The Irony in Twilight Zone's Time Enough at Last

Just when Henry has all the time to read everything he wants, his eye glasses broke. One realization that this episode gave me is life is really ironic. For a lot of times, when we decided to go on for something, we now just can not. 

For 1950s show, Twilight Zone's Time Enough at Last is still good to watch considering the standards of the present times. It was interesting and humorous enough to meet the modern day requirements of television shows. 

If I have to create an update or an adaptation of the show, Henry would be replaced by a typical Metro Manila teen boy who was left alone playing computer games at his laptop. Waking up after the bombing, the boy will come out of his room and realize that he was the only one left. He will be shocked and saddened by the destruction and loss of loved ones. He tries to calm down and looks on the positive note. After some time, he realizes that he has now all the time he needs to enjoy computer games. Just when he is about to start enjoying playing, his laptop goes empty. Here, the irony is still highlighted with emphasis also on the issue of game addiction leading to taking the more important things in life for granted.
