Sleep Dealer Cat 5

The Sleeper Dealer was a very interesting movie which showed similaties to the other two movies we have watched in class right away. In The Sleeper Dealer three strangers join forces to break free of the technologies which are controlling not only their lives but that of everyone on the country. The main characters break free by the same technology that was controlling them and turning it around on the government and allowing everyone to be free.

    In The Truman Show, the main character was raised in a TV studio in which everything around him was a setup and his actions were filmed and televised although he had no physical connections to his body his entire world was being manipulated daily. His entire life was happening underneath of a big dome until he started to notice things weren’t right and he decided to exercise his free will that he was able to break free of his environment and the control he was living under.

   The Matrix movie we have another situation where Leo one of the main characters was persuaded to see and enter the world where technology was controlling his life .Leo learns that the Matrix controls everything and the world he lives in is fake but he fights to help destroy the matrix.

    Nowadays if we don’t pay more attention we will be controlled not as directly as is in the movies but in a way which doesn’t feel like control. For example we are being replaced in the work place with new technology. No longer are we able to speak to a human operator, but rather we speak to a electronic operator first. Another example is the recent news that New York City Transit Clerks are being replaced with new automatic machines. Even our banking is slowly being controlled by technology with teller less banks and ATM’s.

   My question to all us is what is going to happen when technology starts to take control of more of our daily lives and jobs. I just wonder what could happen next ?.
