Comparing Black Mirror to our Media.

I believe that the creators of black mirror are trying to show people if our technology ever got this intense, and it will. That the human race would end up like it is on the show. For a example, In the first episode everyone around Ash is completely addicted to technology that they are literally living in a virtual world, unlike Ash where he wants something natural that this world hasn't seen in so long. Now if you were born into a world like this i can understand why everyone likes it, but the first episode doesn't show enough evidence if they were or not they just know that they were moved there at some time. It does show how the human race is at that point because with out doubt i believe the outside world would be completely destroyed, and the rest of the human race is underground in these facilities. And then i would understand if there is nothing natural left then how could you find something natural? Which the only thing that would be natural in what Ash found was her voice. For another example, the second episode where her husband died and is now talking to him in a virtual reality on her phone shows how much people are addicted the phones today, not just in the future when we have that type of technology. And it also shows how much we would spend money on something just to communicate. Now i agree on this because too many people are actually addicted to their phones, A lot of parents are too. They would completely ignore their kids and be on their phone and won't hear a word they say, And it shows the kid a bit of depression and a uncaring side of things. It shows how parents care more about their Facebook posts or when they are going out to drink with their friends then actually caring for they things they created.
