Black Mirror’s Reality is Closer Than We Think - by Hannah Fay

One of the main appeals of watching Netflix (or one of the many other streaming apps available) is to escape the realities of day-to-day life. When you press play, you no longer have to worry about what our president said -- you can immerse yourself in the words of Mr. Underwood. No worries about your own office’s quirks for at least 20 minutes when you have The Office. And you can forget about the perils of modern technology when you press play on the dystopian nightmare that is Black Mirror.

Or can you?

Believe it or not, many of the seemingly far-off technologies found on the show are much closer to reality than you’d think -- if not already out there.

1. “Fifteen Million Merits” and Sweatcoin

One episode centers around a man living in a society that requires its members to ride electric-power-generating bikes in exchange for “merits” with which they can buy things they need. Though I haven’t heard of any Soulcycle classes quite like this, there is an app called Sweatcoin that tracks steps and converts them into the app’s currency. Users can then exchange said sweatcoins for anything from yoga classes to iPhones to cash to charitable donations in their name. In order to prevent “tricking” the app into getting your steps in, it utilizes the accelerometer and GPS features that are already built into your phone.

2. “Be Right Back” and Augmented Eternity

In this episode, a grieving woman ultimately enlists a tech company to install a virtual version of her dead boyfriend in a synthetic body in order to keep him living long after his death. This is done using his old voicemails, emails, and text messages. While the creation of an intelligent robot that can almost-perfectly walk and talk like a human is not yet possible (though some machines have been put forward that claim to be able to do the former), immortal “chatbots” are already here. The founder of AI startup Luka used his deceased friend Roman’s digital footprint to create a chatbot that could mimic his most common responses and tones, resulting in a sort of “augmented-eternity.”

The company’s primary product is the app Replika, designed to function as a bot-friend that users can call upon when they need someone to talk to, or (as the site suggests) when they want to “learn to open up and be vulnerable.” While the bot isn’t created from a deceased loved one, it is created based upon the way you interact with it. As a result, the bot is effectively a digital replica of your own communication style, albeit one that is designed to be extra-considerate. Someday, it might be able to function for your friends and family as a sort of living memorial.  

3. “Men Against Fire” and Augmented Reality

In one of Black Mirror’s darker installations, a futuristic army is tasked with exterminating a class of mutated creatures called “roaches.” With the help of augmented reality eye implants that can display tactical information, it seems a battle easily won. What the soldiers don’t know is that their implants are misrepresenting innocent human beings as said roaches. Though no such eye implants are on the market yet, companies like Google and Vuzix have been offering AR eyeglasses to consumers for years. One just has to hope that their glasses don’t get hacked for sinister uses!

Not just simply for techies, AR has some useful applications. In the medical world particularly, AR has been used to supplement MRI and X-Ray images to help surgeons perform their jobs more accurately. Recreational travel apps have also capitalized on this technology to give tourists “virtual museums” when visiting historical landmarks. You’ve most likely encountered AR in your day-to-day life when using Snapchat lenses to give yourself a mustache or dog face. 

4. “Nosedive” and China’s Social Credit Score

“Nosedive” is set in a world where every citizen is peer-ranked on a scale from 1-5 after each interaction they have. Done via mobile device, this score dictates property rights, reputation, job opportunities, and almost anything else you could think of impacting daily life. While one could argue that the numerical values and engagements attached to social media in general already have some of these effects (just look at this influencer-only mural in LA as an example), China’s developing Social Credit Score system has real life consequences. Citizens will reportedly be monitored by over 600 million surveillance cameras by 2020 to augment information gathered from online activity, payment records, and more traditional records (such as criminal or financial). The information would then be fed into an algorithm that spits out a standardized rating dictating everything from what jobs the citizen is eligible for to whether or not they can stay in certain hotels. Though not all of the technologies that China will use to implement this system are cutting-edge, this is possibly the most ambitious integration of data points from diverse collection points ever undertaken by any one body (except, possibly, Amazon).

5. “Metalhead” and Boston Dynamics

This one’s pretty self-explanatory: a dog-like robot goes rogue and attacks. While it may not be possible for any robot to develop that much of its own violent agenda, it is eerily similar to the creations of the locally-based Boston Dynamics company. Their creations are able to run faster than Usain Bolt, navigate uneven terrains (even in the desert), and jump 30 feet in the air.

Here’s a clip from the Black Mirror episode:
