Intruding through the schematization of media: The challenge of black mirror

Abstract

Undoubtedly, Science and Technology have solved a lot of problems we face in our daily lives. Science and Technology even have made some aspects of our lives more convenient such as communication, travel, research work, education, and finding cures for diseases. However, the same convenience that we enjoy have also turned against us. We as humans, on the pretense of being in control of technology, have become controlled by the same things we intended to master. This paper shall delve on the catastrophic consequences of technology on humanity by using Black Mirror, a British television program vis a vis Max Horkheimer’s essay on Enlightenment and Mass Deception to analyze our self-made imprisonment.
