Heckno Techno

In this article I read written by Neil Postman, takes on a whole new perspective to look at life from. The article discusses the differences between technocracy and Technopoly and how they relate into our studies of our world future. In the life of a technocracy state of mind people are pretty free to do and wish to believe, from religion to occupation this society is most common to our interpretation of a market economy. With people freely open and up to them to work the market how they chose cause tension and competition amongst other business. As where a Technopoly is quite the opposite in most terms it is referred to in postman writing as “totalitarian technocracy.” This society is very controlling and unlike technocracy you are without the freedoms and beliefs you wish which relates most to brave new worlds outtake on society and the ways in which they incorporate levels of class through an almost dictatorship and brainwash. Frederick Taylor looks at the idea of Technopoly state of society as advancement to the world and especially America. For he speaks that “Americans were better prepared to undertake the creation of a Technopoly than anyone else…less visible and therefore less well known.” In where he understand that it is a toss up no one really knows where society in America is heading but as signs show he is leaning towards the Technopoly side and the success of technology to overrule our world. My opinion on this situation is seeing from a different angle more from the traditional side of things you need certain basic things to survive and if people want to live longer and be healthy more look back on the world before us back in biblical times when people lived to be 500 years old just think about it they and healthy fresh crops and vegetables to eat where we have fast food, soda, and candy right at our finger tips. Im just saying as technology advances more and more people die quicker its like we are thinking to hard and to advanced and I believe to fix all our problems is to look back at the basic of life and live like we as humans are meant to live not as robots but humans.
