The craving for technology is apparent within society, especially among the younger generation, as portrayed by this photo and explained in the essay “BlackBerry, Treo, Razr: A Plague on all of you” by Diane Francis. The themes of these two contents are relative in a sense that they convey a similar message; the addiction of technology has negatively affected the current generation. Society is unconsciously being impacted by living in a ‘techno-world’. “It is addictive, invasive and anti-social…” describes the corrupt of electronic devices as said by Diane Francis. In comparison, this photo also conveys a corresponding message by showing the infant feeding on a cell phone, and having a Blue ray device hung on their ear. The photo is a metaphorical expression of how technology is overpowering the younger generation. By evaluating both contexts it can be assumed that the thematic statements both send out, is the message of how society is adapting to technology rapidly. The essay shows how people grow to be socially ignorant and isolate themselves from society with the use of the Blackberry. The photo demonstrates technology having an effect on younger generations by showing an infant being associated with electronic devices. The examples shown here are clear demonstrations of the harmful impacts of constant use of electronic devices. In conclusion, society is under technological corruption and needs to stand strong against it.
