Just like the telescreens in 1984, most electronics used are able to pick up what people are saying or even visually watch through cameras. In both situations there is little to no privacy. We are just as addicted to our screens as the people are during the Two Minutes Hate. It controls us and sometimes we don't even realize it or want it to happen. ]]> 2020-02-20 14:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/azimmer2021/f4xpk81v6306/wish/448056302 Amazon Alexa vs. Thought Police helicopter https://padlet.com/azimmer2021/f4xpk81v6306/wish/448059281 An Amazon Alexa's audio recording was tracked down following a murder case in a Florida home. Just like that, the police were able to capture the evidence needed to charge Adam Reechard Crespo for murder after stabbing his girlfriend to death. Similarly, 1984 shares a vivid scene from Winston's apartment where a helicopter swooped down to the window of an apartment to unveil the act of someone acting against party rules, and left without a trace]]> 2020-02-20 14:57:04 UTC https://padlet.com/azimmer2021/f4xpk81v6306/wish/448059281 bsandahl2021 https://padlet.com/azimmer2021/f4xpk81v6306/wish/448060738 Social media is taking over the population. People post about everything they do, where anyone who wants to can see. In a way, it is very similar to the people in Oceania's and their situation. But the thing is, we choose to live this way. It is our choice to allow people to see where we are at all times and have less privacy. ]]> 2020-02-20 14:58:45 UTC https://padlet.com/azimmer2021/f4xpk81v6306/wish/448060738 Technology has brought forth many new methods of communication, such as email, text, call, facetime, social media, etc. However, with this increase in technology to advance communication, there are some downsides. People have less time for themselves since they're always plugged into technological devices, and privacy is also limited because people can find you pretty much anywhere at any time. The quote above connects to this idea because Winston is constantly monitored by the telescreens that he barely has time for himself. His privacy is also being invaded tremendously by the instructress who is ordering him to stretch further. azimmer2021 https://padlet.com/azimmer2021/f4xpk81v6306/wish/448062891 https://www.bctv.org/2019/11/07/technological-influence-on-society/ ]]> 2020-02-20 15:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/azimmer2021/f4xpk81v6306/wish/448062891 https://padlet.com/azimmer2021/f4xpk81v6306/wish/448066063 2020-02-20 15:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/azimmer2021/f4xpk81v6306/wish/448066063 bsandahl2021 https://padlet.com/azimmer2021/f4xpk81v6306/wish/448069975 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhhYSrUHnao]]> 2020-02-20 15:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/azimmer2021/f4xpk81v6306/wish/448069975 article link dmurraynp20201 https://padlet.com/azimmer2021/f4xpk81v6306/wish/448608821 https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/why-b-61-12-bomb-most-dangerous-nuclear-weapon-americas-arsenal-32976]]> 2020-02-21 14:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/azimmer2021/f4xpk81v6306/wish/448608821 dmurraynp20201 https://padlet.com/azimmer2021/f4xpk81v6306/wish/448609506 2020-02-21 14:49:15 UTC https://padlet.com/azimmer2021/f4xpk81v6306/wish/448609506 DANGER! dmurraynp20201 https://padlet.com/azimmer2021/f4xpk81v6306/wish/448610660 "What makes the B61-12 bomb the most dangerous nuclear weapon in America’s arsenal is its usability. This usability derives from a combination of its accuracy and low-yield.
In terms of the former, the B61-12 is America’s first nuclear-guided bomb, As Hans Kristensen of FAS notes, “We do not have a nuclear-guided bomb in our arsenal today…. It [the B61-12] is a new weapon.”
