TECH LESS WORD

...

people per day around their free downloadable movies, series and music . It was the most popular and the biggest website of streaming but on January 19, 2012, the United States department of justice shut it down with all other websites linked to it. They were accused of copyright infrigment. A lot of users were shocked and showed their disapointment on twitter and facebook. The leader of the compagnie Kim Dotcom faces 20 years of imprisonnement.A wave of attacks by users and members of Anonymous touched the FBI original website and Universal Music Group. They even tweeted their action in order to throw shade at the federal organisation.

We deal here with two form of powers, the first one is legal and worked in association with the law whereas the second one remains illegal and concerns people. This kind of events make us realize that even in the virtual world that is the internet one, we could face too dangerous situations against the law and that anyone can commit a crime with a simple computer. Power can be taken by anyone, something that the last document, an extract from dies the fire illustrates very well. The scene takes place in a post apocaliptical world without any form of technology after an event not mentioned, but named the Change. We face two categories of peoples, the hamlet residents in Lochsa in Idaho. They have issue with the land which is hard for farming and they are heavily armed with baseball bats, axes and hunting bows. They are on the lookout, protecting their communty and letting only few people stopping by. Then we have the travellers whose leaders are well decripted, Angelica and Harvel, they travel on horses , armed too, heading towards Lewiston but before that they still look for a place to seattle in , they try to exchange their rations and as the hamlet they remain a close-knit group looking after each others and all ready to fight. The text deals with another group, survivalists, people who fight to impose their leadership

In this extract we face a situation that maybe we’ll have to deal with in some years, the fact that our society is connected to technologies made us powerful but weak enough to be controlled by anyone, when every form of technology is out of order and we come back to wild life, human beings become real animals in order to fight for life and comfort.

To conclude we can say that these three documents illustrate an addiction to a dangerous life. The simple teenager shouting at his mother because she shut wfi off became a real savage fighting for meat. Our world may have evolved a lot due to technologies but we have to impose some limits to ourselves . How to live without technologies ? First by starting to enjoy the simple things that life gave us, like our mouth to talk with strangers and appreciate every kind of conversation, the hello to the bakerman to the debate with a coworker , like our eyes to analize every view, our ears to listen to and not only to hear, our legs to walk and discover the world on our own and not behind Google images. Technologies are good but like drugs, everything we depend on today could be the thing that kills us tomorrow.
