Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected WorldWerner Herzog
We are completely dependent on it, but we no longer realize how exceptional the Internet is. Documentary filmmaker Werner Herzog calls it "one of the greatest revolutions that we have experienced as human beings." It also has its downsides, such as Internet addiction and cyber bullying.
We all use it every day and depend on it, without really realizing it. But we rarely take a step back to look at the endless connections and the somewhat eerie omnipotence of the Internet. In this documentary, German filmmaker Werner Herzog explores our ever-expanding Internet connectivity.
In this documentary, Herzog talks to many different people ranging from pioneers of the technology world - like Elon Musk, Bob Kahn and Sebastian Thrun - to victims of radiation from wireless networks or cyberbullying. This combination crewates a very complex and contrasting portrait of our modern connected society. It shows how important and necessary technological progress is, but "Lo and Behold” also reveals its heavy toll.
