Mr. Winkle Wakes

Mr. Winkle should have stayed asleep for another 20 yrs and then the new world would really blow his mind. This film was a very nice piece of psychological profiling. There are many people, young and older, who would prefer that all this tech not be here. Just consider that at one time multitasking was the new way to work. Then with studies done on work efficiency, it was shown that multitasking was not as efficient as everyone thought. So we go back to the old school of work, pay attention to only two things at once and get the job done. There has been a considerable amount of change in the work force and in teaching. Anyone with access to a computer can look up just about any piece of information they want, and to this ole guy, that is amazing.
I feel sort of like Mr. Winkle, not that I do not want all this technology, but someone thrown into a world where all these machines are suddenly here could be quite intimidating. Now me, having lived in a world that has changed so drastically has been quite the thrill ride. Now that I think about it, the only people I know who do not know how to use a computer are all older than me. Mr. Winkle has decided to not get involved with all the newfangled machines. But these machines have definitely changed the world and the people in it. You can decided not to participate, but sooner or later you're going to have to try it.
