Patricia Arquette fears the ever-increasing influence of technology.
The 53-year-old actress stars in sci-fi thriller series 'Severance', which explores the impact of technology on our everyday lives, and Patricia admits that the trend "scares" her.
She explained: "I know people are working on very strange things with hybrids of human beings and technology.
"Elon Musk is doing some experimentation. People are cloning things, trying to bring mammoths back from the dead, micro robot surgery. Right now anythingâs possible, so buckle your seatbelts, weâre all on this crazy ride."
Asked whether the ride excites or scares her, Patricia replied: "I think it scares me. Iâm not very trusting with how quickly weâre moving through all of this.
"Our information is everywhere."
Patricia worries for young people in particular, and suggested that their social skills are already being eroded by the influence of technology.
The actress - who stars in the show alongside Christopher Walken, Adam Scott and Zach Cherry - told the Guardian newspaper: "I know thereâs going be this Metaverse, but I donât know what itâs going to be like for young people. Theyâre already so much in their own homes, playing games.
"Iâm hearing from a lot of people that kids are having a hard time. They have anxiety learning how to bond with each other and be resilient, because they just feel safer at home on a device and not having real face-to-face experiences.
"So thatâs the scariest thing. I donât want kids to miss out on becoming resilient. Yeah, you get your heart broken, but itâs OK. Sometimes your friend says something really crappy and you donât want to be friends with them, and thatâs OK. And sometimes you donât feel beautiful or handsome - thatâs OK, too."
