Entry #5- Wall-E

The animated film Wall-E was never a big interest of mine and I never understood why people loved it so much. After watching this short clip, it is extremely sad to see that all human interaction is lost due to the immense use of technology. I believe there is a huge connection between this film and today's society. As we rely more and more on technology we have definitely lost the art of communication.

It was easy to see that the people in this clip had lost all personal interaction with each other and talked through a "web cam" even though they were sitting right next to each other.This is similar to the way people in our own society text each other who are in the same room instead of just speaking. The film also showed that the people relied so much on technology that they use robots to teach their children about Buy N Large, told them when to eat, what to wear and even picked them up if they fell out of their chairs. It took Wall-E to break Mary's chair to get her to realize he was speaking to her and at that very moment she realized how immense technology was in her world through advertisement. It was very interesting to see how useless people became the more they relied on technology. Einstein once said, "I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction." This film definitely shines a light on the destruction technology could have in our society.
