1. What are the benefits of the new technologies (industrial machinery, feeding machine, closed circuit cameras) shown in the film? Who gains from these technologies?

 
The benefits of the new technologies are more convenient because it is fasier and save a lot of labour resources. For example, the industrial machinery improves the speed of the production because the production line is automatic. So, the workers just need to stand in a specific place and do the same action. And the feeding machine helps people to save the energry and time to eat, people just need to sit down and then the machine will work and transport food to their mouth.
Bosses will gains from these technologies because the machines increase the flow of production. For example, closed circuit helps bosses to monitor their labours so that the labours will not be lazy and slow down the process of the production.



2. What is the effect of these technologies on the main character’s life/mood/body?

 There are some bad effects such as feel bored, health problem on the main character's life, mood and body. First, as the technologies repeat all the time so the user( main character ) need to repeat the same action whole day, he will feel bored and think his job is meaningless. Also, the industrial machinery is fast and repeating, it makes the main character need to repeat the same action quickly and that will hurt his arms and shoulder. It is because he needs to move his arms very fast and no rest that will cause muscle strain. Last, the main character feel stressful because he needs to use all his power to follow the speed of the machine, and the closed circuit make he son't has any freedom. As for the feeding machine, it hurts the main character when it is damaged.
