Video Clip on WALL-E & Lazy Economy
Clip 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pugva5H71QQ&feature=related
Clip 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKRPVJ0kmxI&feature=related
The movie "WALL-E" is a cautionary movie in many ways. It warns us of how earth can become an uninhabitable place and full of rubbish if we do not take care and protect it. In this clip, it also shows how technology is so efficient and convenient that it can have a crippling (instead of enabling) effect on us.
Relate to issues on our destructive consumerist ways and the effect of technology on us. Think also about the function of movies. Are they merely for entertainment? What about movies like Avatar, We Not Naughty?

Consider also this article on 'lazy economy', a result of how the convenience of technology has 'crippled' us and made us lazy:
Qn: 'Science and technology have shaped us to be what we are today.' Do you agree? (IJC Prelim 2010)
To what extent has techonology had a negative impact on the skill level of people? (Cambridge 'A' level 2010))
