One of the five major points of Postman’s article is that we always have to pay a price for technology for example when the iPhone first came out it was $499 now the newest model which is the iPhone 14 Pro Max goes for $1,199. Why the price increase may you ask… newer versions of electronics include newer features/ upgrades that weren’t a thing back then.
Postman’s article is mostly facts meaning he explains what happens with technology in real life/day. It resonates with everyone including me because he explains how we are all stuck in a world where everyone needs the best of the best including electronics. It’s true because every 2 years we all get new phones, we can choose if we want the nicest one or the newest one but not the best meaning if it only has 2 cameras instead of 3 etc. Obviously if you don’t have a contract you don’t have to worry but I’m sure you still would want the nicest phone. The point is it’s society making us always feel like we NEED to get it. Reading this article made me realize that we are in a trap and everything that shouldn’t be normalized is with electronics.
I agree with your sentiment towards this idea of technology being a rap of the sorts. Technology has the potential to a lot of bad towards people and society, however its worth noting the good it can bring. It is important to be cautious of technology this is something that people should practice.
