In Neil Postman's " Technopoly" he states that " Americans were better prepared to undertake the creation of a technopoly than anyone else." After reading this statement i would probably have to 100 percent agree with him and his views on this. The reason this is, is because if this what not true that the Americans were better prepared to undertake the creation of technopoly, then who would. Besides human there would be no one else that could possibly undertake the creation of technopoly. "These conditions provided the background, the context in which the Americans distrust of constraints the exploitative genius of its captains of industry, the success of technology and the devotion of traditional beliefs took on the exaggerated significance that pushed technocracy in America over into technopoly." This basically describes the belief on technopoly and technocracy. Machines nowadays are doing things that humans could have never thought of ages ago. But today we are producing machines non-stop and its ridiculous, and that why i would have to agree with Neil Postmans's idea that "Americans were better prepared to undertake the creation of a technopoly than anyone else." In some way I can see the relation between 1984, Brave New World, and Tecnopoly. Even though they are not related at all the relate to each other in many ways. I think that once we finish reading Brave New world we can eventually compare these too and out are input into these two topics and hopefully we can all agree on similar things and have input are own information on what we believe the future might hold for us.
