The robotization of humans in Chaplin's films.In fact, not only blue-collar workers may be mechanized, but many white-collar workers are also facing doom.White-collar workers under general standards are usually under the monitoring of electronic eyes. In the office area like a large workshop, they are located in the lattice posts of the low partitions. They are like fixed plug-ins on the assembly board. Once plugged in, they will be activated in an emergency. For the company's profits Pentium.Eyes, cervical spine, lumbar spine, heart, autonomic nerves, etc. are the organs most likely to wear and tear.One of my nieces is such a white-collar worker.When she entered the company, she was also told that the mobile phone must be turned on 24 hours a day, and it is at the disposal of the boss at any time.

Farmers in the countryside have more freedom, and the monotony and rigidity of labor methods can be avoided to a large extent.It goes without saying that the air in the countryside is fresh, and it goes without saying that the environment is beautiful.The object and content of labor are often changeable. Farming today, fishing tomorrow, driving horses or picking tea the day after tomorrow are by no means limited to a single process.Even when it comes to farming, sowing, weeding, insecticide, branching, pollination, irrigation, harvesting, etc., it is never restricted to one posture, one movement, or one focus.From the perspective of physiology and health care, this is of course conducive to the coordinated movement and comprehensive exercise of the limbs and five sense organs.When I was an educated youth, I also participated in drought relief.At that time, the hand-operated water wheel was similar to a stretcher, and the pedal water wheel was similar to a running machine, and the modern gym was built on the top of the field.Once people get up on the waterwheel, turn pedaling into running, and turn into flying, there will be dazzling pedal hammers and high splashes of water.A savage whistling is thrown out, and there may be a whistling of a car and a man in the distance throwing it back.Throw out a provocative folk song, and there may be folk songs from cars and people in the distance - labor and entertainment are mixed here, not only turning the field into a gym, but also a nightclub.

The splashing trough shallows the water in the mud pit, and big fish and small turtles may show their heads.We searched for some firewood in the field, stole a few scallions, dug up two pieces of ginger, and found oil and salt. The fun and deliciousness of on-site cooking will never be missing.If at night, under the dim moonlight, the younger generations take off all their clothes and enjoy the coolness naked, their crotch will be strangely comfortable and open, and there will be a few pieces of white flesh looming, making those who are not happy also happy, and those who don’t People are also waves, and celestial art is intoxicating.

When the women hear this kind of laughter, they will hide away. Sometimes they will put the food delivered at the intersection, shout and curse, and ask you to pick it up yourself. I have lingering fears about the excessive poverty in the countryside, but I still remember the way of labor there.I also believe that the joy of labor can be detached from poverty-at some time in the future, when it will be considered happy and dignified to work hard.After I came back to the countryside, I saw diesel engines pumping water and electric motors pumping water, but the keel waterwheels were no longer seen.What's wrong with that?Maybe that's fine.I'm glad farmers have more ease and efficiency.I even have to congratulate a cruel classical beauty that is finally gone.

But I still can't help leaving a trace of regret: one day agriculture will become industry, and one day farmers will enter dull office buildings in suits and leather shoes. Where else can I go to hear whistling and folk songs, and moonlight Carnival?
