Full pages, completely filled.
Examples:
Amazon.com's Kindle eBook reader
- Talked about how technology is moving forward but a great amount of people still prefer to read physical books because of certain almost intangible things, smell of the pages, sound of the page turning. Old style things help us to get back to our roots and transport us to other worlds.
Thoreau and Walden
- Talked about by separating himself from technology and society allowed him to become more in tune with the lake and nature itself. By moving himself away from those distractions he was able to discover who he was. The person who knows himself best is one who can maintain his opinion while amidst all the technology and dissenting opinion.
Einstein/Szilard Letter, the atomic bomb
- Einstein was a pacifist, but he still used his celebrity in order to get Szilard's letter noticed by Roosevelt. Letter led to the Manhattan project. Einstein put aside his own views and embraced technology for the safety of the world and an expedient end to the World War.
Thesis was that I qualified it, sometimes it's good for us to go away from technology and sometimes we need to embrace it. (Safety, etc.) |
