 Wall-E's Truth

When watching this movie for the first time I took it in for what it was, another kids movie. But as my kids would randomly pick it to be the movie of the night, I actually started paying attention to the plot and the characters. Wall-e is just another love story but if you look at the bigger picture it hides a lot of truth that can and may happen here in the near future. 

People think that technology is great(i agree to some level) and they can not live without it, but have you ever thought about how much it is really hurting us as individuals. People today use it for everything, with communication, cooking, cleaning, to simple things like brushing our teeth. What if, just what if technology took over like it seems to do in the movie. How lazy would society get, beside that how fat could it get? This movie actually puts it in to perspective for adults and children to see. 

So now technology is in control of everything. It, because it is not a person, it tells you when you sleep, when you eat, what you learn. How do you feel about that? Is society so mentally numb and lazy they really don't know what to do, say or think. This can honestly be a possibility in the near future. Children do not think they ask Google. People do not walk(think Wal-mart)they hover around on sit-down scooters. People do not cook they get instant meals or call for delivery. Now more then ever people rely on robots to clean. from the automatic floor vacuum/mop to the shower cleaner.

To me Wall-E was a wonderful movie with a lot of love and wake-up calls. It showed how robots are there to help and provide when necessary. But it also show the ugly side of  how people are seriously becoming dependent on technology for everyday living. Just a little food for thought when picking up your phone or turning on the T.V. instead of playing with your kids or just being active for your own well-being.
