Hello. You forgot to reference the text needed to answer that question. The text is "Someone Might Be Watching - An Introduction to Dystopian Fiction" By Shelby Ostergaard

In the context of the text, the advancement of technology has made our lives easier and, often, pleasant, fun and light. This is very good for our society, even because this technology allows the advancement in scientific information, as in the health area, to help us to survive in a more comfortable way. However, all these advantages come with a cost and this cost is usually associated with the dependence we create on technology. This dependence often disrupts our daily lives and interferes with our life as bad manineiras.

This dependence promotes exaggeration in the consumption of technology. these exaggerators are often used as inspiration for the creation of dystopic fictions. Dystopic fiction shows an exaggerated form of our dependence on technology. This is done as a way to shock the reader and leave him attracted and scared about how our society can evolve if we do not limit our dependence on us.

The costs of technology also evolve issues of social inequality and health problems, often psychological, such as anxiety for example. However, the costs are still less than the benefits, which allows more technologies to be sought and established in our society.

can you show my a paragraph so i can read, then answer it? it would be thx!

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
