Thematising the ugly side of sublime.
In his Journal, Konik is refering to Sonzero’s movie; Pulse. A techno centricism of postmodernist that states that, we can no longer escape from the technology of our everyday lives. The world is in a state where it is becoming increasingly dependent on technology.
Konik discusses this as a negative effect. We are becoming dehumanised, and our personal lives will be taken from us, as displayed in the movie Pulse. As with nearly all issues, the development of technology is accepted by many while it is strongly opposed by others. In the movie we see how technology has consumed the people.
We are living in a world where technology is part of every aspect of our lives: leisure, education and social. Some say the children of the 21st century are spending more time using technology then they are socialising with their friends. By doing this they are missing out on a vital life skill, socialising. Technology has impacted this generation like we have never seen before.
In this new, digital age society, we are no longer willing to help one another. People do not make eye contact, youth are self-centred and anti-social. Cell phones and smart phones have dramatically changed the way people communicate on a personal level. For example, Families used to have dinner around the dinning table and discuss their day and experiences. Now everyone just has their noses stuck in their phones constantly. People in the same house, let alone the same room communicate via social media with each other. This is one of the things I am guilty of. I send my sister what's app messages asking for breakfast or even just a glass of water if I'm in my room and she is in the kitchen.
so yes technology is taking over and one day we humans will become obsolete.
