Two months ago, I quit Moments. In the age when thumbs-ups were sluggish, people gave up the habit of regularly contacting each other's current situation, and instead displayed parents' short stories on the Internet and assumed that others would automatically read them. So soon, two weeks later, I learned what it means to lose contact with the world.
This is the technology we trust and rely on, the extremely powerful and extremely fragile Internet.
Today, while defamating the Internet, I downloaded this movie called "Disconnection" from the Internet. It tells three stories about the Internet.
A lonely teenager from a middle-class family who loves music was targeted because he saw through the pranks of two bear kids. The other party effortlessly found all the information on social networks and became friends with what he liked. The two sides talked about it. After the young boy’s private photos were maliciously spread, the boy went to despair. All this brought a fierce confrontation between the two fathers who were deeply in love but never knew their son...
A young naked chatting teenager who lived vainly, was photographed by an ambitious female reporter and became a hot news spot, gradually born under the care of each other Naive and unrealistic fantasy, but in the end realized that he was just a nobody being used. Even though the female reporter is suffering from her heart, she can't stop everything that is surging...
a couple who lost their beloved son is drifting away in the pain. The husband was guilty of gambling and evaded at work, and his wife sought solace in an online mutual aid group. Self-exposure of a large amount of information led to the theft of credit cards. The two began to hunt for the culprit, and gradually found each other in the memories of getting along with each other...
Three stories, two fathers and sons, a strange man and a couple, and a couple, all of them are relationships. Some seem to be solid but they are already rotten. Some have accidental fetters by coincidence, and some have been tightly connected but hit. That is collapsed. Through the Internet, people who have nothing to do with each other in reality are connected, but people who are intimate in reality are getting farther and farther away. There are forums and chat rooms everywhere, and dating apps everywhere; no time to supervise the kids? Give him a cell phone; don’t worry about his loneliness, he has a cell phone. In the Internet age, relationships are so easily accessible; in the Internet age, it is shameful to be lonely; in the Internet age, there will always be an ID to love you for me.
So we want to find everything online, "In the pre-Facebook era, you had to be someone to share information with others, but nowadays, you can only become someone after sharing everything with others (by digital Thinker Jaron Lanier).” Then,
we tried to dig our hearts out to strangers, but we were too lazy to care whether so-and-so and so-and-so within one arm was crying or laughing;
we were busy and generous in praising our friends circle, but we were stingy to give to our side Everyone hugs;
we talk to strangers, but
we are speechless with people around us; we expect more and more technology , but we expect less and less of each other.
It is said that technology changes life. In fact, technology itself has no original sin. Technology only allows those efforts that could have been numb to find an excuse to give up, and let the problems that could be solved in the estrangement of everyone bow their heads and push them to escape. . At the end of the film, the couple finally hugged each other after a long absence. The two fathers finally scrambled together in anger. The boy finally left indifferently, and the female reporter finally cried sadly. They did something and gave them what happened. A forward ending, which is better than the text that wanders coldly in the dark and finally comes to death.
Finally, a group of American photographer Eric Pickersgill's work "remove", he removed the mobile phones and electronic devices in the hands of people in the photos, so the people in the photos seem to be living alone in their own world...
