Response to EM Foster- Manal Masood

This narration focuses on the people’s dependence on the Machine. These people have been so used to living in the machine that they have lost their desire to explore the world as it is. All these people accept whatever the Machine tells them to do or to not do, showing how people have lost their humanity to this Machine. To a certain extent, I wouldn’t be surprised if this story is a prediction of the future. Even now, we’re so consumed by the use of smartphones that at times even we unwillingly choose to ignore the world. Our opinions and information on many topics are also build by what we see online in the media. Many people blindly believe what the media chooses to show them. It’s almost as if the Machine is an exaggerated depiction of technology in today’s age.
