Modern (Digital) Times

This is the second time for me to watch this movie, i saw this movie when i was a F.4 student in order to learn the economic concept.

According to question one, i think there are two situation about the gain.

If the technology doesn't have any problem, then the worker and the factory owner will gain from these technologies. Charlie can eat faster and back to work faster. So he can produce more  products since the technologies helps them with doing the simple tasks, it is also a part of division of labour.

However, the technologies are out of control in the film and it creates problems in production line. With this situation, i think this is no gain for the workers and the owner, they need to spend time to deal with the problems. The maker of the machines may become the only gain in this situation because they notice that their machines are not perfect and give them a chance to improve.

It shows that the technology may convenient the people, but in other ways, it also creates another problem.

According to question two,  there are some negative effects on the main character.

There are mental and physical illness with Chaplin. For example, after the repeating action, Chaplin still repeat the action when he after work, he can not control his action. It is not only affect his works, but also his daily life.

According to question three, i think there are both advantages and disadvantage in my life, mood and body.
Computer is very convenience, i can absorb various information, meet new friends and even self-learning just using computer in different places different times. I have a friend in USA, i like to talk with her through msn and facebook, although we are not in the same time to communicate, we can use e-mail to know each other.  Also, when i confuse with my works, i use computer to search images and articles for inspiration. No matter you are active or not, you are still have to chance to meet new friends and for self-learning. It is very convenience.

However, using internet may leads some problems such as addicted to internet and cyber bullying. Take my brother as an example, my brother is addicted to the internet since he uses 12 hours computer per day. It is horrible. Besides, it is easy to find news about cyber bullying. Chan Hau Man was a victim under cyber bullying. She just shared her view on Tibentan independence, however, she quickly became the target of harassment. .

There are both adavntages and disadvantages on technology, just depond on how we use it. We can use internet as a learning tool, but also as a tool to attack people.
