Hello. You forgot to reference the text needed to answer that question. The text is "Someone Might Be Watching - An Introduction to Dystopian Fiction" By Shelby Ostergaard
Answer:
In the context of the text, the advancement of technology has made our lives easier and, often, pleasant, fun and light. This is very good for our society, even because this technology allows the advancement in scientific information, as in the health area, to help us to survive in a more comfortable way. However, all these advantages come with a cost and this cost is usually associated with the dependence we create on technology. This dependence often disrupts our daily lives and interferes with our life as bad manineiras.
This dependence promotes exaggeration in the consumption of technology. these exaggerators are often used as inspiration for the creation of dystopic fictions. Dystopic fiction shows an exaggerated form of our dependence on technology. This is done as a way to shock the reader and leave him attracted and scared about how our society can evolve if we do not limit our dependence on us.
The costs of technology also evolve issues of social inequality and health problems, often psychological, such as anxiety for example. However, the costs are still less than the benefits, which allows more technologies to be sought and established in our society.
