"Twilight Zone": Time Enough at Last (1959)

A Reaction paper to Twilight Zone Season 1 Episode 8 - Time Enough at Last

2013-17819

              This particular episode of the series "Twilight Zone" with the title "Enough Time at Last" was inspired by the nuclear bomb threats trending during the time the film was released. The episode featured a bookworm who never had time to do the thing he loved the most: reading. But when he survived a nuclear bomb explosion, he suddenly had all the time in the world to read.

I think, if this film were to be adapted today, the catastrophic event that will ensue would not be as physical as a nuclear bomb. I was thinking of a more virtual event. All people, children and adults alike, spend more time on the internet than they think. They post all kinds of things on social networking sites from the food they eat, where they are at that very instant, their pictures at different times of the day, you name it! Every activity a person engages in is sure to be found on his profile.Because of this information overload, it would be easy to find a person's personal information. Other people can track someone down so easily, and they can even find his weaknesses at a click of a button. This can slowly be the next catastrophic event if people don't watch what they post.
