The film of "The Matrix" hits the nail on the head. It wants us to think about our world now and in the future. When we see the incredible technology in the film, we think about the technology in our world. We all notice that technology has changed the way we live. Will future technology be good or bad? Is our current technology good or bad? There are no doubts that technology surrounds people's lives now, and we can't live without it as it can't live without us.
New technology has given us many advantages in our daily lives. A good example is the computer. we can sit in one place and connect with the whole world with the press of a few buttons. People can get as much information as they need from programs set in computers and the internet. As human beings, our memories are limited. We can't store every piece of information in our brain, but the web can. Also, we can't deny that the high speed of the internet can help us do things much faster. Now, whether we are at work, school or home, we always use the computer and internet because they are such useful tools that people can't get rid of them. For me, I like to use the computer to connect with my family members and friends, to get information, and do my homework. It is helpful, useful, and convenient.
Back in the film of The Matrix, we can see our world was destroyed by technology. I can't imagine that the "real world" looks like that. I don't want our planet to be a fake world. However, this film sent us a message to consider what our world will be like in the future. Now, we can see we are damaging our world by polluting the air, digging up too much natural resources, and dumping garbage especially the technology's garbage. Our environment has been changed since we don't have much care for our earth. I believe we should care because we don't want to live the world like the "Matrix." We have to find ways to solve the problems in our world.
The world has developed differently with technology than it would have naturally. And surely technology will continue developing without stopping. In the film, Neo is able to do incredible things like jumping between buildings through programming. I have also heard about how a human could insert a memory chip to identify who he or she will be in the future, although this may not be true. However, anything could happen. I worry about the war between humans and machines that might happen in the future because technology will become weapons so powerful that they will be able to destroy the whole world.
All in all, there are many advantages and disadvantages with technology. We need technology but we must also have control over our technology.
