Technology Takeover?

Black mirror is a TV series on Netflix that makes social commentaries about society. The episode that we viewed criticized society’s reliance on technology. I believe that the technology fueled the main protagonist’s obsession with his wife’s affair. Only after he re-watched clips multiple times was he able to find evidence against his wife. He may not have even noticed his wife’s actions towards the antagonist without this technology. Constantly playing the clips of his wife with suspicious actions only fed his paranoia. I believe that this technology negatively impacted the protagonist and the society as a whole. While there are notable benefits of such a device, overall it would lead to the dependence of society on such devices. I definitely plan to watch other episodes and see if they are equally thought-provoking!
