Storyline Edit. Add content advisory. Did you know Edit. User reviews 4 Review. Top review. It's a spin off of the wipe series what can I say? It's extremely funny and definitely thought provoking. The documentary style gives the show a more mature feel over ScreenWipe or NewsWipe making it feel more based around facts instead of Mr Brookers opinion. Details Edit.
Release date January 25, United Kingdom. United Kingdom. The next step is Teen Cribs, where the worship of children and tycoons merges into worship the children of tycoons, and aspiration becomes farce: "How are you meant to aspire to be someone's child? In the final episodes on "Progress" and "Knowledge," Brooker examines the role television has played in our conflicted relationships with technology and our growing lack of enlightenment.
Initially, humans have been prone to distrust new inventions and scientific advances, and the television machine itself was regarded as "an unfamiliar intruder that squatted in the corner of the living room demanding the entire family shut up and stare at it. Never mind apes, we must be descended from moths. Television found a way to merge with the technology, creating shows like Big Brother, " a reality show in which you watched humans walking around inside a little house and used your phone to proclaim which of them you found least objectionable.
But it's contributed to a culture in which people feel a vague sense of permanent outrage that they can automatically control world events by texting in, that no matter how many times you jab those buttons, you can't vote all this unpleasantness off the bloody news.
Technology has advanced the level of fakery that entertainment can engage in. While we expect Game of Thrones or a Star Trek spin-off to contain special effects, even mundane detective shows are filmed on green screen sets with backgrounds to be filled in later.
Brooker also chastises those same shows for exaggerating the technology: "CSI is set in the present day, but demonstrates technology from space year , yet no one thinks its sci-fi. An argument can be the CSI effect exists because television has deluded us into believing that we're smarter than we actually are. Where television once went to Shakespeare and Dickens for historical dramas, and academics for actual science and history, the emergence of "edutainment" is centered more on entertaining the audience than on educating them: "All TV really taught us was to believe what screens said, even when they were lying.
TV's relationship with information has taken fact on a lengthy and unusual journey Our taste for experts shifted from knowledgeable, respectable academics to tit-witted celebrity puppets. The shadow of the Great Recession looms in Brooker's analysis, where he tries to answer the eternal question of "How did we get here? Some of his ideas can be followed like trails into recent politics or social media quandaries.
Some psychologists have argued that television has usurped religion's influence in our lives, and can alter our perceptions of reality. And that is truly the way television ruins our lives.
