Summary Of The Influencing Machines By Brooke Neufeld

In another reading, The Influencing Machines by Brooke Gladstone and Josh Neufeld, they brought up both sides to the argument. The article is composed of comics, which support technological advances and other strips of how technology is hurting us. The authors bring up points saying that technology is influencing the way we perceive things. For example, one comic shows a woman who characterized as the "slutty girlfriend, and the boyfriend is supposed to be a sex offender, the couple is holding hands and walking through town. The following comic is the same image of the couple, except the "slutty girlfriend's" face is blurred out and hidden. This example only proves that technology is changing our views on topics that should not be controversial.
