Black Mirror: The National Anthem

Documentary

What is the message of Black Mirror: The National Anthem ?
The message is that new and digital media has had a enormous impact on society and peoples life in general.Due to the fact that people are use to traditional media like the television and newspaper; instant news and instant access to information means that the media and news must update their news hourly and must be keeping up to date, to the minute in order for them to stay in competition with social media such as Twitter and Facebook. The viral of the YouTube clip in the short film, and them taken it down 9 minutes later and still went viral shows the viewers how fast the web is and once something is put on the web, you no longer have control over it due to the vast amount of people on the internet. This again suggests that the Prime Minister and the Government have no power or control over the content that goes on social networking sites or the internet.
