Last night's episode, made me think just how much we rely on technology.
It starts out with a guy playing a game on his computer. In the middle of his game he loses his internet connection. The scene then switches over to a shooting that was taking place at an internet company called Swift Cast. This shooting resulted in a city-wide blackout.
In the episode, Gibbs, Tony, McGee, Ziva, Abby, and Ducky, investigate the death of a Lieutenant killed during the shooting. There was only one problem, the blackout left them without the use of technology. This caused them to do everything in the investigation by hand. For example, Abby had to do her forensic analysis without her mass-spectrometer, or any other technology.
I liked seeing how the team functioned without the technology they normally use. I especially liked the part where McGee made the reference to using search engines. I am always on my computer, and without it I don't know where I would be.
Even without the technology they normally use the case was solved, and in the end of the episode the power was restored.

I liked that they had to do stuff without technology for once.
ReplyDeleteI think as a society we tend to depend on technology to much these days - as a society in general, we don't learn how to do things "the hard way" anymore, ok not everyone but a lot of people. ;o)
For instance, do you know how to use a polaroid camera? :o) I do ... they're actually pretty cool.
