Technology In Brave New World

From tools to applications, it is certain that technology has rapidly bombarded the United States. It is easy to notice the many benefits of technology; however, the use of technological advancements can also display a negative result in society. In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, he uses the role of technology to expose the governmental control that the technological era can have, and also how it can ruin lives of many. Society Huxley’s novel much truth and wisdom to the fact that the use of too much technology can, indeed, cause humans to lose the power of humanity. With the use of an utopian society as the setting, Brave New World, nonetheless, describes the total domination of the technological processes that are brought forth in the novel,

Though at this moment in time, society has yet to come to Huxley’s worst, it is certain that he is on the brink of making his novel a scary reality. In the novel, the people assume that the use of technology will give strength to the world’s developments and identity by taking over and creating new individuality. With each person in the story being raised in a test tube by a process called hypnopaedia, rather than a mother’s womb, it is easy for the controllers to create who and what they want a person to become. Throughout the novel, Huxley has put much thought into hypnopaedia, which is what the characters believe is useful for conditioning the children to become instilled into their principles of the life they are given. In relation to today’s world, hypnopaedia is much like the idea of brainwashing due to the government in the novel playing tapes over and over again as the children sleep in order for them to adapt to that hypnotic.

The Alphas and Betas, who are considered to be superior, are deemed to have managerial job opportunities and are less likely to be reproduced, whereas the lower class, like the Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons, are doing manual labor. Unlike the Alphas and Betas, the Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons are considered as the masses of the population, and are also deemed to be shorter and uglier. By dividing the population into different caste systems, this is a close resemblance to the world to date considering how the government divides people into a system based on a rank in class in regards to money. In this day and age, society has divided the world population into three class ranks: upper, middle, and lower class. The upper class is considered to be the white collar workers of society. These people are usually working as executives and other administrative duties. The middle and lower class is considered to be known as the blue collar workers of the world, meaning these people are usually working in manual labor or just not working at all. In resemblance to the Alphas and Betas, perhaps the white collar workers have more of a well-rounded education, whereas the Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons are perceived to be just like the blue collar workers of society, meaning they
