Roger's Blog on Technocracy to Technopoly

In one of the chapters from Neil Postmans "Technopoly", he discusses the change from Technocracy to Technopoly in which he believes Technocracy to be a society that is not completely controlled by tradition and culture and that is driven to invent something in which has meaning to the background of it as well. On other notes Technopoly is a society in which they release all forms of traditional and cultural life to technology. Frederick W. Taylor presented the idea that all systems will do their thinking for them. He stated, "that this is crucial because it led to the idea that technique of any kind can do our thinking for us, which is among the basic prinicples of Technopoly." Taylor used the system to apply that with the use of industrial production. He believed in using this theory in which to increase profit and short hour and higher wages in which the system would work, that it would destroy any use of traditional ways and less using of the brain itself. Technocracy speeded up the world and the way we do things nowadays without it who knows what would be going on. We now do things quicker and faster. Technology thanks to Technocracy is getting faster, faster, and faster every year now. In "Brave New World", Technopoly eliminates the alternatives that Aldous Huxley outlines, "it makes them invisible and therefore irrelevant. And it does so by redefining what we mean by religion, by art, by family, by truth, by history, by politics, by definition, by privacy, and by intelligence so that our definition fits it's new requirements." Ideas and things like this are lost in "Brave New World," they have different beliefs and ideas in which to date, acquire a baby, or to even have sex. All of these ideas are irrelevant in which they are permitted through the eyes of Huxley, but they all go back to the idea of singularity, Technocracy, and Technopoly. Is it true like Ray Kurzeil believes, that one day humans and robotic machines will fuse to form a "Cyborg"? Just like maybe the idea that Technocracy and Technopoly both hit and went there seperate ways just like humans and machines might do instead of forming one, only time will tell.
