The use of colors to differentiate reality from the virtual was quite powerful and allowed the viewer to have a constant sense of place in context to the SRA's. I also found it interesting that Rosetta would tell Ruby to act more robotic on the portal because without putting i a conscious effort to do this she was appearing too real. Because the clones are supposed to be cyborgs they are expected to act a certain way, which we expect from robots, but as living beings they break the model and Rosetta is concerned about the magnitude of her creation and the implications of others finding out her breakthrough.

Additionally I found it interesting that by creating the three copies of herself, Rosetta was attempting to make her job easier, lighten her load a bit, but she ends up with more work than ever as a result. I drew a parallel between her an Dr. Frankenstein where neither creator truly understood the full implications of their creations until after they were completed. On that same topic, the idea of utilizing technology as a method of creating less work brought to mind the household technologies we studied early in the term which actually didn't help women spend less time on household chores although it intended to.
