Since the evolution of technology, our obsession with screens has increased by many folds. In today’s world, most of us do not read physical newspapers or write our notes on physical paper. Instead, we have devices with screens like the pocket-sized smartphones or tablets like the iPad. Now, although this is our reality, it was just imaginative sci-fiction back in the 1940s. However, netizens have now found a clip of a 1947 French film that shows the addiction of humans to digital screens.
This is one extraordinarily accurate prediction in a work of science fiction. This seldom ever happens. I’m amazed that I hadn’t seen it before today. https://t.co/Zbwe0xKn0E
The clip (below) in question is from a French film, “Télévision: Oeil de Demain”, which roughly translates to “Television: Eye of Tomorrow”. It is directed by a French film-maker, J.K Raymond Millet.
Now, although it shows the scenario of the 21st century, it released way back in the 20th century and is an adaptation of an essay written by famous French journalist and author, René Barjavel.
