1946 or today things do change


So after read this old story it funny to see that even back then society had a problem with over sharing. While the computers or as they are referred to by the story Logics made it easy to find out useful info on anything you wanted to know much like the computer have today for our generation. These logics are connected to a tank that connects them to all the other tanks, sound a lot like the internet and Google. Want to find something today just up on a computer and open your web browser and search Google and you can find almost anything you want. Even things that you want to keep hidden from other show up, just like the wife showed in the story. She was  part of the problem, she told her husband to fix it but while he does she was going to look out other before it gets fixed and hopes that no one looks her info. She like most people in our society today wanted to find all the dirt on everyone else but didn’t want anyone to see anything about them. Its much like social media today, everyone laughs and makes fun of others, while only posting a select few thing here and there that make them look good, and un-tagging themselves in anything that makes them look bad. So now to fix the problem is to restrict and censor info but that takes time to sort though and see what should be allow to view and what should be hidden from the public eye. While shutting down the system and figuring out all this would work, society has become to reliant on computer/logics. Shutting them down would also stop everything else at the same time. Its like the creation of anything that came before. Power for example, people were able to live and get thing done before, but now that we have it we can see do thing the old way.

  1. When you mentioned people wanting to find out dirt on everyone else, but for no one to know anything about themselves was so true. It seems as if that is how most people are now days. Which there is nothing wrong when wanting to look your best, but if it is putting others down that isn't very nice. I enjoyed reading your thoughts, thank you for sharing!
