Issue 5: Will technology consume our future?

Please take a moment to watch the video clip above.

In this video clip, Wall-e an out of date robot, sees how technology advancements has consumed human social behaviour and habits. Humans have become so dependent on technology that even though they are right next to each other, they would rather video chat then talk to the person next to them. This clip also shows that propaganda has infected humans so much that it is taught to babies during the learning development. They are super reliant on the machines and do not start to change until Wall-e interacts with them. Dependency is on such a large scale that the humans do not even chew their food or do anything themselves.

While on the tram, Wall-e interrupted a woman on a call, while trying to reach Eva. Due to this interruption, the woman was able to see the world around her. It shows just how lazy humans become as they allow technology to do everything for them. It all starts out as convenience, then humans convince themselves that everything from there on out is convenience. When will humans say no?
