The best way to reduce the world's population

Rewatching this film, I still like it very much. Although it is a sci-fi film, it is quite realistic. This is simply an enlarged version of today's online world. It may be a dog who chats with you on the Internet, the face-to-face communication between people is reduced, the feelings between human beings are alienated, both men and women stay in front of the computer at home, how can men and women fall in love (at least the success rate of online dating) Still not high), so proxy robots are definitely a very feasible strategy to reduce the world population.
Talk about the theme of this film: technology is abused, emotions are abandoned. Everyone isolates himself and protects himself physically and psychologically for "safety". At the same time, the human mind becomes empty, the mind becomes weak, and the body that has not been able to exercise for a long time becomes weak. Finally tasted the consequences of misuse of technology.
