Modern Time

Since the industry revolution, technologies are becoming more and more important in our daily life. But I'd rather say it's SEEMS important. We often look back of the life in mid-age and feel pity for them because we simply belive that technology help us to be happy.
My question is, is technology really make people happier than before? Isn't it just made life more convenient and comfortable and becoming much greedy and demanding too much??

In the story of Modern times, there is no particular conflict like drama or movies usually have. It’s more of a plain unadorned account. Many little issues made the movie, with funny jokes while audience felt sad when the movie finished. Modern Times shows workers position or situation were largely changed by machines. I think the reason why director think of technology so negative is he produced it right after The Great Depression and there were large amount of unemployment. Workers at that time suffered a lot (many workers nowadays especially in undeveloped countries are also in a terrible circumstance ) and they believe it’s due to the invitation of machine, in other word, the development of technology.

Now people talk more about the benefits of technologies and sincerely appreciate it. I do too because it became a very important part in our life in many aspect and made life more convenient and comfortable. But the developing of technology is not always good which make people lazy and caused a lot of waste. It may another reason for Modern Times that the director chose silent film even though sound film was invented. Simple but depend more on actors performance rather than words.

For now, I think there’s too much technology that is useless or just too much for one’s life. Tradition is not always bad thing that has to be destroyed, they often shows the wisdom of our ancestor’s harmony life style. We should rethink of technology to avoid enslaved by it.
