The ever increasing realization of the potential of technology in our present day society often creates debate over how far we should take it and how far it can go. Technology often creates fear because of its proven power and uncertain future. The fear of technological superiority over humans is used by many film makers to provoke an emotional response from its viewers. The theory of the uncanny valley by Japanese roboticist Doctor Masahiro Mori exemplifies how technological design affects humanity’s reactions towards it. His theory tries to provide insight into psychological human reaction to robotic design. The graph he uses reveals two peaks. The last peak delineates where the resemblance to humanity is complete and the second peak delineates where something is human enough to arouse some empathy, yet at the same time is clearly not human enough to avoid the sense of wrongness. The valley in between represents the point at which a person observing the creature or object in question sees something that is nearly human, but just enough off-kilter to seem eerie or un-homely. This valley is where most science fiction writers draw their uncanny creations from.
