Phase 2 Blog 1

Technology And War 

"The book was to be an account of what important Americans had done on the day when the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan." The development of the atomic bomb destroyed thousands of lives and will be remembered in history. The author Kurt Vonnegut Jr. writes this book showing what people were doing on the day of the dropping of the atomic bomb.In my previous blogs of technology, nothing ends good with the development of technology. Technology always in some way destroys society or creates a dystopian society, Vonnegegut captures this masterfully.  Vonnegut shows that Felix does not care about human life and that he only cares about the development of society. He doesnt care at all what happens to him. This is a representation of the future, technology, advancements of weapons will kill hundreds of thousands of people.
