Throughout this semester in Media Law and Literacy, we have explored technology extensively. We have covered the evolution of technology, technological inventions and advances, as well as how technology has become integrated into our society. Technology today often feels like second nature for many, is this really a good thing?
What are the Positives?
Technology is incredibly powerful and many positives. The video of the Futurama ride in 1964, predicted how technology could create a brand new, shiny, society. The ride talks about putting a man on the moon, new interstates, and high tech public transportation. Although American society doesn't necessarily live up to the vision of the ride, we have inherited a lot of the "futuristic" ideals.
The Futurama ride exemplifies the wonderful possibilities of technology and highlights the potential of American society. This video sparked my interest in mentioning the power of electric vehicles. Although electric cars have risen in popularity, it is predicted that they will only become more prevalent. I believe that generation Z will widely benefit from the technological advancements of cars. Sustainability or "going green" has been a large concern for gen-Z.
