I believe the Asimov is against technology. While technology can help us solve problems quicker, develop new programs, and streamline certain processes. There is something cold and impersonal associated with technology. In the Naked Sun solarians communicate through the use of holographic projections of themselves in which they can communicate with anybody. Slowly overtime generations become more and more comfortable with this form of communication and they forget that as humans we are social beings needing to interact with people on a daily basis. Another aspect of solarian culture affected by technology were the children. From a parents perspective one of the greatest things in life is having a child. Raising and spending quality time with your child is essential for the developing stages of early child hood. The children are kept at a farm without contact with their parents where they can interact with children there age and are under the watchful eye of robots with only one or two adults. They refer to eugenics program regarding the children making the best of the best what ever that may be in their eyes. They use their science and technology in order to create a master race of solarians. Then there are the robot slaves of solaria. These robots will wait on you hand and foot. They want nothing else but satisfy their masters every command while this makes them an asset to any household it also creates danger and uncertainty. As showed in the novel if you have complete control over the robots you can almost get away with murder unless you got ''Plain-clothesman Baley'' on the scene. There is something cold and impersonal about solaria due to its technological advancement. While I think that advancements in technology are a wonderful thing we have to ensure we possess complete control over those advancements. There is no substitute for human emotion no matter how great the technology.

These are good points. The secret to success for this unit has to do with supplying very fine-level details to back up your claims. It's easy to say that technology is cold and impersonal after skimming the back cover of the book. What I'll want to see in the essay are actual scenes or moments where we see criticism at work. Is the communication system or the child-raising system portrayed in a negative light? Where, when, how? How do we know Asimov isn't presenting these things as wonderful? What happens, or what does a character to say to help us be sure that he sees these innovations as cold/impersonal/bad and not cool/neato/great?

I don't think that Asimov is so against technology. I think in the book Asimov portrays what can happen if humans envelop themselves in technology as Solaria did. However, the planet Aurora is depicted as having a balance between humans and robots in which humans still have that interaction but also have robots to supply certain needs. Bailey exclaims how earth needs to be more like Aurora and not be afraid to explore the universe. The only way to explore the universe is through some level of advanced technology. In the book, Earth is depicted as the exact opposite of Solaria, according to bailey. Also, the humans in Solaria haven't lost their humanity completely. There is still a wide variety of emotions being portrayed. Gloria wants more human interaction. Doctor Thool, I think that's his name, turns out to be her father and he shows caring for her. Point being, a wide variety of emotions are displayed showing that Solaria, although seeming very cold and mechanical, still posses many human emotions and instincts which are primal by nature. So, technology is not all bad since without it, humans could not advance. And plus, it's human nature to create.

This weekend I was watching youtube clips that would probably be considered as crazy and radical for the ideas that it portrayed. The video clips were about how people that hold high ranking position today in America or all apart of secret societies and want are trying to set things up for the new world order to take place. Now the video can be a little confusing if you have never heard of the illuminati or anything about the new world order. However, the video clips were about how a movie named Metropolis came out in 1926, depicting how the illuminati create a new world order. The movie should people marching into labs to accept the NWO, and being converted into human part robot like Daneel. The people who didn't excepted it work in the underground levels as slaves like Asimov depicted on Earth. The people who did except the NWO, would turn robotic, and live robots on Solaria. Now, the clip main idea, was to exploit how celebrities in movies, the music industry and Hollywood, depict the scenes of this particular movie in their work. Also how they are all apart of the plan of to create the NWO and have accepted oaths to the devil. Now, I mentioned this movie, because the setting and ideas are similar to the movie Metropolis. The clip also showed how movies like I, Robot and Transformers are movies that are put out to make use feel like living would robots isn't far fetched. But looking at the clips made me wonder if Asimov was trying to write and describe to us how the NWO would be. I wonder if he was also depicting what it would be in his book, the way that it is said Beyonce' and Modonna does in their music videos. The creator of the youtube clips show Beyonce and Madonna performing the same scenes from Metropolis in their videos and concerts, and using the same masonry signs and symbols of the illuminati. To clips also shows various music artist and movies depicting all these robotic scenes with evil signs and symbols in them. So I wondered if that was Asimov's agenda as well, with he wanted to sure his believe and this ideal that this what the future will lead too. Humans and robots living together, humans becoming robotic; mixing animals with robots. Its all to deep for me and the idea seems radical but at the same time, the creator of those videos made everything connect. It was so much information that you would have to watch the clips yourself. Look up Modonna and Beyonce Ritual part 1 for further details on the video.
