They understand that one day they will die, because we are humans, and that’s just the life cycle. So they believe even though we will die technology will live on forever. Since technology is forever they are willing to give up what makes them human to help advance technology. While other people could care less about technology and the good benefits.

I say this because, we as American get an inch and want a mile. Which means we are never satisfied with anything. So yes, there are going to be people who are perfectly fine with the amount of technology that we have. While others just want bigger and better things. So the problem in the movie is Will believe there should be more technology, while Max is trying to figure out if more technology is a good thing. So their point was to prove that we love technology so much that we’re blind to what really could happen. We just want more but when we get more, we wouldn’t know what to do. So they showed how it’s no way possible to have a computer with self- awareness that is beneficial to people. It also showed the struggle of not having any technology. A lot of people just carry their debt cards so when Max caused a black-out, many people didn’t have cash so they couldn’t afford anything they were all broke. It was almost like the world we lived in wasn’t the same world

    Transcendentalism is an idealistic philosophical and social movement that developed in New England around 1836 in reaction to rationalism and romanticism. This philosophy taught that all people have knowledge about themselves and the world around them that "transcends" or goes beyond what they can see, hear, taste, touch or feel.  To achieve this one must transcend and go beyond everyday human experiences in the physical world. Transcendentalism dwells on the importance of emotion, individualism, and nature, and these beliefs are still used today in pop culture.

    ...e by God to merge all things in the world. This can only be realized when a person becomes a part of nature and see the message that everyone comes from god. A metaphor from “Self Reliance” is “Trust thyself: Every heart vibrates to that iron string” (Emerson 225). What this quote is trying to say is if you trust yourself then you can truly be content in whatever you do or wherever you go. The last metaphor is in Thoreau’s work called “from Walden, or Life in the Woods.” The quote states, “I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains” (Thoreau 243). The comparison is Thoreau’s imaginative, fresh way of saying he doesn’t want to be safe and comfortable. He wants adventure. These are just some metaphors found in Emerson’s writing and Thoreau’s writing.

    ... has the potential to destroy a civilization at the peak of its success or create a new one from the ground up. Without proper direction given by the controllers of technology, things can quickly spiral down in a direction that does not benefit anyone. In Brave New World, technology was used to create a utopia where people prospered but in 2001 A Space Odyssey, technology nearly brought on a nuclear holocaust. Technology does not take sides in a fight, it is merely a tool used by man to better himself and those around him. Technology is not corrupt or immaculate; its role is determined by its user, the human race.

    In this book, Forster is able to portray a reality that could become true if we, human beings, keep depending on technology for survival. Although it is very distressing that people became dependable to the Machine to the extent where they loose their humanity and become like a machine as well, with no mind of their own.

  • Analysis Of Neal Stephenson's 'Snow Crash'

    1514 Words  | 4 Pages

    Maybe Stephenson was also trying to tell us something about the use of technology and how it can also have negative effects. Today, technology is getting stronger and smarter every day. Someone who can manipulate the power of technologies and abuse it can be a threat to society and many innocent people. “Snow Crash” was the name of the drug in the book, which transmitted computer virus that was able to infect the computer systems of unknown hackers. It also transmitted a disease to the user in real life outside of Metaverse, and affected their central nervous system. It’s not possible that this sort of thing can happen to us, but it does show signs of the negative uses of technology. The closest thing I can imagine, is a cyber-thief or a hacker in real life, stealing personal data of someone else. That personal data can turn out to be credit card information, which than the thief can use to purchase things in real life and externally hurt the victim. It may not be bad as a disease, but the person can have a financial loss. We also get to see Ng, who is a Vietnamese security contractor. Ng, unlike others, is almost like a cyborg. With technology associated with his human body, he is half-robot, half-human. We are pretty far from making cyborgs, but you never know if this prediction can also come true. It’s crazy to think that Neal Stephenson had predicted most of the
