Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Is the world enlightened or exploited by the age of the World Wide Web ? Is the “cloud” just another cloud of unknowing? Until recently, it was possible to see virtual reality as an endless sea where you go for a swim and then return to the mainland of your everyday life. But what happens when life begins to take place in the online world of social networking, videos and computer games? In Real Life asks what exactly is the internet and what is it doing to children of Generation Z? Taking us on a journey from the bedrooms of British teenagers to the world of Silicon Valley, the film suggests that rather than the promise of free and open connectivity, young people are increasingly ensnared in a commercial world. Beguiling and glittering on the outside, it can be alienating and addictive. Quietly building its case, In Real Life asks whether we can afford to stand by while children, trapped in their 24/7 connectivity, are being outsourced to the net.
