In Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times, it was blatent that technological times were not nearly as advanced a\s one may assume. Especially knowing the technologies we have in our times, taking a look back with as little as they had is quite an eye-opener in itself. Watching the tramp struggle with the technologies in his many jobs, in his many visitations in the jail, and with his associations with the woman, it was clear that he had a difficult time adjusting.
Assuming that we are at our technological peak, currently, it's always interesting to see how times can and have changed our everyday lives. From cell phones to internet to cell phones that have internet, there is a world of technological advancement that we have yet to discover. Realizing this, we can begin to hopefully appreciate the technologies we currently have, because I am sure, in 50 years we will see a film based on today and wonder how anyone could have ever survived. Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times teaches to appreciate and live inthe age you're in. Technologies wll always advance and always be more than they were when started. It's imperative to dwell in those moments and live them to the fullest.
