Gattaca - A future society

Hi guys,

today we continued talking about the future and what we could do if we had 6 fingers... like in the picture.

With 6 fingers:

We will be able to type faster on the computer.
We will be able to play the piano better.
We will be able to scratch our backs more easily.

...

Then we watched the trailer from the movie "Gattaca". Here is what you said about what you understood from the story:

Gattaca is a science-fiction movie.

Society will be controlled by DNA.

For example, we will be able to pass a job interview with our blood, saliva, or hair.

Our DNA will determine everything about us:

  - where we should work

  - who we should marry

When the technology exists, we  will be able to choose the physical and mental characteristics of our children. We  will be able to choose the colour of their eyes and skin for example.

Cars will drive faster, buildings will be higher and screens will be larger.
