Entry#5(Clip: Human dystopia)
Hello World, today I want to discuss with you a clip my English teacher professor Chris Nielson had shared with me. I have not seen the movie from this clip, but I can assure you that by watching this clip I had a lot of thoughts floating inside my mind.
The first time I watched this clip, I made sure I did not read the title because I wanted to figure it out through watching the clip. As I was going through this clip, I felt depression spreading through all my body my body parts. I started questioning myself, is that where our human race is going to be at in the future? Are we going to be a bunch of lazy fat people ?
Something that I noticed in this clip is it seems like we made a big progress with technology, but the opposite with ourselves.
I am afraid that there is a good possibility this day might come and in fact I believe we are heading toward it. I also believe that technology is pushing us toward that day. We are misusing technology. For example, I remember back in Iraq, when I was 5 years old, the TV we had did not have a remote, so if you needed to change the channel you had to get up and walk to that TV to change it. Today, you can use a remote control to change the channels. We could have definitely made all modern TVs without a remote control to prevent that from happening.
We must do something to stop it now before it progresses. We must look at the dark side before the bright side of each inversion that is going to be part of out technology or I believe that day where we all are going to be lazy and fat will come to us.
I agree to this Mohammad. I think not only technology is making us lazy but also killing human relationships. I do not think technology is bad, in fact I can not imagine a life without technology. The trick in my opinion is to find a balance.
