Last Friday, we presented our idea for the project that Adam gave to us, which asked us to “imagine the impossible”. Before, our project was about nanobots in a hemophiliac’s system to change their DNA and to produce Factor VIII. However, we decided that the subject lacked a creative style and “impossible” flare. Instead, my group chose to change the idea. UCLR, Unlimited Creativity Lacking Reality, is our new idea, which consists of nanobots that allow a person to create their own alternate reality without escaping the real world.
One of our engineers would inject a person with the UCLR into one’s body and control the nanobots to travel to the brain. From there, the nanobots would set up on parts of the brain. A main receptor would be on the front of the brain, which mainly controls the person’s memory. This person would be able to either subtract or add to his or her reality. For example, if a person has a fight with his or her friend, they can delete them from their reality, but in the real world, the friend still exists. Or if a person has a case of stage fright, then that person can delete everyone in the room so that he can confidently speak.
Many would say that this is like an illegal substance, where you can go into a different “reality”. However, utilizing UCLR, a person could control what is in the reality. Also, instead of having horrible side effects, such as lung cancer or overdosage, there are virtually no side effects with the product. In case a person does lose a sense of reality, he or she can just go to one of our engineers to fix the problem. With a product, a person could truly “imagine the impossible”.
