Modern times and Braverman

When watching the Modern Times video its easy to understand what that particular company wants, and since this piece sums up the corporate world one could say this video represents our economy, right? In my opinion the video is harsh on what Braverman points out as the fundamental principle of capitalism, that is division of labor. If work were like this then I honestly do not know what could be worse. If the boy cannot get his work done the head guy who sits in his desk chair in a big office orders the production line to go faster which creates bad tweaks in a percentage of the products. One might could argue that this reason leads to the extremely short product life expectancy. Also the production line and division of labor takes away from creativeness, sanity, and overall happiness in my opinion.

Doing one particular thing on that production line would get very old, very fast in which is visible to us through the boy worker. He tries to escape to get a break but cannot because of the employee monotoring. What is very important in my viewing of the video is how one person sits up in an office chair giving commands while doing nothing but devising plans of how to increase production. One of his plans was creating a machine that allowed workers to eat at their station so there is no need for lunch breaks. This exploiting of the poor should be monitored in some form of fashion because it seems extremely unfair to have what our economy would call a 'credited' person sit in an office while the workers under him make his company and him all the money.
