Technopoly...Is it even Possible

Technocracies are concerned to invent machinery…But in technocracies, such a condition is not held to be a philosophy of culture…Technopoly does,” was the first thing that caught my eye in this whole piece that summed everything up in the least amount of words. Technocracies, I see as just the improvement of technology which has been going on for basically forever. That has been a constant and will never go away. And I don’t think that it is a bad thing. However, the technopoly is a completely different beast, and I can see very clearly that America is close, if it hasn’t slipped a little into it already, to becoming a full on technopoly. This, would be a bad thing, to say the least. America has taken Technocracies to the point of Technopolies, and some would gladly push the ball over the hill and let it roll. This, in our society, is an unwise decision because it will become a world like Brave New World where soma is available to make you feel good. And you WILL not question it. Why? Because there will not be anything to question. (Oh, today I drove past clovis elementary and saw a sign that said “SOMA” Church of Worship. I don’t judge but I got a little freaked out for a second,) Anywhooo…. Back on topic. When it comes to America drifting into a Technopoly, which people worry about and throw red flags up in the air like Huxley, I believe that it will not reach that point. Just like the technocracy could not throw out and overpower the small yet what seems to be the indestructible faith of humans in religion or just the belief in the human kind. Frederick Taylor was the first to state that Human’s are best used to serve under their techniques and machines. He was the first person to really just come out and say it. He saw it in America because Americans would push and push and push to become more efficient. Although this is true. Religion is still a huge part of the majority of people’s lives around the world. To become a technopoly. That faith must be defeated. It hasn’t been, therefore, I believe there is no such thing as a technopoly. There may never be one. To me there will only be severe cases of technocracies. But what else is new.
