In our world, everything we do is monitored. Nothing we do goes unseen. Our world demonstrates the idea of an Orwellian society. The book 1984 by George Orwell shows a society that is a perfect example for this idea. The Stanford experiment, the documentary 10 Days in North Korea, and the Milgram experiment each represent a great example of an Orwellian society.

Instead just searching for carbon on the Internet search engines will produce coal that feeds the machine of advertisement. Now Generation Z is learning to search on the Internet for information instead of using critical thinking to searching the world for wisdom. Speaking on a similar matter, Plato argued that the invention of written language would be just a counterfeit idea of true wisdom; more of a reminder. What would Plato say if all the available knowledge of the world was at a push of the enter button?

They hate being told how they can act, what they can eat, and even things as simple as being told when to get up in the mornings. Imagine a person who is told they cannot read books, cannot have a journal, or cannot create art and do anything that involves having fun because it is a crime.
