Homo Digitalis Episode Guide
The Perfect Friend
S1 Ep1
18th Oct 2017
Are real human relationships soon obsolete? Will we only meet our friends virtually in the future? - Researchers are already working on the digital replacement for meeting friends. They simulate the presence of people who are really far away or even dead. How does Helen Fares react when faced with a hologram instead of her friend?
The Upgraded Brain
S1 Ep2
18th Oct 2017
Our bodies and brains can now be upgraded technically. Anyone who gets a chip implanted in the brain can greatly expand their thinking abilities. This blurs the boundaries between man and machine. What happens if the computers are smarter than us in the end? - Helen Fares tests what her brain is capable of today.
The Digital Orgasm
S1 Ep3
18th Oct 2017
Does life in the digital world lead to less and less sex? - A recent study confirms this thesis. In Japan, this trend is much clearer than ours. Around half of the 18 to 30-year-old Japanese are permanently single without interest in intimate contacts. Robots could help here. How does that feel - sex with a robot?
Eternal Youth
S1 Ep4
18th Oct 2017
Would you tune your body, become a cyborg or hack your DNA to extend your life? - What sounds like science fiction is partly already a reality: the prediction of diseases, the change of human genome and organs from the 3D printer. Helen Fares is fascinated by life-prolonging possibilities - and lets herself experiment with herself.
Virtual Entertainment
S1 Ep5
18th Oct 2017
Anyone who has already tried everything in real life could discover something more exciting in the virtual world: as a superstar, as an extreme athlete or by immersing yourself in another body. Virtual Reality gives young people a very special leisure kick. Helen Fares tests if this is for her and gives a virtual live concert.
Digital Happiness at Work
S1 Ep6
18th Oct 2017
Do machines and robots make us more efficient at work and ultimately happier? In fact, computers can learn to capture human emotions and desires. That would have to result in happy employees. Which in turn can work extremely efficiently. Who really benefits from the technological revolution in the end?
A New Type of Human
S1 Ep7
18th Oct 2017
The digital revolution is transforming us humans sustainably - physically and mentally. How long have we still belonged to the species Homo sapiens in this rapid progress? Does only the Homo Digitalis have a real chance of survival in the future?
Will there come a point when our brain stops thinking without a computer? When we consider digital sex better than the real thing? And turn our body into a machine? We are living in the midst of an upheaval that could be more radical than anything our parents or grandparents ever experienced. But what does it all mean for us as human beings? In seven episodes the protagonist Helen Fares goes on a journey through futuristic technologies. She meets virtual friends, learns to steer a drone with her brain and to hack her own DNA. Encounters with experts in the US, Japan and Britan provide context to the posed question: Are we evolving into a new species - the Homo Digitalis? Simultaneously Homo Digitalis is a scientific experiment. In a playful test either as chatbot or as website the user can find out his or her personal future.
