After watching the Electric Dreams series which was broadcast on BBC 4 in 2009 it has made it clear how technology affects society in a huge way. If a computer, TV, cooker or fridge is taken away from a family it changes the way they work and live together.
I recently experienced this for myself as when moving house there was no internet connection, it made me realise how much everybody relies on the internet to entertain themselves in the evening. We only had one television set up, with the whole family sat around watching. This was a very strange experience, far away from the independence of our own rooms with our own technology to isolate us. Although it was quite cramped in the room, it made us all realise how dependant we are on technology, we even had a conversation with each other!
