In the first four seasons of "Black Mirror", all kinds of high-tech emerge in an endless stream. In the first two episodes of Season 5, it is obvious that there is less high-tech that makes people addicted. The director seems to want to express more about the impact of technology on ordinary people.
In the first episode, Sam, the flying eagle in the Avengers, became an unhappy middle-aged uncle in "Black Mirror". The marriage has reached its seven-year itch, and both the daughter-in-law and the child have already lost the passion for the love they just fell in love with, and real life is so boring and despairing.
At the 30th birthday party, an old friend brought a VR game: the tenth edition of "Life and Death". Under the premise of having fun, the two entered the game and changed into their favorite characters (a man and a woman).
The real world outside the game is still boring and rigid, while the virtual world inside the game has become a real place for the two to vent their pressure and release themselves to the fullest.
So, what is technology? You can say it is a paradise for escapists, or it can be said to be the obscenity of the powerless, but it is undeniable that technology does provide more possibilities for people's lives, and the use of technology cannot be easily denied because of the quality of the results. .
Some people use technology to benefit people's livelihood, while others use technology to commit crimes with high IQ. If technology were denied and the use of technology was abolished because of the results, the Internet would not have appeared twenty or thirty years ago.
Whether technology is a holy place for stress relief or a paradise of escape is up to you in front of the screen.
In the second episode, the uncle played by Mo Niang kidnapped the intern of the Fragment Company, just to talk to Billy Ball, the founder of Fragment, and confided to him his guilt that he indirectly caused his wife's death by driving through the Fragment application.
The three significant points are:
1. Billy Bower, as the founder of Fragment Application, did not stay away from his "children" all the time, but meditated on a small slope overgrown with grass. You see, even the founders of high-tech don't want to be kidnapped by high-tech all the time.
2. After the police shot at the end, no matter if Mo Niang is dead or alive, people don't pay attention. What people care about is that a kidnapping case was discovered in XX. What people care about is that they know something happened outside. People don't care. I don't want to think about and study the cause and effect of this incident.
3. Although Mo Niang killed his wife indirectly because of looking at the debris while driving, the painful lesson is still in front of her eyes, but there are still so many people looking at their mobile phones in the car. The tragedy did not happen to me, I will never be prepared for danger.
Think about it carefully, does the fragment have some similarities with a blog?
Today's hot search number one turned out to be this. Well, tens of millions of people now know about this. But if you think about it carefully, what practical help and effect does this matter have on our practical life? Probably very little.
In this way, brushing the phone has only become a habit, not a necessity to acquire knowledge. Why is the name of the design technology company called "Shard" in the play? Don't you just want to occupy the fragmented time of people's lives and earn your views and clicks?
I like technology, and I am also editing this small testimonial with computer technology. Technology does indeed provide more possibilities for people's life, and it also opens a new window, but the window to which direction to open, decides The power is in your hands.
The weight of technology in these two episodes is much lighter than that in previous seasons. It can be seen that the director is focusing on bringing technology closer to the life of every ordinary person, and urging people from different classes and types of work to think about the impact of technology on every ordinary person. human influence. Although I have a lot of feelings, but after all, in the past seasons Zhuyu is the first, these two episodes are obviously much inferior only with this theme.
Family words, welcome to discuss.
