Paper long abstract:

As human beings, it is not uncommon to wonder or speculate about how the future will be. Whether the increasing climate change will bring the extinction of the world, or whether they will leave the earth and colonize a new planet in the solar system. These kinds of scenarios are often seen in science fiction works. Regardless of these scenarios, one thing that will remain the same is that human beings are social beings. The species' survival, the ideas developed, etc. depend on the relations humans form as social beings and how these relations are maintained.

Throughout history, it can be seen that the mode of human interaction and communication has changed drastically. Previously, when one message took days to be delivered through letters, now takes just a few seconds to be delivered via an SMS or phone call. Technological advances have made life convenient in terms of getting things done in a shorter period of time and have also changed how people interact. The interest of researchers has also increased in relationships and communications built on the technological ground, moving from the real world to the virtual world and vice versa. Technology is no longer something impersonal, rather it has become an important element that can reflect a person and his individuality.

Therefore, through this paper, the researcher will discuss fictional works done in popular media/mass media to understand and navigate how human interaction, relations, and communication may take place through technology in near future.
