Believe when I say this: 100% of my attention is on the film I watch -.- I dont think that as I'm watching the movie I give myself a reality check that it's fictional story, so I end up pouring out all my emotions, especially when something tragic happens and someone ends up crying! the character may have a few tears but I end up crying a river!
What is it about the advancement of technology and everyday gadgets that you find so tragic? Technological singularity is a long way away mate, don't worry.
