Modern Times

Hi everyone,

After seeing Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times, I want to share some of my opinion of this clips to all of you.

First of all, in the clips, it shows that the benefits of using the new techonologies. For examples, the products can produce very fast with a similar quality. Also, the boss can know the status of the producing line and give the order to the workers directly and faster than before. On the other hand, machine help the people live in a more simple way. Just like the feeding machine, it help people to eat, make people just sitting on the chair and no need to do anything but people can eat.

However, Modern Times is going to show the disadvantage of machine rather than show its benefits. In the clip, we can see all the workers is working in a same way, they cant do any other things. They seems very boring. Also, their body is affected by these kind of repeated work process. In the clip, we can see Charlie is doing the same action while he is after his work. They doing the same things with same action, they have no freedom to choose, they should do this, because this is their jobs.

Nowadays, internet and computer seems like controled our daily life. However I dont think so. The reason is we can choose. Using computer and internet is not our work, we can rest anytime when we feel tired. There also some people think that, using computer and internet can made us relax after our whole day stressed working. Therefore, using new technologies properly will never gave any bad effect to you.
