Bing wears grey clothes, rides his bike all day, and hates pornography (although he does occasionally). Everything is virtual, and the only thing you can get from repetitive and boring exercise every day is to add new applications to your avatar, watch vulgar programs, and skip commercials.
Bing hated the virtual crap, and he kept looking for a little bit of real beauty until he heard Abi singing in the bathroom. Bing is attracted, and he spends his savings to get Abi on the Got Talent stage. However, the judges thought that Abi was more outstanding because of her beauty rather than her singing voice. Abi went into the sea under the temptation of her new life. One day, Bing saw Abi on the screen in his room and heard Abi's obscene moans instead of her singing. The last shreds of reality also become illusions on the screen. Bing felt desperate, angry, and he wanted to pierce all this, pierce this hypocritical and absurd world.
Once again, Bing had saved up enough tickets. After a hysterical dance, Bing made his manifesto, without the need for a speech or a careful wording. And all this has become Bing's performance in the eyes of others, even if it is true, so what? In the end, the reality of Bing also turned into an illusion on the screen, twice a week for 30 minutes each time.
Really ironic to his grandma's house.
In any society, everyone has his own place. The cleaners wear yellow, the cyclists wear grey, and the glossy people in the media promote their lifestyles like this: I like to wear gold, I like the outdoors, it's beautiful. Riding a bicycle is a metaphor for the repetitive work of the people at the bottom of modern society. On another level, will the future society require artificially driven bicycles to provide electricity? As Bing's rant said "What we power for?", work has become meaningless. This is critical, since work is meaningless, so what is work for? Work has become a tool of enslavement and differentiation. New shows, new apps, new commercials are playing on the screen all the time. They're tempting you all the time to buy shit you don't even need, and yet you don't even have the right to close your eyes. This is very similar to the future society depicted in Huxley's Brave New World. Classes are determined from birth, and each group has a set trajectory, which is raped by consumption and entertained to death. You may ask why no one resists, "You can try that CPT app, reorganize your thinking mode, and let you take the initiative to choose a healthy diet".

The power of technology.
Let the princess be killed, or let the prime minister fuck the sow, that is the question. Is it right to be forced to harm one person to save another? This may be a moral paradox, has this been resolved? No, the internet just helped put the power to solve this problem in the hands of the masses, look at the crowd waiting in front of the TV, look at the excited expressions on their faces. Thinking about the anti-Japanese demonstrations, looking at the smashed storefronts and overturned cars. Understandably, that sometimes makes things worse.
Likewise, technology has not solved the relationship problem between husband and wife. In the third episode, the male protagonist relies on memory storage to find evidence of his wife's derailment, satisfying his infinite suspicion, and finally the husband and wife separated, but he could not stand the nostalgia for the warm life of the past and removed his memory.
In the end, what people face is still themselves, about morality, about desire, simple and ridiculous self-awareness. There is a good example. We have been fighting since ancient times, and we have been fighting until now. The advancement of technology has not stopped wars, but our weapons have been upgraded from stones, spears, bows and arrows to aircraft, cannons, and missiles. The nuclear weapon that gets everyone finished.
Science and technology are primary productive forces. ----The low stool
is just productivity.
