Analysis Of George Orwell's '1984'
Good Morning/Afternoon and welcome back to the program. According to recent studies, children under the age of 2 are spending an average of 2 hours a day watching television or using other devices (such as computers and tablets), while children who are over the age of 8 years old spend approximately 7 hours per day in front of screens (including mobile phone use). While these figures are confronting, imagine what these figures will look like in 50 years when technology that haven’t even been discovered yet is readily available to children.

There is no escaping, as we are already consumed. Minority Report uses technology for safety’s sake, using spyders and cameras to always watch everyone’s actions. 1984 has a Big Brother system, which disallows individuals to think for themselves. Both systems take away our freedom, and this can already be seen in our society
