I spent a lot time this week searching for outside sources for my Pecha Kucha. I decided on two that I will be using in my paper and presentation Monday. However, it took a lot of thinking before I was able to remind myself exactly what I had chosen to to my research on. But I read both of my books Brave New World and 1984 so I was quickly able to regain grounds refocus my lens after the fact.
But I had decided to take a look at how technology has had an effect on society and its interactions with government and itself. I wanted to take a look at what is similar to today and the crazy fantasy worlds that were created 68 and 85 years ago by the two authors. And I feel like Aldous Huxley was definitely more accurate with his idea of vision of where he thought the future would lead us. Because there is a certain amount of truth to what he thought may happen 85 years ago. Where are George Orwell's idea is a bit more unrealistic in a way. Mainly I feel like it is due to fact the 1984 universe does not take into account people's natural resistance to ignorance. While we only get to really see in in Julia and Winston, I feel like there is too much unrealistic obedience in their society.
