"WALL-E" Reflection

Today, we finished the second half of the movie "Wall-E". The rest of the story, was developed in almost the same direction as I predicted yesterday. Wall-E and Eve finally save the plants and help human go back to Earth. Then, the people learn to stand and walk without help from an automatic chair, and begin a new life on the Earth again.

"Wall-E" impressed me greatly, and it made me think of lots of things.
Presently, there are many people who are worried about some side effects of advanced technology, which is good. What is unfortunate is that some of them try to put the blame for their mistake on other factors but not themselves. Some people argue that human should stop developing the technology because technology can destroy our world. But, are the problems really caused by technology development? Can it be resolved if we get rid of all the technology?

In "Wall-E", human destroy the world and leave to the space irresponsibly. They make robots who will clean the Earth for them, but when the plan was failed, they immediately abandon the Earth and decide to stay in the space, forever. The auto pilot, who cause the main conflict and try to keep human from going back to the Earth, is just following the directive which was given to him by the ancestor of the people. Hence, the problems in the movie are not really made by the advanced technology, but it comes from lack of responsibility of human.
On the contrary, robots including Wall-E and Eve, have even more humanities than real human, and help people to go back to their Earth, and help them start a new life again. With the help from the robots, human can settle on the Earth easily and soon acclimate themselves to the new environment.

There are many great writers who worry about the technology and human's future. However, in many of the stories, the original cause of the disasters is not from other factors, but from human themselves. When the people realize their faults and try to fix the problems, most of the troubles are resolved, just like in the movie "Wall-E" and "City of Ember", but if human shirk their responsibility and keep addicted to the convenience of advanced technology, some serious catastrophes can really happen to them, as it did in the story "The Veldt".

Technology is not an evil, unless we use it recklessly. It is true that there are some grave side effects of the technology development, but only if we are aware of its dangerous aspects and use it wisely, technology will bring us great advantages without disasters.
