Right. People have seemed to completely divorce their work life from their personal life, and while I think there is a positive side of it, it seems completely sterile and unnatural.
It kind of reminds me of the way the Internet has pulled people apart from having personal relationships with each other.
I can’t put my finger on it. But I don’t like it. It kind of reminds me in a way of Orwell’s “1984” where people left work and immediately went back to their flat. To watch their Telescreen.
You're remembering Orwell incorrectly.
Aside from strictly regimented 15-minute exercise programs in the morning and endless, boring propaganda broadcasts about the latest "victories" on distant fronts that may have been totally faked, the telescreens provided no engaging "entertainment" - nothing that people with a shred of individuality, insight, or humanity would watch unless they were forced.
The main function of the telescreens was not to be watched, but rather to monitor the populace.
