Abstract


Technology has big impacts on human life. The impacts may be positive and negative. It can make our lives easier, connect with more people quickly and communicate quickly and easily. However, in some cases, the use of technology can distance people from their relationships. This study focuses on analyzing a movie entitled Ron’s Gone Wrong, especially on the impact of technology on human life, as seen from the characters in the movie. The technology found in the movie is B-bots, robots which are programmed as assistants of the children in the movie, and the impact of the B-bots on the lives of the characters in the movie. The study explores the answers to the questions of how the negative impact of technology on human relationships is depicted in Ron’s Gone Wrong movie. A psychological approach was used to understand and analyze the character’s behavior when using technology. The theory used in this study was the media ecology theory by Marshall McLuhan (1964). Based on the analysis, there are two negative impacts of technology on human relationships in Ron’s Gone Wrong movie. First, dependency on technology. In this case, people tend to rely on their B-Bot to make friends, communicate with friends, find community, and decide something. The second is bullying behavior found in Ron’s Gone Wrong movie, namely verbal bullying, social bullying, and cyberbullying.

Keywords: impact of technology, B-bots, human relationships, dependency on technology
