=== Room for thoughts… ===

  * What is the moral of the story?
  * Looking at the //futuristic dystopia//  that Metropolis describes, what is your outline of futuristic dystopia? How do you see your future? How do you see our/the worlds technological progress?
  *   About the specific set design: How are the differences between the establishment and the working class thematized? Which similarities do you see?
  * How did the future look like two years ago? ⇒ [[https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/01/a-brief-guide-to-the-technologies-changing-world/|The 7 technologies changing your world]] (World Economic Forum)
  * Technological Progress: [[https://ourworldindata.org/technological-progress|Our World in data]]

You can read the foreword //Futures That Never Arrived// by Bruce McCall [[https://www.amazon.com/Future-Perfect-Vintage-Futuristic-Graphics/dp/3822815667|here]].

  * A future that never has arrived? Do you think the presence of //futuristic//  machine drawings like the ones you can find in the above links played any role for the development of todays existing machines?
  * What is todays equivalent of those futuristic graphics?
  * Is there a difference between //science//  and //science fiction//?
  * Take a look into the mirror. Which machines control your life? What do you think about that? Are there ways to change things?
