I think we have all noticed that almost every day there are new technology achievements at the stores. Whether we like it or not, it improves in every second, in every minute. So, is it a blessing or a curse? I'm sure that most of you think it's a blessing. We like our comfortable lives, we like it when everything has already been done for us. We want to have the newest mobile phones and best cars to show off and be better than our friends. However, it can make people selfish and egoistic. In the past 10 years modern technology has improved so fast that it is clearly visible when we compare the technology in the years 1999 and 2009. When I was a little girl, I remember the time I got my first mobile phone. It was Nokia 3210, which was thick and heavy as a rock, but I was so happy when I got it, because many years ago it was a really new model. When I got my second cell phone, I thought again that wow, it is so new and unique, I have a prettier phone than my friends do
in every minute. New Apple iPhones, iPads and other i-devices are everywhere. Even tractors have a built-in computer in them. So, is it a blessing or a curse? I'm sure that most of you think it's a blessing. Do you? We like our comfortable lives, we like it when everything has been done for us already. We want to have the newest mobile phones and best cars to show off and be better than our friends. However, it can make people selfish and egoistic. They want more and more and more. In the past 10 years modern technology has improved so fast that it is clearly visible when we compare technology in the years 2002 and 2012. When I was a little boy, I remember the time when I got my first mobile phone. It was Nokia 3310 (I can bet my life on it, that everyone in this class knows what Nokia 3310 looks like). It is thick and heavy as a rock, but I was so happy when I got it, because many years ago it was a really new model, a
Farm" Napoleon's first act to gain his leadership was the betrayal of his fellow leader and friend Snowball. Napoleon and Snowball did not agree on their views of leading the farm and Napoleon, who could not deal with divided power, drove Snowball away. So do humans nowadays. The moment they feel threatened by others' support for someone else's ideas, views and power, a certain protective reflex pushes them to defend and fight for their position. Humans are too selfish, self-centered and egoistic to share their desired position with someone else. Besides the thirst for individual power, the methods people use to gain it are even more absurd. The best example would be lying. In "Animal Farm" Napoleon gradually started inventing more and more lies, which would justify and explain his decisions and acts. The pigs started altering the Seven Commandements for their own well-being. They changed them to make their life more enjoyable and comfortable.
He does the same thing every day. Even his wife knows exactly who he has been talking to, cant hide anything. The rules of life, he says that, for on to succeed has to play golf with the boss, has to wear right clothes, and cant say the word nigger and has to be succesful. He has become a product of standardisation because of the rules, he is succesul because he is like everyone else. He is a conformist. The inner self is egoistic. Bob Slogam has to avoids everything that is tragic, like blind people. Wants his blind mother to die. Younger generation is not much better, they dont care for their parents, they dont care about school, education, they have no ambition, they are salky, unhappy, dissatisfied with everything. Jospeh heller gives a collective picture of his characters, many of them has no names. There is one exception, bobs 9 year old son is different, he is kind, generous, almmost too good to be true.
