Final Analysis 1984

Orwell wasn’t accurate in his vision of the future. The society in the book was more advanced then we are today not to mention 1984. The whole idea of the Party and rewriting history doesn’t happen today. Maybe it does to a small extent but people are aware of what happened in the past and aren’t brainwashed into believing lies. The telescreens in the novel are a good representation of today’s national security or spying. The government is developing security in order to prevent from a national crisis however; when does it become too much. When will the government start to know too much about our personal lives. Orwell could also be correct when he talks about family at the end. O’Brien explains how the party has cut the link between child and parent, man and man, woman and man. “No one dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer” (267). Orwell is on the right track with this frame of mind. If society continues to rely on technology, including cell phones, computers, emails, we will lose touch of each other. There will no longer be socialized friendships or relationships even between family members. If people aren’t aware of what could happen to future generations and the risk of moving forward too fast with technology and new ideas, it is very likely that society will lose family, friendships, trust. Everything will become a lie; even our history.
