Seeing future in the perspective of labor

After researching more on instant culture and instant gratification it can be seen that these topic are linked with capitalism and consumerism.

Nowadays people who is living in the instant world they buy things and pay for services that make them more convenient and able to put less effort to do something, while when we looking on the opposite side the workers or labor need to get away from their hometown to earn more for their living. They use their hands and skills to created these instant objects for us to use while they might not even have chance to use it. This can show a big gap between two group of people under the world.

So I saw that the topic of capitalism has been popular in the age of pop culture. There are a lot of artists that created works related to this topic. These are some of the artworks that I have seen.
