Journalist, Clive Thompson in his book, “Smarter Than You Think”, specifically in the chapter titled, “Public Thinking”, published on September 12, 2013, addresses the topic of technology and argues that because of the internet, we are doing more writing now than ever. Therefore technology is helping us think publicly in new and improved ways. He supports this claim by asserting that there is an improvement in our writing, which is happening because of the “audience effect”, he then goes on to say that anything we write changes the way we think, and finally he talks about how the internet builds connections, which is essential to the spread of new ideas. Thompson’s purpose is to inform readers about how the internet is a tool being used to advance our society in order to encourage more people to partake in online, public thinking. He adopts a contemplative tone for his audience, the readers of The New York Times, and others interested in the topic of technology.

“A spectre is haunting Europe – the spectre of Communism.” This is the opening line of Karl Marx’s famous Communist Manifesto and in 1848, when it was written, Communism was haunting Europe, though not nearly so much as it would nearly a century and a half later, at the height of the Cold War. Under the looming threat of nuclear holocaust, the bitter conflict between the west and the communist world seemed intractable, omnipresent and all consuming. Fear of communism reached hysterical levels with McCarthyism in the United States; similar movements throughout the west leeched off of the paranoia and despair of a world seemingly condemned to interminable war. With the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of the Soviet Union, the triumph of the market economy and the official end of the Cold War, the fear of Communism has dropped from our collective psyche.
