EM Forster's The Machine Stops is the idea of ​​the world governed by a machine. Due to the inadequate conditions that people on Earth have created, they live underground where the machine rules their lives. The machine creates new concepts and ideas that ultimately change the entire world and avoid human interaction. EM Forster argues that the world will become catastrophic for all humans because it will be controlled by technology. The novels Orality and Literacy, You Are Not a Gadget and Regarding the Pain of Others support through ideas, concepts and examples the main idea of ​​The Machine Stop that technology is changing and will eventually rule the world. Along with the newspaper articles Is Google Making Us Stupid?, The Shallows, and So Many Links, So Little Time, I will tie together the concept that the replacement of technologies in today's world will continue to destroy humanization and materialization. Human beings naturally reflect new ideas and concepts on a regular basis. In Orality and Literacy by Walter Ong compares written culture with oral culture. The comparison leads to similarities and differences between primary orality and secondary orality. Ong uses the nature of sound to compare it to other “human sensations”. He states the idea that primary orality means speaking “words that are sounds that can be called or remembered only because the people of this culture have nowhere to look for them.” (NGO, 61). His explanation of the lack of text in oral culture explains why their sustained thoughts were related to communication. “Early people believed that thoughts should occur in strongly rhythmic and balanced patterns, in repetition or antithesis, in alliteration and assonance, in epithets and other formulaic expressions.” (NGO, 62). Like......middle of paper......it doesn't exist anymore. The title of The Machine Stop alone explains the fear of what our world would be like today without technology. However, this also explains how much more human interaction and socialization would occur today rather than people being so isolated. It reminds me of the Frankenstein story where the creator was so smart and yet Frankenstein overpowered him. The creator, who was initially in control, is now terrified and in danger. “We created the Machine to do our will, but we cannot make it do our will now. It has deprived us of the sense of space and touch, it has clouded every human relationship and reduced love to a carnal act, it has paralyzed bodies and wills, and now it forces us to venerate it." (Forster) If we continuously and gradually depend on technology, our society will probably end up like the story of The Machine Stops.
