Technology...

In Neil Postman's interview and in his book, Amusing Ourselves to Death, he is attempting to persuade his readers and listener that technology is taking over our world, and they are completely unaware of it.  In the first chapter of Postman's book, he talks about the invention of the clock. He mentions of clock has a bigger idea than just telling people the time. It changed everything about how people do things and what they do not do. The clock created more than just time.  In his interview Postman talks about how they had successfully managed to clone a sheep.  He has the same idea as the clock when he mentions this. Cloning will eventually become so much bigger, bringing around more problems than it can solve.
In the interview, Postman talks about how people will eventually not care about how they communicate and will start talking to things that obviously will not talk back but it will not matter because they will never know the difference. People will get so used to talking to machines like computers that they will not know how to communicate to a another actual person.  In his book, he mentions the fact that people that are running for positions in government are now being judged on their appearance instead of their ideas.  A while ago, people would not be able to judge someone by their appearance because they would not be able to see them and would only be able to judge on the person's ideas.
Neil Postman is scared for what technology will eventually make the human kind. He knows that it can not be good and is trying to warn people. He believes that if improvements in technology are continuing to be made, eventually the world will not know what to do with themselves.
