The Conclusion – now that you have an outline, try to restate some of the main parts, and consider the implications of the work you have done Restatement of thesis: In conclusion, technology impacts our life in the social, economic, and personal life since it consists of the imprisonment due to social networks, the censorship due to mass media, the proliferation due to military technology and international trades. Summary of main points/ideas: Questions, applications, implications of argument: The provided arguments state the current situation of the impact of technology nowadays; however, our main concern is its future status. Will it worsen or stay in its status quo? Are people aware of this phenomenon or are they inattentive of its danger? Is there any solution that might reduce or hamper its spread?
In what ways does a comparative study accentuate the distinctive contexts of Frankenstein and Blade Runner? The values and morals of society have dramatically changed throughout the course of history, so too has the knowledge of science, its teachings and influences on the world. As new technologies have been under further experimentation into the production of man-made life forms, the debate between science and religion has continued. It is these issues within an author’s context that influences them and the texts they create. Mary Shelley’s gothic promethean novel, Frankenstein (1818), was released during the industrial revolution as romanticism was thriving, while Ridley Scott’s futuristic sci-fi Blade runner (1992) grew with the dawning of a capitalistic increasingly globalised and technologically driven society.
Although Fahrenheit 451 was written nearly sixty years ago, it serves as a warning to present day people about the danger of a technological take over. The author of this novel used a science fiction novel to portray his opinion of how the world would be if people constantly worship advancing technology and increasing knowledge. Science fiction stories tell about the future by blending scientific data and theory with the author’s creative imagination. In Fahrenheit 451, the author, Ray Bradbury, reversed the roles of present day heroes and community leaders. He also altered the purpose and reason of the life in future America if things don’t human continue to let technology overpower them.
Produced in the following century where technological advances and growth played a major role in life & society. Shown in both text showing the “Double-Edged Sword” of the power and dominance of science and technology. Shelly’s Warning Voice: Danger of science and values. Through parallel characterisation and Epistolary narrative. Scott’s Warning Voice: Destruction of nature, caused by Science and Technology (taking it too far.)
Because the assumption does not require for the growth to be at the same constant every year, instead it states that the best estimate of growth for any future year is the expected growth rate from the previous year. It is just very unreasonable to assume that the growth rate will be constant every year. Companies just cannot maintain the same rate earning every year; sure they can for a few years in a row but not forever. If they do there could be a suspicion of fraud. 2.
The Lingering Problems of Direct Democracy: Potential for Abuse in a Time of Technological Change In considering the possibility of implementing a form of web and computer-based direct democracy in American society, the benefits, as they pertain to transparency and responsiveness, appear to be significant. Problematically, however, and in spite of the technological growth which has made large-scale direct democracy foreseeable in a federal republic, several elements of human nature and of American life alike preclude the possibility of its real emergence. For one, the problem of the factions, discussed at length in the Federalist Papers, might create a context in which direct democracy would become oppressive to America’s minorities. Additionally,

We need to think about how patents play into the motivations of all participants, not just those who end up seeking a patent. Patent racing is not-yet-a developed theory of patent incentives. Given the historical evidence, if you are skeptical of the benefits of patent racing, you probably ought to be skeptical of the benefits of the patent system as a whole. The resulting disconnect is a problem not only for patent theory but for the design of the patent system, which seems to be based on assumptions about invention that are not borne out by
Does such research have any victims? Should those who develop new technology be required to have their innovations screened? What other strategies may be used to allow society time to evaluate new technology before it is
It suggests that an ambitious person will surrender moral integrity in order to achieve power and success. This is portrayed through Tyrell, the Creator of the Replicants and possibly the mastermind behind the world’s rapid propulsion into a world of science. Bladerunner is a dystopic science fiction that holds similarities to Huxley’s Brave New World (1932) and George Orwell’s 1984 (1949). Both these texts have influenced the themes present in the film regarding contemporary society’s failings and the speculation on the potential consequences of continued scientific pursuit. This pursuit of knowledge and progress is not unlike that of the Nazi regime.
