Black Mirror is a TV show that examines how emerging technologies could negatively impact society if developed and used in harmful ways. Each episode presents a different scenario where a new technology intended to improve lives instead makes things worse due to unintended consequences or how the technology is misused. The show aims to show how small decisions can spiral into dark outcomes when enabled by technologies that get embedded into everyday life like phones, TVs, and smart watches. It serves as a warning about prioritizing ethics as technologies increasingly shape human behavior and interactions.

In the modern world, everything has to do about technology
and technological advancement, that’s why every task in our daily lives have improved making them easier in every way, things as simple as keeping the track of time have become one of the easiest things to do, or if we go further than that, the way we communicate right know would have been unthinkable in the early civilizations.
We are able to live different worlds by either being a part of
them or just watching them unfold in front of our eyes, also, we can communicate with people from all around the world, it can be our family or our friends and even make new friends without even seeing them first.
That’s what Black mirror uses to its advantage. The show is
the literal representation of the Black Mirrors we use in our everyday lives (phones, television and smart watches), the show uses this screens to present a situation that could happen in the near future, and always takes into account how the main character of that situation would react to the decisions he/she would have to make, almost always in the worst way.
In my opinion, the main point of this show is to prove how
some kind of technology can be presented as the best thing invented, but they add a twist, what if this type of technology is used in THIS way?, it usually involves turning this situation to a dark and horrible outcome not just for the sake of it, but based on the decisions the main protagonist make and how its behavior can transform this situation. In conclusion, Black Mirror is a television show that represents human beings in their primary state, a selfish and self-preserved being that can only think in how a situation can be the best for he/she, but no matter what they do, what goes around, comes around.
