Compare & Contrast essay about technologies
Email, Cell phones, Internet, Television, Pagers, and Computers is the way of the future, or is it now trademarks of everyday life? Today in 2002 peoples lives seem so interconnected with the ways that technology has been able to bridge the gap in communications. Fifty years ago, you had limited options, sending mail from the post office (which today has been labeled "snail mail") or calling them. We now have a wide variety of communication devices accessible to us so that we are never out of touch. Multimedia, Television, and internet bring into our homes images of violence, sex, ideals, and everything that is out there in the world. One of the current issues that has been approached is "Is there to much information accessible to us?" Since we are overwhelmed with so much information, scenes of sex, violence, and also by ways of communication, we are slowly loosing the sensors of right and wrong, everything is becoming almost like a video game. Compared to fifty years ago, America today is facing a whole new set of problems that was not even a consideration or a thought of Americans of yesteryear. Morals, communication, society's beliefs, trends, value of life, and
50 years ago is an unbelievable difference. Companies are bought and sold, and people's work and time are disregarded. Also instant connections, meetings online, and business conferences grouped by real player multimedia. The ideal 1950s mom dad and kid have been replaced with mom, step-dad: dad and girl friend, half brother etc. From email, to computers, to chat rooms; it's how people meet and interact with each other now. People jump from job to job and job security is almost non existent. The benefits of today include: more freedom, never losing touch w/someone, and having more time to be w/your family. 50 years ago there were movies about space, and aliens and what not. Now they can download streaming media of sex. Society really doesn't have any idea what we are in store for. How does this affect people? Violence, and the reality of movies now, with special affects makes real, almost not real. With benefits come downfalls such as: lack of privacy. We do not reflect the utopia that people from 1952 may have imagined for us with flying cars, ray guns, and life in space.
