I feel like the way most of the people completely rely on the Machine to survive symbolizes how we can become if we get too engrossed into technology. I think that if people go too deep, they won’t be able to come back out. There are minor cases of that happening already if you think about it. Shut-ins that stay in their house all day, do nothing productive, and stay on the computer or playing games.
