Transformation Office

After watching "Transformers" in Warner Bros. Studios, a certain girl has been shocked into a trance. She even secretly told me that she felt something was wrong with the printer in the office, and she seemed to be able to "kakakaka" bending over and stretching her legs to stand up, picking up a stack of A4 papers and walking away. I couldn't help but laugh, and thought of the funny pictures on the Internet that turned hair dryers, sewing machines, and even sports shoes into robots. From Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West" to Orwell's "Animal Farm", from Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" to Rieusek's "Sow Girl", everyone's imagination has finally improved, no longer thinking about changes. It’s an animal, and I’m thinking about becoming a robot.

We are close to Transformers because it is derived from the machines we are familiar with. For children who grew up in cities and rarely touched animals, the transformation of machines into humans can be described as a carnival full of visual excitement. I first saw the Hercules, a combination of mixers, cranes, and excavators. When I met a construction site, I walked around for fear of being caught by those deforming machines. However, Transformers also judge people by their appearance. They are all flexible guys who can fly and run. Have you ever seen a punching machine or a lathe become a robot? No, just because they are too bulky and unsightly, the children have never seen them.

The appearance of Transformers caters to the industrial aesthetic principles of advocating metal texture and complex functions; and for the first time, everyday machines have human appearance and behavior, which is a metaphor for human beings' ambition to tame powerful forces. To put it bluntly, the concept of cars and airplanes as robots means that humans think that these iron guys have the ability and credit. Now that the machines are given the qualifications to become humans, they must be given to us humans to do a good job. Look at the old fairy who has made mistakes in Journey to the West. He hasn't been reincarnated as a human being after thousands of years of cultivation. So it's hard to be a human being, it's even harder to be a robot, and it's even harder to be a good Robot.

While getting rid of a single function and achieving evolutionary transformation, machines have been included by humans in the category of "robots". Our lazy and smart species has also begun to shift the responsibility of more "humans" to machines subconsciously. For example, the girl I mentioned earlier, if she has a deformed printer, she will definitely not bother to get up in the future and ask the printer to deliver the documents by herself; the deformed copier and scanner must be available on call; the deformed water dispenser should also take the initiative to prepare Coffee and Pu'er tea are good; as for the anamorphic projector, you have to push the anamorphic computer yourself, and send it the conference documents to be published in the afternoon.

With the refinement of the division of labor in society, people have gradually become parts of enterprises and organizations that perform their duties, and their skills have gradually degraded, turning to focus on a small part of their profession. Just like a friend of mine who works as a website editor, he can fix manuscripts and pictures by himself when he goes abroad for interviews. The virus in the notebook browser will not be checked and killed. He can only download a lot of browsers to cope with it; another example is me, no contact Before the computer, I used to write articles and copy them in. One time the school newspaper was rushed, and the copy shop went out of power. I spent a long time on the street before I remembered that I could take a pen and copy another copy-because of this, human beings Use Transformers to test the idea of ​​social evolution: If machines with the most refined division of labor can take care of everything, will our work be richer and more interesting?

Of course, even if Transformers do not appear, humans in reality will be able to pass. The machine makes itself fun. Two of my colleagues took the same train back to their hometown last month. One got off two stops earlier and the other got off last. When the next fool was about to leave the station, he realized that his ticket had been taken away by the first fool. I begged again and again at the ticket gate, and then the fool made a phone call to the first fool. With the MMS photo of the ticket sent by the first fool, the latter was let go smoothly-what am I talking about? Humans are a lazy and clever species. They have the courage to cause trouble and the ability to solve them beautifully. Ha ha.
