Many in the comments were criticizing Black Mirror for being unrealistic. Especially in Black Mirror’s assumption that negative technologies would be introduced into society and ruin people without folks realizing.
Well…Snapchat is basically a Black Mirror story. It was introduced and became widespread without much debate. The negative effects are happening. We know of them. Nothing happens. So the Black Mirror criticizers were wrong.
“You best start believing in Black Mirror stories Mrs Turner. You’re in one!”
And so are the rest of us. Look around you and tell me the world isn’t a Black Mirror episode.
