  1. answers to questions

    rta / do not understand the truth but wonder as I assume that machines can replace humans, I think so because in these times the human labor is running out and time is replaced by robots with intelligence but if capacity easier to do and tomorrow we could be living among self-sufficient robots and machines.

    rta / if it is very possible as the human being has a limit on their intelligence and creations and at this rate I see very closely the possibility of having technology in society and more as an essential part of life and the decisions of the humans.

    rta / 10 hours I think those are working in shift workers and therefore not counted 12 that was changed every 10 hours so they could turn descanzar day's work.

    1st Question:

    In the movie is traffic the topic of "androids" so critical way. Is as we have watching our future. The tecnology plays a important role in which the time tell that all.

    2nd Question
    The technocracy is in our society; in the education in the health and in generally in many fields of the society, however a technocratic society is an impossible. The system was design so that some control at the persons.

    3erd Question
    In the movie, ten hours was the time of work. Given the conditions of workers of the machine was necesary control with is time the worker so that their time is consumed in greater at the work. So had a better chance to be a workaholic.

  5. Questions about the movie:
    1. Do you think that humans can replace humans at all?
    Answer:
    theacher. I can't understand the question but if you said the machine can replace the humans I think that no. Because the machine ever need a humans for his operation.

    2. It is possible a technocracy?
    Answer:
    I think that yes. Because before, we didn't use much the machines, but now every day we have to use the different machines for different reasons; for cooking, for transport, for the communication and other needs.

    3. Why the clock mark 10 hours instead of 12?
    Answer:
    It's the time of working the people. The time at change of turn by every one employee.

  6. 1. I think that the human beings can be replaced up to certain level in industrial aspects since they can realize activities, actions and repetitive exercises. But the machines it does not have intelligence, not even emotions. The machines needs from a man in order that it handles or repairs it. It is not necessary to forget that the machine was created by the man as one more tool to facilitate the life.
    2. I think that The Technocracy is possible because, it is a political change that the world needs and because it is possibly one of the most powerful alternatives nowadays to assure the well-being of a State, since exactly this it is his purpose in last instance.
    3. Because the clock marks the shifts that are 10 hours

  7. 1. Do you think that humans can replace humans at all?
    I think machines can replace just some of the things or actions that human beings do but not at all cause they are just machines created by humans so they always need the help of some humans to work and do what we want they to do so I think that is something impossible cause nothing can be more perfect than human beings.

    2. It is possible a technocracy?
    Yes that could be possible cause the use of machines and new technologies is increasing and we as humans are more lazy than before because many of the things that people used to do handmade now is machine’s job that’s why is now something essential for human beings lives.

    3. Why the clock mark 10 hours instead of 12?
    Because is the time that employees have to work and every ten hours they change their shifts.

    Thanks

  11. RTA: 1
    It is utopian to say that humans can replace humans, the film refers to the two classes. As are the working class and administrative class. In conclusion the only way of substitution in metropolis is the role reversal, ie the managerial class become part of working to make this not be treated like a slave that was what raised the film.

    RTA: 2
    As staff say that technocracy is already in society, let's see it in reference to earlier ages, the world (society) has been administered by technocratic ie experts in various subjects that I say here is consumerism and materialism. In conclusion technocracy is not possible but real.

    RTA: 3
    As for the clock strikes 10 hours is only the working class that works every time that intensity that marked the 10 hours the worker changed and rested 2 to complete the 12 and returned to start their working hours.

  12. rta: humans are not replaceable as everyone is different we are all different and have the equal rights to live healthily

    rta: a technocracy would be viable if this knowledge is applied for the good of society without forsaking anyone

    rta:mark 10 hours because this is the hours of work of the working class

  14. Hi teacher
    I'm Daniel Roa Jimenez
    Do you think that humans can replace humans at all?
    I think it wont happen because the machines need us for its gas or power but I think in far future the story could change like Matrix movie.
    It is possible a technocracy?
    I guess the real world is controled of technology and the future this situation will be worse because we will be more dependent of stuff technology.
