technopoly

            In Neil Postman's Technopoly chapter he describes how humans labor and thought is based on

efficienty in a way where it realtes to brave new world where the D.H.C expects everything to go as efficient

as they have planned. Putting some what sence that people now and days are becoming to reliable on the

technology and the level in which people now and days expected to be all about the world in which tecnology

is becoming the prime need in our society. Where as Kurzweil belives that this is okay because this is now

more of a lifestyle that we are all becoming more acostame and its our future. Neil may agree with Kurzweil

because we are making an improvement in what we do and the way we do as In Brave New World where

everything is more proper and able to control what ever they do. He still critizises that because making more

technology increases the risk of given other people or countries in formation about them and being more

vurnable with the technology. As in Brave New World Bernard begins to find out things because he is so

involved in the D.H.C. and begins to learn that most things are all lies in order to cover for those lies in the

past.

moises post

                    Is technology becoming more of  us as bernard in Brave new worldexplained in chapter six to

my consideration i think that technology for the most part of all of its very important. I would say that we are

merging technology because most of the things that we deal with have technology that operate it or have to

technology in order to function well. Onother reason i say why we are merging together is the simple reason

we can no longer live without technology because with it we xcan do many things making it hard to make or

create things without the technology. I think in a way its not bad for us because it makes us creative in the

way that we want to create better things beacuse the technology that we already have allows us to be able to

do this. As in just looking at phone companies who are trying always to create the better phone and making

the competition higher so in a way competition for us is good for us. But i also believe that technology is bad

for us because we are way to dependent now and days in technology where we have to turn to technology

for our answer. Just as in The man becomes immortal talks about Kurzweil who is like a technology god who

said or "believes that were approaching a moment when computers will become more intelligent, and not just

intelligent but more intelligent than humans." So in a way i can say this can happen because now we need

technology to tell us what to do in order to function something. We can say this is making us less authentically

human because in reality we must now and days rely on technology and computers and not like the old days

were everything was manually, so Kurweil is right technology at one point be smarter than humans. As

bernard thinks we are danger of losing our essentials as technology processes.
