What is Black Mirror saying about technology?
Of course Black Mirror sees technology as flawed and imperfect (what with the cyborg Ash not representing real Ash, them being addictive, etc.) but many times it shows it's beauty and advancement, like the drawing board that Martha uses. I think that in this sense, Black Mirror acknowledges the beauty of advanced technology, but also shows it's downfall in the sense that it cannot truly replace the elegant yet imperfect design of a human being.

I agree about Black Mirror's statement that technology it's unable to emulate humanity. It shows the viewer how beautiful technology can be but how it can never be human. It support's Never Let me Go's message about humanity. The clones are able to form their own memories and work out their own identity. The robot cannot do that and it shows it's inhumanity.
