Fortunately, Orwell got it wrong. Today, technology is the back-bone of our society. Most people find themselves unable to live without their laptops, cell phones, televisions, etc. The ability to communicate and investigate has undergone a makeover in the last twenty to thirty years. The internet has proven to be a catalyst to smaller businesses itching to grow. Many people are able to transmit valuable and important documents at the speed of light rather than waiting days and weeks for something to come in the mail. The power of information proves vital to the people of the free world and the people under totalitarian or communism rule. I strongly agree with Kinsley's point that Governments that strive to control the press are increasingly unable to do so. If the ruler or government wants to grow economically it has no choice but to allow full internet access. Full internet access.... This proves to be a major problem today for families that own computers. Children are able to obtain pornographic and sexually explicit material at the click of a button. This is a truly unfortunate situation. How can the government limit Internet access without taking away certain freedoms? This is a tough question that many are trying to figure out.
