You only need to watch the first five minutes of the above program to get the idea. These life-like dolls are custom-made to suit the owners taste. Their aesthetic appearances are reflective of an unattainable ideal that speaks to our culture. The men would rather have the security of a lifeless body than a real companion. Some of the men talk about their dolls as if they are real people, suggesting how the dolls replace the role of a real companion both physically and emotionally. Technology here is acting like a privatizing force by substituting real human interactions and communication for a life-less body. They are suppressing their loneliness for a technological outlet that is furthering them from any real form of communication of connection. For the men the dolls are worth every penny and they come at no cheap price (3000 pounds). Their adamancy about their feelings towards the dolls affirms the psychological impact that technology can have upon people."
