What is the message of 'Black Mirror: The National Anthem?'
The Black mirror can be said to have many messages but most importantly it shows how society is being debased through the desensitisation of content as there is now less privacy and less censorship therefore the audience are loosing their values, the ability to interact and spread content fast as possible for example on Twitter , it also allows the lack of censorship as once something is on the internet it can instantly get spread virally, thus perhaps we are living in a dystopia due to technology rather than utopia. It also shows the disruptive nature of traditional media as new/ digital media is slowly taking over through the technology of smart phones, interactivity of social networking and the citizen journalism through UGC . Moreover it presents political affairs in a satire way to show the debasing of society who only watched the events that mock people or entertain themselves. It also shows the strong belief that society has on Rolling 24 hour news to present the real news , as internet news could be untrue and false rumours therefore many rely on broadcasting services to present the truth.
