Blog Entry #5: A Dystopiean Society

 


This short clip from " Wall-E" gives up a short description of the unknown world that we're headed with the technology that is becoming more advanced than ever. The society in " Wall-E" has become a " Dystopiean" society. How? 
Humanity don't have to do any work anymore. Everyone is obese, and they don't seem to have any concept of socialization. The human race is replying on machines, where as they should be relying on each other.
In addition, Interaction between one another, real communication, has been abandoned unfortunately. The world in " Wall-E" is filled with heavy trend of boredom. 

In a way that society in " Wall-E" depend on those robots, I wonder what would happen if all the robots broke down all the sudden. 
Everyone seems to be not working; therefore, what if there's no robot repair men among the society? 
What would happened? 
Technology may have helped the world become a better place, but it has also brought others negative impacts on society such as examples in the short clip above of " Wall-E."

  1. I think in the future people will depend completely on technology and they become very lazy people.

  2. True, very true. I think that our society is slowly getting there because nowadays we have technology that continues on being faster and more efficient. We are getting used to getting things quick compared to how it was a hundred years ago.

  3. We have the technology to evolve really fast but I think they slow it down on purpose. An example would be how the next generation of a smart phone comes out the very next year. The last model compared to the newest model doesn't change drastically. Slight changes are made. 8 megapixel camera to 13 megapixel camera increase in one year. And some smart phones don't even change that much! For example the iPhone. Anyways, how come they don't increase from 8 megapixels to 2000 megapixels? I think they don't want us becoming overly obsessed with our phones. I mean, we already are, aren't we? What's to say we speed the process up right now?
