Wall-E, the Future Human-Computer Interaction

WALL-E, I know this movie is already outdated and I believe that you have watched this movie and still remember the whole plot of the story.

If so, then maybe you are questioning why I’m wasting my time writing a review of the movie that all the people already know. Then, hold on, I won’t talking about the story of the movie itself, but I want to take you to another point of view from this movie, have you ever think an answer for this question, “is WALL-E movie will become a reality?” let’s try to figure out the answer of this question through this blog!! Happy reading, cheers.

First, let’s flash back for the main story of this movie. The movie tells us that in the future this planet earth will be so dirty, trash everywhere and anywhere because human doesn’t care anymore. Knowing this they suddenly realize that earth is not feasible anymore for human to live. Thanks to sophisticated technology that human made, they build a spaceship which can accommodate entire people in the world. Human migrating from earth to this spaceship and planning to live in the outer space and will come back to earth when the planet clean again. They abandoned the earth and left a cleaning robot to clean every pieces of trash in this planet. However the human seems forgot to come back to earth and live in the spaceship for centuries to the extent that their offspring didn’t know that planet earth exist.

Now, let’s ignored the main character WALL-E, let’s see what the human doing while in the spaceship. Yes, they are sitting in the mobile chair, and facing the big computer screen for all of their life, yes, FOR ALL OF THEIR LIFE. The human even never use their feet anymore to walk, because of that mobile chair, we even can see in several part of this movie when some people ejected from their chair, they just rolling in the floor and can’t even sit down, THEY EVEN CAN’T LIFT THEIR BODY. If you understand what I’m saying then you will realize that it will be horrible, people never use their body anymore, they even forgot how to use it, and because of lack of movement they suffer from obesity, THEY ALL FAT!!

Now, if we see in reality, is our technology able to make the mobile chair like that? Yes, our technology possible to make things like that. Then there will be another question, “is our life will be like that?” this is the hard question to answer, some say yes, and some say no. My information system lecturer have say this words before, “the technology will continue to grow and we can’t stop it, but our nature will never change, the needs to eat by our hand, the needs to walk by our feet, the needs to sports, to see through our own eyes”, If we see that statement then the possibility of we undergo the WALL-E live will be impossible.

Regardless of possible or impossible to live the WALL-E life, the only thing we should do is we always have to aware that computer is made to help our needs, not to enslave us to use it that we can die if we can’t reach a computer. By realize something like this then we will use the computer wisely, not too much, but enough to help us solving our problem, then we can see a bright future with technology as our friend.
