Privacy In Brave New World

The Western World has changed a lot in the past 10 years than any other time before it. With all of the internet and electronic entertainment, and so called capitalism getting bigger like in Korea, some parts of Brave New World are becoming more and more real.

With the growth in T.V. we don’t have to be asleep to be out into hypnopaedia. Everything around us today is all about getting us to buy it. And in the brave new world they have everyone buying games to stay entertained. The money everyone makes just goes right back to the Government. Just like in today’s society we are buying. Also in Brave New World they are making games complicated so that way your attention or money is always going into them. Like todays hardcore gaming community. YouTubers that are making money and to keep audiences happy buy the newest games, gaming systems and gaming accessories.

The internet today is just allowing everybody in everybody’s business. In Brave New World that already happens, the people
in the book don’t do anything without someone else knowing. So many people today are posting stuff on Twitter like eating a Hershey’s, where they bought it and where they are at right then and there. That’s no privacy at all. Along with knowing who’s with who and who’s dating whoever (staying up to date on the latest drama).

With T.V.
and internet on our phones even now we are just susceptible to not having our privacy. All the apps downloaded and no one ever reads every word of the terms they accept. There are lots of apps that could potentially turn on the camera without you knowing or accessing your txt and your history on your browser. Now people are doing all their banking though their cellphones. Are they really secure as the banks say they are? Divorce rates have been all over the place this shows a relevance to Brave New World even though it’s slightly different. In the book it’s shunned to be with one person, but in today’s society it’s starting to become okay to not be with just one person and not to stay “loyal” to one person. Bringing in so many people to your personal life as close as a spouse would be could result in a big break of privacy such as money, bank accounts, facebook/twitter/insta accounts. And it could all become and invasion of privacy without even thinking of it that
way. “If I delete it from my page on facebook it’ll be gone” nope whoever says this most likely knows it is not true but they don’t put much thought into it at the moment. All I ever hear anymore is don’t post what you don’t want anyone to see later in life because there is no deleting anything off of the internet. But people still do it. Employers have started making people link their social media accounts to their apps. The company wants to know whether you’re being a good or horrible example for the company. Privacy down the drain again So they see something they don’t like and you’re fired and it’s out there forever.
