Examining the evolution, physical characteristics, and psychological effects of the Panopticon allows one to understand the mechanism by which the Panopticon produces power. Most inventions develop through an evolutionary process while attempting to improve a situation or solve a problem. Often, a

Our memories change the way in which we see the world The idea that our memories change the way on which we see the world and ultimately change reality is a difficult one to understand.
