WHEN TECHNOLOGY IS TOO MUCH

DESCRIPTION:

-This video is structured around two main narrative voices and a character illustrating what the voice-over says while a singer often simply repeats what's just been said.
-The setting is a christian home and church, so this particular context is particularly meaningful. We can notice on various occasions that the main character is addicted to high-tech products, mostly smartphones.
-He is show as a family man unable to interact with his wife, except through texting. He is also shown as a church-goer incapable of attending worship without all his phones vibrating all the time, making him look like he's full of the holy spirit.
- Finally, he is deputed as a computer geek whose life has become extremely complicates instead of having been simplified.

INTERPRETATION:
-Basically, this video means that high technology has become a religion for many people, even Christians who are not supposed to be materialistic.
-Then, in a Christian lifestyle, quite a few church-goers and believers tend to focus more on a materialistic issues than spiritual ones.
-We can add that technology reigns supreme for many people who venerate it as a God enlightening his followers.
  The question is....is the real progress for humanity ?
