Technology.

21. In what ways does technology help The Party control Oceania? How does technology function today through television, radio, phones, cameras, satellites, and the Internet? Is it used for good or evil?

In 1984, I believe that Orwell uses technology as a weapon. You see, the camera is obviously the technology that is being used, but it's what the camera records that can be used as a weapon. If your recorded doing something that the government will find threatening, obviously your in trouble. The main source of technology that helps The Party control Oceania are a variety of things. However telescreens, a device used as televisions however has a two way security cameras, it what i think the government mainly depends on other that the thought police. Telescreens allow the government to constantly view the citizens of Oceania whenever they please, basically pointing out that the citizens don't have the right to have privacy. However, that isn't the only type of technology that is being used, throughout the town of Oceania there are cameras and hidden microphones hidden among the town. The government of Oceania go to all of these extreme measures to monitor every single aspect of citizen's lies, and quite frankly it works. 

As the years continue to pass by, technology is evolving into bigger and in some cases better things. However, it can be debated whether technology is being used for good or/and bad purposes. Our government, is capable of monitoring our calls, text messages, e-mails and so much more, that people truly question whether they should and to what extent. I personally think it's okay for the government to monitor people's call, text messages and so forth, if they are taking their time to monitor someone it's obviously for a valuable reason. In a addition, technology can cause problem as it grows. People are capable of hacking into companies, tracking people down due to GPS, steal someones identity and so much more. And as long as technology continues to grow, there will be pros and cons to the way it's being used. Whether we think technology is being used for good or bad purposes at the end of the day we all rely on it.
