Response to Turner’s reading
People in today’s society are living at a much faster pace; we need something to keep up with us at the rate. It also has a lot to do with competition between companies and their consumers. Every few months we look forward to the latest gadgets that are hitting the market and we try to be the first in line to get it. As for those who cannot afford to get it right away we have a tendency to show it off or flash our devices for egotistical reasons. The shift in which turner refers to reflects upon the mind state of society during the 60’s, the acceptance of technology was different compared to the 90’s. In the 60’s, the technology era was just beginning to rise and a lot of people was ignorant to what was going on. Indeed people do fear what they don’t know, so a lot of persons did not accept the change in times. During the 90’s, computers were already well known about and place in every educational facility and almost every house. The rise of the World Wide Web wouldn’t be as frightening in the 90’s as the 60’s because it was seen as just another feature of the computer.
