Technology In Brave New World

In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, Huxley wrote about a future where technology takes over everything. Throughout the novel, Huxley displayed that if the world relies too much on technology, then the world will become nothing but technology.
Technology has a significant impact on life, science, and ethics, and this is laid out surely straightforward within the novel. Although with the impact that technology has, there are two questions to be asked: whether it can be done and whether it should be done. In the novel, Huxley answers those questions. To point out at the beginning of the novel, scientists were growing children in test tubes and cloning them to make more workers (96 set of twins if memory serves correctly). Not only does this

In the world we live in now, the closest thing that even remotely resembles a harmless leisure machine is a television. The impact one of these harmless leisure machines can have on one’s life is to provide carefree entertainment to all who desire it, and it is not full of ethical problems. However, the amount one spends with the harmless leisure machine can provide problems within the workforce, such as the workers being lackadaisical or lethargic when it comes to work. It is also possible that it would lead to the workers abandoning their jobs so they can have an enjoyable time instead of actually doing their work, and that can very much induce a problem for those who are working. The scientific aspect is that it would be harmless, so no one would be able to hurt themselves whilst enjoying the harmless leisure machines. Can harmless leisure machines affect workers and their work? No question about it. Should those machines affect the work they are performing? As long as they do what they are supposed to, it should

In the book, people take soma like they would drink water. There are ice-cream soma bars, people take it with their coffee before they go mingling. The people are so used to living with soma in their lives, that they would not be able to function without it. Soma represents a way to get rid of negative feelings and to enhance positive feelings. While it is supposed to be non-addictive, based on the fact that the citizens would not be able to function without it, it seems like it is quite addictive. The biological impact that soma has is the addictive but non-addictive quality it has on the people. The soma can be doing extreme damage to one’s organs without the one taking it knowing. That is also how it would impact the scientific realm due to biology be a category of science. The impact as far as ethics go would be that if someone felt that taking soma went against their morals, but they were forced to anyway. That could completely skew one’s views of right and wrong all based on one drug. Because the drug is available, can one take it without problem? Yes, but should one take it knowing that if they do not, they will lose their mind? It would be a reasonably bad idea to take it knowing those
