Future Shock Reflection

“The natural world is so adaptable...So adaptable you wonder what’s natural,” states M.T. Anderson, the author of Feed. Today, society is changing everything one step at a time as more important points continue improving. This will leave the present to change and so will the future, but unfortunately we cannot do anything about it, because the past is already gone. For example, if marketing tactics, technology addiction, and consumerism continue, it will change how we work today. These three problems can affect us negatively, that if we continue, our future would not look as bright as a dream full of rainbows and sunshine.

Projections that have been made about how today’s society and culture will look in the coming years, decades, and centuries, all have yet to be seen in how valid they are. If you look in any sort of media: television, social media, or radio/music, you will see people giving their interpretations of what will become of our world down the road. Yet, few people look to see how our the current state of culture and society reflect the projections made by people in previous years, decades, and centuries. In looking at the visions of the future presented by both novelas, The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, and The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster, each story presents aspects of society that prominently appear today. Written during the Industrial Revolution, a time where technology and human innovation was at one of its highest points in recent history, both stories explore the possible effects of the machinery that was becoming evermore present. Both authors present aspects such as omnipotent technology, decaying human independence, and destruction of real communication, to create the artistic statement that complacency is rising within the human race, and that complacency will eventually lead to the fall of mankind. In both stories, the authors speak against human complacency and deference to technology, warning that it will lead to the creation of weaker people and society that will ultimately destroy the human race, yet that complacency is present in today’s culture and due to the

These texts shape our perceptions by making the responder consider carefully the consequences to think about what is happening and what would happen if technology advances too quickly and we cannot control what it does anymore.

In Present Shock: When Everything Happens Now, Douglass Rushkoff discusses his interpretation of the relationship of society and rapidly evolving technology. He believes that as technology progresses, society becomes increasingly dependent on it and eventually loses touch with the traditional sense of time and reality. Through the book Rushkoff makes several insightful observations about the development of society and how technologies were often the driving force behind these “Present Shocks.”

Since the beginning of time, the human race has changed in a variety of ways. In theTimes Magazine articles, The War of Delicious; Alzheimer's from a New Angle; The United States of Insdvency; Why You Shouldn't be Allowed to Drive; and Encounters with the Archgenius, all discuss how humanity is changing. In analyzing these articles it becomes quite clear that humanity is changing drastically and quickly because we are becoming blind to the world around us. We are not sure on what is in our food or how it is made, the technology we have today is becoming more and more powerful and is taking over our real life relationships with other people, the medicine that we have been discovering is curing more diseases than we could have even imagined

Over history technology has changed mankind’s overall culture. From clock to computers use of technology is occurring every day in all most all situations. In Manjoo’s article “Why tech Is Starting to Make Me Uneasy” he introduces how the latest tech ideas are shaping the future. Manjoo explain new surprise of technology ones felt like Christmas morning, it’s now like the darkened basement. He feeling so bad about tech because he thinks smartphones and social networks might be ruining the world. Also, he explains new tech may well improve much about our lives but may also put millions of people out of work, and some worry that it could wreak global havoc.

The majority of society has adapted to the technology-rich world that we live in. After all, an important aspect of a good electronic is its user-friendliness and adaptability. We have taken advantage of all technologies improvements in products and services. However, in the future, technology will provide much more than just products and services. It will provide autonomous transportation and engrossing entertainment. It will also enhance education, ameliorate the healthcare industry, help the environment, grow global economy and much more. Technology will have a vital

In the future of mankind, technology has taken over most of the jobs. The people live happily in their homes, everything they need inside. In both The Pedestrian and The Fun They had we learn that technology has replaced humanity.

In the world there are many different and developing types of technology that can offer many benefits, but at the same time cause many problems. Technology comes in many shapes and sizes and does many different things. Whether it’s a house that can do everything for its inhabitants , or a device that can make the paralyzed walk again, society is moving forward in the world of technology although it may be controversial.

The stories in this collection are unusual but a few common themes arise. One of these themes is the way we relate to technology. It is pretty obvious in the first tale of the book, “The Veldt.” In this story, we meet a family who are completely reliant on on their house. It is a technological phenomenon,

In all three works, there is a focus on showing how technological advancements are making society worse off. This is because these kinds of changes are designed to take away any kind of individual creativity and have everyone conform to different social standards. Where, each one is highlighting these transformations throughout the course of human history.

Technology has changed many people in our life. some of people can’t live without it in them daily life because they use to it. In this argument Marc Prensky talks about the different between the last generation and this generation. Nowadays, this new generation have grown with the technology “Digital Natives.” He described how the old generation had no technology in their life, and their thought were different, and how hard to change the old generation thought.

In our present society, people cannot deny that the changes in this world have been tied to the advancement of the technology. It has evolved with this society so deeply where such conveniences are no longer luxuries but rather necessities. Unfortunately, the most affected group of people from the developed technology is the younger age people (Subrahmanyam, 2000). In the past, children were more lively and active: playing outdoors, running around, climbing trees and remaining active rather than watching television and playing video game and computer. It is true that the use of the technology has its own virtue. It provides value, convenience and entertainment, but it should not take the place of movement and realistic
