Story: Selling Memory
With the development of technology, manual work is gradually being replaced, and more and more people are unable to find jobs, resulting in a huge wealth gap. Those wealthy businessmen who possess wealth use their money for technological development to increase their wealth, and those without money cannot even solve the problem of food and clothing. The protagonist Hugo is one of the members of this world. Due to the time constraints of government relief for people, he returned home and repeatedly used the high-tech electrical buttons at home, only to learn that this is a special machine that seeks work from home. His benefits are also about to expire in the next two weeks, even though he can continue to use this machine to make phone calls and seek work, the artificial intelligence at the end of the machine tells him that there is nothing he can do now. It is now 301302, and Hugo did not give up or become angry because of this. Instead, he searched for valuable items at home, hoping to sell the only remaining valuable thing in exchange for money to continue his life. After a series of ideological struggles, he also put the only valuable watch on his body into the buying and selling box. The development of the times cannot guarantee employment, and Hugo is just one of the survivors in this era. There are too many people like him. He brought these valuable items found from home to the antique shop, and the items in the buying and selling boxes were not much, but they were already precious enough for him. He hopes to sell for a good price, at least allowing him to continue living in that high-tech house provided by the government. But the shop owner only gave a price of 50 Australian dollars. The store owner explained that with the current economic downturn, for everyone, coming to this store is a person who lacks money. Even if you don’t sell it to other places here, you won’t get a higher price than me. Hugo also reluctantly sold these things. The store owner continues to ask, Hugo, do you have any other items for sale? Hugo said nonchalantly, “I only have a heart full of pain left. Do you want it?” Unexpectedly, the shop owner said with great interest that I can indeed purchase some special things here. Then he took Hugo to a small room. There is an extraction device in the room, he introduced, which is used to extract people’s memories and store them in a chip. Then you can rent other people’s memories in exchange for compensation. It is very popular among the wealthy, and the extraction process is very simple. Simply scan with an instrument and transfer it to a computer and then import it into a chip to complete memory extraction. For example, during a skydiving experience conducted by an extreme skydiver, memories of the excitement and sense of achievement are extracted, and the buyer can bring this memory into their own memory to obtain pleasure. This is the entire process. If you need it, you can come to me for memory retrieval and I will give you the corresponding compensation. But I want to remind you that memory retrieval is not perfect. If used multiple times, your memory will be erased from your mind, making it impossible for you to remember the memory you sold, which means that this matter will be completely erased from your memory. Please think carefully.Because of this, this experience is very painful and contrary to the law, but for the wealthy, they are very fond of it. So they often pay high salaries in exchange for memory. Hugo hesitated but was also very curious about how much compensation he could receive. The store manager told him that this needed to be based on the needs of the wealthy, and for them, what they needed was worth it. Hugo decided to go home and consider it before giving a response in the future. The store manager reminds him to think carefully about what precious memories he has, so that he can receive high value returns. In this way, Hugo returned home. As soon as he arrived at his doorstep, he heard an AI prompt stating that your home still needs to be reclaimed in three days. We hope you can give the rent to the government as soon as possible so that you can continue to enjoy this benefit. After hearing all this, Hugo returned home feeling very depressed. He took out the remaining oatmeal and made a simple bowl of oatmeal to eat, but was unexpectedly disrupted by flying flies. This was also the only hope that success had crushed Hugo’s heart. In the blink of an eye, Hugo arrived at the antique shop. After seeing him, the store manager showed a strange smile and told him that someone is now offering high prices to buy people’s memories of high school graduation. At this point, Hugo had already sat on the instrument, recalling the scene of his high school graduation in his mind. The principal was holding his graduation certificate on the podium and watching the students coming and going. Hugo smiled and took a photo with the principal holding his graduation certificate. Immediately after the memory retrieval was completed, a brand new chip popped out of the computer, and Hugo also received satisfactory compensation. Just like this, it’s uncontrollable. After Hugo returned home and paid the rent, he found that he only had a little money left, which was not enough for him to ensure a basic living. He returned to the antique shop again, and this time, the owner told Hugo that there were pictures of wealthy people paying high prices to buy people’s happiness when they got married, and Hugo once again entered the process of memory retrieval using the instrument. After completing two memory retrieval sessions, Hugo returned home and flipped through fragments of his past memories. He took out wedding videos and high school graduation albums, feeling very unfamiliar and physically exhausted. He really can’t remember these things. But he woke up again and went to the antique shop, this time the owner needed a birthday. After entering the instrument, he recalled in his mind the moments of each birthday, celebrated by his parents and friends, and given him a carefully prepared birthday gift by his mother. It was such a beautiful memory, but it was completely forgotten after memory retrieval. In this way, the lost Hugo returned home and received an email stating that it was an opportunity to interview for a job. The other party hopes to have a video conference and interview with him, and the interview questions are also very simple. Hugo was very happy because he no longer had to trade his memory for money. Then he opened a meeting to communicate with the interviewer, but surprisingly, they asked about his education, birthday, and work experience. This makes Hugo unable to answer, as his memories have all been sold to the wealthy.At this moment, Hugo arrived at the antique shop without stopping, only to find that the place was already empty and the store manager didn’t know where he had gone, leaving him with only a scrapped machine and scattered memory chips. He picked up those chips and hoped to input his memory back into his own mind, only then did he realize that it was already too late and his memory could never be returned.
Proposed project pitch overview:
In future life, technology is full of the times, and how we use technology to participate in our daily lives is a very meaningful thing. It is thought-provoking whether we are using the power brought by technology to facilitate our lives or whether we are being replaced by technology and become obsolete products of the times. So how to use the power of technology correctly to improve people’s understanding and usage of technology, whether it violates moral ethics or even the law, is our focus. How to better utilize technology is something we need to understand.
