Intro

With the introduction of many technological innovations such as automobiles and frozen food, ways of life became more convenient. People began to believe that technology would move humanity forward indefinitely and help us eventually achieve perfection. However, as the twentieth century approached and the advent of modernized weapons enabled mass killings, people began to question whether technology was necessarily helpful to humanity. War became even more devastating with these advancements, and people began to express their skepticism of war and technology through works such as Otto Dix’s “Wounded Soldier”, Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 and Godfrey Reggio’s Naqoyqatsi.
