The Sound of Thunder

The quote "Who controls the past, controls the future" by George Orwell means that the things that you do in the past would have an effect on what happens in your future. So the cause of the past has an effect on the future. In the story "The Sound of Thunder" and this quote relates because one of the guys had failed to stay on the path and went off and when he went off he had stepped on the butterfly which cause a domino effect into the future.

Cause- the reason for an action or condition
Effect-something that is produced by an agency or cause; result; consequence:
Affect-something that has an influnce on something
Chaos theory-a field of study in mathematics, physics, and philosophy studying the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions
Butterfly Effect- a metaphor that encapsulates the concept of sensitive dependence on initial condictions in chaos theory namely, a small change at one place in a complex system can have large effects elsewhere 

Technology!!

My personal opinion is that technology is and is not a threat to society. A reason that technology is a treat is because instead of writing a letter to someone and i think that writing a letter is more meaningful than say an email. Another reason is even instead of calling someone up to say hello and talk to them, now people just send texts. But it also is not a threat because sending a text or an email is faster than writing a letter and sending it if you want a faster response. Technology has sort of made us lazy because now with television people sit down on and watch it and aren't doing and physical activity so they aren't fit and you should or could be. How technology can affect the well-being of an individual is if you don't have it people might be lost without it but I'm my opinion i don't have to have my Ipod on me 24/7. But my phone i have to have it on me the whole time. So it may make a person feel lost without technology.
