Modern Times, Then and Now

After I watched the movie of Charlie Chaplin character, I found that the new technology affecting people's life very much. As the moive showed, Charlie Chaplin character was a worker of a factory. He did the same kind of action in the producing line in the factory. So, it change a lot of him. He would do the same kind of action everyday, every moment. I think it is an example of depersonalization. That means the new technology made him like a machine, more than a human being.

Also, I found some similar examples in our daily life. For example, people use the smartphone nowadays. They use it every time, every moment too. They might not have a real communication with their friends because everyone just using their phone to internet or texting with others. Some of my friends even have a more serious issue, they will feel uncomfortable if their smartphone have no battery. They would leave early in a gathering before their smartphone's battery was 0%. 

I think it is an example of the new technology affecting people's life. It is an impossible and ridiculous case in early years ago. It also shows that human are too depend of the new technology. Just like people use car to replace walk, use to turn on the air-con etc. I think we should have a reflection of this issue. Otherwise, we will become the next Charlie Chaplin character in the real life, becoming crazy and out of control.
