Truman Show Syndrome
         Since the beginning of time people imagine things that aren't real. In the article "why people think they're living in a reality show," Colin Lecher states that sufferers of the "Truman Show" syndrome imagine a world where everyone is watching them, and people are convinced they are stars of an imaginary reality show.  Truman show syndrome, is a story which reflect to our culture, technology and mind. with that in mind, people have always imagined things that aren't real and it helps them in the future because it is a good incentive for being creative and less stressful.
       I think that people have always dreamed and imagined things they aren't real. As a human being, our brains are fascinated with the artificial and the unknown. It is a part of our brain functionality. Moreover, imagining things helps people avoiding stress. A lot of artists were not trusted when the came out with some of their ideas, and years later, these idea came to be very interesting. for example, "allegory of the cave" which presented by Plato as imagination, but in fact it is a truth and useful theory.  If they had never imagined anything, there would be no scientist or technological advancements in this world.
     Imaginations leads to a technological advancements that we use nowadays. A lot of inventors were ignored when they told people or companies about their imagination or new ideas. As an example, humans have dreamed of flying and tried to imitate the motion of birds, and have attempted to achieve it. If no one had dreamed about flying, the air plain would never exist. As a result, most of advancements in technology came up with imagination.
     I think that people have always imagined things that are not real, and actually it is better as long as they don't exaggerate on it. however, i believe that people who have  those delusions might have better behavior in a society.
