Video: The reaction of the man to technology after 44 years in prison

Otis Johnson was released from prison after being imprisoned for 44 years for assaulting and trying to kill a police officer. He began to receive a penalty when he was 25 years old, until he was 69 years old to be released. Outside the bars, he quickly realized that the world had completely changed, a world very different from the last time he saw it in the late 1960s. In an interview with Al Jazeera (popular TV channel) of Qatar, Johnson visited the Times Square in New York City (USA), where he was surprised and confused by the siege of modern technology.

Responding to the technology of a person detained in prison for 44 years

"I noticed that most people were talking to themselves. After that, I took a closer look and saw that something seemed to be stuffed in their ears, connected to a device. I didn't know what it was . electricity. phone . iPhone, that's how they call it, or something like that, I think it seems like everyone has become a CIA employee or an organization with equipment like Because that's the only thing I can think of, a person walking with a bunch of wires in their ears . That's what they had when I was separated from the outside world from the 60s. - 70 '.

Outside the bars, he quickly realized the world had completely changed.

Johnson pays special attention to how people walk on the street: "I am trying to figure out how people can control themselves while walking while talking on the phone without seeing where they will go" , he said. "It was really great for me." For Johnson, public phone booths are now probably being forgotten: 'I remember the first day I was out. I plan to make a call and see the words for $ 1. Later I discovered that no one seemed to use them anymore. ' In addition, food in supermarkets has been much different from nearly half a century ago.

At the end of the video that was over six minutes long, Johnson shared something that seemed quite appealing, what the man had experienced after all these years of prison: "You know, you have to ignore everything." Keeping angry will only slow down the development of your life . Everything that happens has a cause, I believe so. So, I think let's keep going to the future instead of turning my head to the past. I try to move on, not vice versa, and that's how I live. '
