There were three main points to the article I enjoyed reading, the cause and effect technology has and creates on society, the history and the history of the uses of television technology. The article Technology and the Society was something that fascinated me. Williams summarizes the relationship of technology and the society and also how tec. changes culture and psychology. Professor Perez quotes on her page "the technology is in effect accidental". In other words, technology is the cause for change. The article talks a lot about television and how it mirrors society yet we mock what we see on tv. To me, this is an interesting theory, but according to the article the ideas of Williams are often ignored. In other words, the change would have happened regardless of technology. This was interesting because I go back in my mind to the invention of the wheel, because of the wheel we drive further distances, but without the wheel we would have created something else more effecient, it's the human way.
