Conclusion to Sleep Dealer

In conclusion, digital labor is becoming a form of machinery to humans. It is diminishing the human value and the emotions of the human mind and body through machinery. Sleep Dealer was the prime example of digital labor because it showed the viewer what harmful ways labor has given mankind. The body is not longer in control of itself because of nodes and the mind is lost in the contraption of virtual reality. Seeing as virtual reality has given new life to humans and work, digital labor is the new wave, and no one is able to stop it. The human mind is going to be under attack of robotic beings because of the use of labor in other forms to accomplish more work than what the actual man can do nowadays. Nodes are the commodity fetish that led to humanity being taken over by robots to do more labor for the United States. In Sleep Dealer, men and women have nodes to connect to a virtual reality and are treated like machines. Money has become a high value of society due to the amount people out of jobs, and this film is a prime example of doing labor of any kind just to pay the bills. No matter the cost of human life, mankind is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy their humanity for technology.
