Technocracy becomes Technopoly...

In Neil Postman's chapter of From Technocracy to Technopoly, it formally discusses the type of society was held in 1700s to 1800s of England. Technocracy is significantly placed in the people's religious beliefs, rituals, and etc.
When Neil Postman wrote the book Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology, he had in mind the idea of showing the faults of technology in our lives and showing us how to combat the fact that we as a society are becoming dangerously dependent on our technology. His basic idea is that the United States has become a "Technopoly," a dangerous state of affairs where our culture, our ideas, and our very lives are becoming subservient to the technology we use. Through the book, Postman intended to show the dangers of this idea, and how we could stop them.
He intended to accomplish this by first giving a history of our civilization, especially our nation, in terms of our ascendency from a tool-using culture through "technocracy" to Technopoly. After this overview, he would get to the meat of his overall theses, by discussing the world in which we live and how impossible and strange it is. Following that he attempted an analysis of the now-defunct defenses against Technopoly, such as school and religion. Then he continued by providing specific examples of how technology has worked for the worse in computers and medicine. He then made a very lengthy discussion on so-called "Invisible Technologies," the covert attempt to turn human nature into an efficient, countable machine. He raged against such things as the zero, the public opinion poll, and statistics. After a discussion of the ideas of science solving all our human nature problems (he ridiculed the so-called social scientists) he ended with a discussion of the loss of meaning through technology and finally, in a single chapter, what we as people can do to stop the spread of "Technopoly."
It also refers to Brave New World where the people in the society become overly dependent with technology. It seems quite unreal to have an artificial but "efficient" way of producing humans in a scientific way. It only shows that this novel is a perfect example of technocracy evolving into technopoly. Technopoly is something of which technology becomes a vital and positive source and system to the people.
