Did Ready Player One Teach You the Ups and Downs of Technology?
Playing virtual reality simulation games is an excellent way to escape the world and get a chance to create your ideal character. Like our favorite characters in Ready Player One, many teenagers are into these forms of media and entertainment. But, as they say, too much of anything can’t be good, which is precisely what the characters realized.
In recent years, technology has been taking over the world. Yes, they can make our lives easier and things more convenient. However, we tend to get consumed by these gadgets—in the end, isolating ourselves from the real world.
We get so caught up in social media, our games, and different videos that we just disconnect from the people around us. What’s worse is that we try to relive what we see online—even though some of those influences may not be good.
Ready Player One shows us that to have a happy life, we need to learn how to balance both our virtual and real-life activities. It is true that technological gadgets are beneficial, but don’t let them make you their prisoner. With that, we hope that Ready Player One was able to teach you a thing or two to make your life better—with or without gadgets.
