- 1984- Part 4 Pre-Writing Slidedeck - 8309540（副本） Big Brother and the Authoritarian Surveillance State: George Orwell’s 1984 Part 4: Pre-Writing Is our technology taking us closer to or farther away from the world of Big Brother? Activity 35: Considering Your Task and Your Rhetorical Situation – Surveillance, Authoritarian Practices, and Big Brother Current tech that move towards 1984 Current policies/systems to protect us from 1984 Activity 35: Considering Your Task and Your Rhetorical Situation – Surveillance, Authoritarian Practices, and Big Brother, continued... Of course, all of these technologies have both good and bad applications, depending on how they are used, who is using them, and for what purpose. Also, many of these technologies are available to any citizen, not just the government. If you do a search on Amazon for smoke detectors with built-in spy cameras, for example, you will get nearly 500 choices, many of them under $50. If you live in an apartment, you might want to look at the smoke detectors more carefully. Before you do any searches, consider the core question “Is our technology taking us closer to or farther away from the world of Big Brother?” and write a short paragraph about what you think your answer will be and why. **hint, this could be the foundation for your thesis or introductory paragraph** Activity 36: Gathering Relevant Ideas and Materials – Researching the Writing Task To prepare for this essay, you will start with some Internet searches. However, if you search on any of the topics listed in Activity 35, you will get thousands of hits. To get hits more relevant to this topic, you can combine something from the list with terms such as “government control” or “government surveillance,” or even “Orwell” or “1984.” For example, if you search on “facial recognition government control,” you will get titles such as “The problem of governments using facial recognition software” and “Microsoft wants regulation of facial recognition technology to limit 'abuse'.” If you try combining “facial recognition” with “Orwell” you get things like, “Facial recognition technology: Is Orwell’s fiction our reality?” Spend about one hour trying out different searches.
