           Why People Think They 're Living In A Reality Show by Colin Lecher, describes humans living in a world  filled delusion and paranoia. Delusion as stated in an article by Andrew Marantz are imagination of a world that does not exist or is not real. Similar to the "Truman Show" played by Jim Carrey, his life was based on a lie of a perfect world that revolves around him. In this present time most people are paranoid by the Government  watching over us with satellites and advanced cameras.

As Marantz said "People have always imagined things that aren't real".   I can relate to his statement because I  always imagined  that aliens are real and they do exist. One day  hopefully we discover a planet that has life other than earth, as we discovered the other planets in space.  Like the "Truman Show " one day we will discover a whole entire world with life's other than the one we live in.
The same way we discovered Mars and  other planets in space, we will see aliens or perhaps we will be the aliens  to the other planets.

As mentioned by Andrew Marantz, "Shifts in technology have caused the content of delusions to change over the years". In the past religion and culture played a huge part in everyone 's life, however as time past and technology advanced people started to detach themselves away from their culture to connect more towards technology. Now that technology is advancing every year we are getting more afraid regarding our privacy with the government and other internet websites. A few years back when I went on the  internet and just type in my name or even my nick name I receives a list of information with where I lived, who my relatives are  and even a picture of my house. Now at that time it scared m and  blew my mind thinking with just a click your entire life is presented to the world. I also work for a security company and I get paranoid sometimes because I think I am being watched in my office by a secret camera. Even though there aren't any camera there , I still look around my office sometimes . I do believe that the government does have an eye on our every move.

In conclusion we have to keep an open mind regarding the universe and know that we could not be the only one living in this world. Some people will still think that aliens are just an imagination in their minds or maybe the government just planned another hoax. Hopefully one day we can just take a break for a day to enjoy our life's without worrying who is watching over you.
