We often separate science and technology from art as if they never influenced on one another; maybe we keep forgetting that artists are humans who are also affected by such phenomena. We can get a clearer portrait of the influence of science and technology in art on films, I think that's when it comes obvious that something has changed, tut painters, poets, musicians, even dancers respond to what is happening in the world. A great example to explain this are the railroads: Soon after their success, painters like J.M.W Turner responded with beautiful paintings with the trains as their main character; poets like Jones Very and Emily Dickinson started writing about them; films started showing railroads on movies, even made them a crucial part of the story; even photographers were devoted them!
Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times is a great example on how the industrialization, science and technology affect arts too:
