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.
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!
