Emotionally, I am a little sympathetic to Griffin. After leaving university Mr. Griffin was desperately poor. Determined to achieve something of scientific significance, he began to work on an experiment to make people and objects invisible. He performed the experiment using a cat, but when the cat's owner, Griffin's neighbor, realized the cat was missing, she made a complaint to their landlord, and Griffin wound up performing the invisibility procedure on himself to hide from them. He takes a keen interest in his studies, which is rarely seen among university students. The reality is that few of us pay much attention to our academic subjects. I could feel somewhat lonely as he talked much about his experiment, his experience and his plan when he met Kemp. Pitifully, this scientist became clearly insane and was violently assaulted by the workers eventually. The Invisible Man died of the injuries he had received, and his naked battered body slowly became visible on the ground after he dies.
This story leads to my thinking about the advanced technology of present-day society. On the one hand, people the world over have profited enormously from the technology innovations and progressions, in terms of both efficiency and flexibility. Specifically, biotechnology enables factories to produce more effective medicine, and information technology facilitates more rapid communication and cooperation. Furthermore, technology contributes to better utilize the natural resources we have. Obviously, we get a clearer perspective of the nature and better balance between development and environment with technology.
On the other hand, the staggering advancement of technology is always accompanied by disturbing phenomenon. In the first place, technology may breed endless greedless. This is well illustrated with Griffin, who used technology as a tool to make a fortune, even conduct other evil behavior. In the second place, if a scientist does not have a sense of justice and responsibility, misuse will ensure. This scientist is just a case in point, he planed to begin a Reign of Terror, using his invisibility to terrorize the nation with Kemp as his secret confederate.
The invisible man is so popular that it has many adaptations of films and TV series. Maybe it is attributed to the fact the use of technology is such a frequent topic of discussion.
