                   Probably  the  most  famous  film  commenting  on  twentieth-century  tech-neology  is  Modem
             Times, made in 1936. Charlie Chaplin was motivated to make the film  by a reporter who, while
             interviewing him, happened to describe working conditions in industrial Detroit. Chaplin was told
             that health young farm boys were lured to the city to work on automotive assembly lines. Within
             four or five years, these young men's health was destroyed by the stress work in the factories.

             one who has seen the film can ever forget Chaplin vainly trying to keep pace with the fast-moving
             conveyor belt almost losing his mind in the process. Another popular scene involves an automatic
             feeding machine brought to the assembly line so that workers need not interrupt their labor to eat.
             The feeding machine malfunctions, hurling food at Chaplin who is strapped into his position on the
