Identify three “implications for theory” that apply to the documentary and explain each of them with a minimum of one paragraph.

In terms of theory, one of the first implications of this documentary concerns the impact that technology could have on the employment market. As automation and artificial intelligent advance, it is becoming increasingly evident that many jobs could be automated or replaced completely by technology. It could result in a reduction of job opportunities, especially for those who are blue-collar or have lower education levels. This would further increase economic inequality.

Second, the digital divide is a concept that relates to those with access to new technologies and those without. In the documentary this was shown by showing that rural residents were often not able to use new platforms and technologies due to their limited access to resources. It can lead to disparities in terms of quality-of-life and economic opportunity, which further widens the existing wealth and income gaps between various segments.

Another implication of the documentary is that data gathering by tech companies can be a source of trust issues and privacy concerns. With more and more data being collected without proper regulation or oversight there is an increased risk that people’s personal information could be used in ways they had not intended or expected, resulting in a lack of trust among consumers towards these companies which could be detrimental for their long term success.
