In the future, intelligence will advance to the limits of computing with ever-widening computing arrays, cloud big data, and smart networking computing power. Through searching for solutions in big data and optimizing deficiencies in various fields, the world becomes more orderly and organized. Yet as the natural body disappears as technology develops, love, hatred, and all other emotions human beings possess evolve into objective results of rational calculation. The work uses a sci-fi style narrative to explain the rise in popularity of retro and experimentation as consciousness becomes digitalized in a future era. New human consciousness will be matched to mechanical bodies that imitate the intimate limbs of former humans, establishing discussion regarding the relationship between human consciousness and human bodies in a digitalized era, as well as the unfamiliarity and uncomfortableness between the consciousness and the matched body. Through comparison and debate on the emotional performance of humans in the two eras, we discuss again how physical experience resonates with memory, seeking for human emotions not yet formatted into digital data.
