificiality. Thus, the ideal future of the happy, healthy suburb received its literary foil: the megacity of inhuman density and anonymity. The cumulative message was clear: a life in gardens is the only hope.

The City

Nestled among E. M. Forster's careful studies of Edwardian social mores is a short story called “The Machine Stops.” Set many years in the future, it is a work of science fiction that imagines all humanity housed in giant high-density cities buried deep below a lifeless surface. With each citizen cocooned in an identical private chamber, all interaction is mediated through the workings of “the Machine,” a totalizing social system that controls every aspect of human life. Cultural variety has ceded to rigorous organization: everywhere is the same, everyone lives the same life. So hopelessly reliant is humanity upon the efficient operation of the Machine, that when the system begins to fail there is little the people can do, and so tightly ordered is the system that the failure spreads. At the story's conclusion, the collapse is total, and Forster's closing image offers a condemnation of the world they had built, and a hopeful glimpse of the world that might, in their absence, return: “The whole city was broken like a honeycomb. […] For a moment they saw the nations of the dead, and, before they joined them, scraps of the untainted sky” (2001: 123). In physically breaking apart the city, there is an extent to which Forster is literalizing the device of the broken society, but it is also the case that the infrastructure of the Machine is so inseparable from its social structure that the failure of one causes the failure of the other. The city has—in the vocabulary of present-day engineers—“failed badly.”

As If

This chapter talks about distortion as a form of dismantling. It describes distortion as the historical and theoretical technique by which readers learn to approach political documents as if they were science fiction. When considered as a vehicle of distortion, literature is measured for its potential to alter exploitative conditions, like those of war, patriarchy, and racism. The science fiction writer Samuel R. Delany insists that transformative change takes shape neither in utopian nor in dystopian visions of the future, but rather in efforts toward significant distortion of the present. This attitude, which is also a theory and practice of literature, is one way to describe the inheritance of cyberculture in the works of writers and activists who employed speculative language to repurpose the thought of Alice Mary Hilton and the Ad Hoc Committee. These writers and activists focused not on the machines that would unveil the myth of scarcity, but instead isolate the forms of human life and relation that would follow the act of unveiling.

Sexuality began to be seen as a positive scope of human action, in this context, it began to value sexual education, raising discussions about its importance. The aim of this article was to analyze knowledge about forms of contagion and prevention of STIs. This study was conducted in 03 state schools of elementary and secondary level. The sample consisted of 287 students regularly enrolled in these schools covering the 8th grade/ 7th grade of elementary school until the 3rd year of high school. Data on gender, age, marital status, education and others were collected in this study. Most participants have already had contact with the term STI; however, it still has beliefs about its forms of transmission. There is a need to approach sexuality with a more natural and positive aspect of human life, providing the free discussion of norms and patterns of behavior and the debate of attitudes.

Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery

Once the stuff of science fiction films, the era of robotic surgery is finally upon us and experts predict it is set to revolutionise treatment for patients having surgery. Enthusiastic doctors and engineers have been collaborating since the mid-80s but only now are we seeing the fruit of their labour as cost-effective, safe, minimally invasive robotic surgery finally arrives in our operating theatres.
