<Abstract>

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the changing aspects of human life in the Hyperconnected Era. The space of virtual reality created through the hyperconnection is another reality that human beings should live in the future. We saw this through the movie Ready Player One . In this movie, reality is depressing and only serves as an auxiliary role in the virtual world. However, this film finally shows how the actual characters of the reality solve the problem by cooperation. We have dealt with the problem of information and the shape change of knowledge. We now live in an era when the combination of hypertext and visual culture creates knowledge. Media restructures human consciousness. In other words, the hyperconnected age becomes a crucial moment to change the structure of human consciousness. Finally, we have dealt with the anonymity of the hyperconnected age. In a society where the anonymity of an individual, or the right not to be connected, is not guaranteed, human dignity becomes insignificant. We have seen through the film Anon the reality of the hyperconnected era when human anonymity has disappeared.
What we can see through this movie is the human being who has to erase his life in reality in the rapid technological development. This paper raises the necessity of 'artificial intelligence humanities' through the appearance of this hyperconnected age.
