#3: WALL-E Strikes Again

I have seen the movie WALL-E multiple times now, but this scene from the movie is very significant for a couple of reasons.

First there's John. John fell off his chair and was stuck. He couldn't get up on his own so he needed to wait there on the floor and wait for a service bot. Why couldn't he get up on his own? Well it's simple: No walking plus eating through a straw plus exerting no energy in anything for your entire life equals massive bone loss and weight gain. Yeah you read that correctly: eating through a straw. These people have become so lazy that they have actual began drinking their meals! Totally disgusting and I mean that can't be healthy!

A is for Axiom: Your home sweet home

B is for Buy N Large: your very best friend

Next there is what they are teaching the children and who is teaching them. These people have no clue that what they are doing is wrong. They have been taught from a very young age that this is the only way of living, and that it is the right way to do it. Not only that but robots are teaching the children! Robots! can you believe it? When teaching the kids the alphabet, the robots incorporate something good about the ship and what they are doing for every letter. Instead of hearing A is for apple, B is for bear and so on, you hear a robot voice saying "A is for Axiom  your home sweet home, B is for Buy N Large, your very best friend" These kids don't get to experience playing in the back yard with their friends; they don't even get a pet because in this world they don't exist. Instead, they sit on their floating prison cells and use video chat as their form of communication even if they are sitting right next to the person they are video chatting with.

THIS SAYS IT ALL. YES!

Our society is definitely becoming more and more like the movie WALL-E. Sure we aren't on floating chairs and eating through straws, but we sure are getting there. Everyday we are becoming more and more reliant on technology. In turn this is making us more and more lazy. We want to be waited on our hand and foot in any way possible, and if that means letting robot take the role of humans then we will let it happen. Technology is consuming us to the point where it becomes us and everything we live for. It's like I said in a previous post: we need to use technology as a tool and nothing more.
