The Mobile Phone Connects Us To and Disconnects Us From Society

A woman using a smartphone.

The mobile phone has brought both positivity and negativity into our lives. It is the double-edged sword that resides in our pockets at all times.

BLACK MIRROR

Black Mirror is a British science fiction television anthology series set in the near future that explores the potentially dark consequences of technology and social media. Recognizing its potential for the discussion of modern and future media, some colleges and universities across the country have incorporated “Black Mirror” into their journalism and communications classes. This site is a fan site, and it is not affiliated with the television show “Black Mirror.” It’s just creatively inspired by it.
