Anti-Technology or Anti-Humanity?

On the last night of 2015, I watched a depressing movie like Black Mirror. The black technology in the previous episodes took turns, which made people feel surprised and sad at the same time.
When the episode in "The Price of Fifteen Million Journeys" sounded in this episode, the heroine's eyes hinted that this is another story that makes people feel powerless. After watching Black Mirror, I feel a bit like a Shakespeare tragedy. Speaking of tragedy, the British have one thing that is particularly worthy of praise. That is to face the bleak life. It is precisely because of this spirit that the allegorical plot like Black Mirror can be shot, sharply pointing out the contradiction between things rather than reconciling the loss of principles and positions, thus showing a thrilling tragic beauty.
The development of technology has not shortened the distance between people, but has made us isolated from each other like isolated islands. Even though human footprints have reached the moon and flew out of the solar system, we are still like strange planets relative to each other, distant and unknown. However, although technology has distorted our world, we need to realize that technology is not the culprit, it is just a medium, and the source of all problems is still the dark side of human beings. Technology is just the catalyst, all these stories, not technology, in fact, they have happened, are happening now, and I have no doubt that they will continue to happen. I think the show "Black Mirror" is not so much a reflection on technology, but a critique of the darkness of human nature under the cloak of anti-technology. It's not the technology that we need to fear, it's the human heart.

    More terrifying than death is the trapped immortality. It is still an anti-scientist fable in the media age. The idea is not too new, but the atmosphere of the Christmas snow hut dialogue and the connection of several stories are well done.

    Too great, the drama is still god, and the imagination of the future world is chilling. The enslavement and control of technology is a cocoon and self-binding, which is more practical than "Inception". The fact that the copy is removed and shielded from the criminal law is too poisonous. When I think about it, I’m scared. The three stories are like Russian dolls, one after another, and all the protagonists are nailed to death. Japan's "Wonderful Stories of the World" is lackluster, and the creative play is still the first in "Black Mirror".
