The Importance Of Technology In The Twentieth Century

The technology of the twentieth century has benefited the world in many ways, but from having benefitted from it there are many consequences that have affected our social and physical worlds. We as a society need to question what the cost of technology has done to the world in general. The world has yet to discover what the underlying consequences are and the deep value behind them are. Capitalism is the key component of the physical and social alterations in the world that has cost us in many ways. With capitalism being introduced throughout the twentieth century it shows how the bourgeoisie and the proletariats have been the main components of the technology being produced. “People [offer] goods and services for sale to others in a more

The economy has a big tie to how the change in the twentieth century has changed touching base on the main component of technology we as a society use come from resources. Technology that is produced in the economy are from “the key producer of wealth [which] is the worker”(Naiman, 2012, p.80) As Naiman expands on how the worker is the main component of the product being produced which in this case is technology is all narrowed back to the working class. The economy has a lot to do with how change is brought to the twentieth century and the workers who are associated with making goods. The economy is branched into classes, which are distinguished between wealth. The working class “includes wage-workers who are engaged in the production of commodities, the extraction of natural resources, the production of food, the operation of the transportation network required for production and distribution, the construction industry, and the maintenance of energy and communication networks” (Naiman, 2012, p.108). This concept of the working class would be considered the base of any product being produced in the economy; with the working class, there would be no production. The working class yet is still under the capital who has created these jobs for them, but yet the working class “join together to bargain with employer or group of employers with regard to wages,

Capitalism and the economy go hand in hand and without the change in both, there would be no technology or change in general. Yes, technology has helped the twentieth century in countless ways, but along the way, it has defiantly resulted in impacts towards the physical and social worlds. Take natural resources that go into the technology being produced and how labor is always apart of both factors of capitalism and the economy. As a society we defiantly take things lightly and as consumers tend to buy unnecessary products which we eventually end up throwing away. As mentioned in Naiman's book overproduction is something occurring more often and not only is it costing the economy and the surroundings around us but slowly destroying the way we live. So as a society especially in the twenty-first century where things are so accessible to individuals to buy, we need to understand the story of how the object was produced, where it was produced, and from whom to understand the real cost of what you as a consumer buy. The bigger idea of knowing the impacts to our worlds have to face would be by understanding the real deal of change that is constantly happening. When change happens we need to think about where it comes from which has to be from the
