Evolution Of Technology

  The film 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was released in 1968, was the subject of discussion in class. In the movie, we showcased ten items that we felt were incredibly cool. The monolith, and how popular the symbolism of it in the film is still recognised and adored by everybody, is the best part in the entire movie for me. While viewing the movie, I got a fascinating realisation about the re-emergence of the monolith in 2020, first in Utah and subsequently in many other areas throughout the world. The design of the spaceship and the lunar base, for example, was pretty impressive. Another issue brought up in class was that the automobile on the television that the protagonist was seeing was similarly built to be ahead of its time. Despite the fact that the image appeared on the screen for only a fraction of a second and in the background, the creators paid attention to it and created it.

   "The tools we create, design us back," was a turning point in my thinking. The debate of how humans create tools that become so integrated into our life that they become extensions of us, altering our behaviour patterns and decisions. Why would a person in the twenty-first century prefer a button phone to a smartphone? Because of the evolution of technology, we have changed our preferences and choices; there were times when typing on a button phone was not a problem, but now it seems impossible; we do not have the patience for it; smartphones have made our lives easier, and no one wants to go back to the old way of doing things.

It aids in the clear communication of messages, the planning of towns, cities, and maps, the elimination of ambiguity, the writing of historical accounts for future generations to witness, an...

  MEDIUM IS THE MASSAGE The book’s title, ‘The Medium is the Message,’ explains the entire book in a single statement. The author is attempting to convey the idea that the channel through which information or a message is delivered is more essential than the content itself. Individual impressions of how the message is received might be influenced by the medium. McLuhan’s electrical information device refers to all of the electronic gadgets from which we extract information and how they effect individuals, families, education, work life, government, and so on. All that we do, according to McLuhan, is saved in a dossier bank forever and is never forgotten or deleted, similar to a gossip column. This is the internet, and everything we publish, write, or do on it is preserved forever and there is no permanent method to delete it. We’ve grown so engrossed in it that it no longer bothers us, and posting, tweeting, or commenting has become a habit. The impact of these electric gadget...
