In a world where dehumanization isolates society and progresses toward less human interaction, the world is moving toward a less human interactive society. George Orwell accurately described what would happen to society in the future in his novel 1984. He was able to explain what would happen to government in a future where citizens lost their ambitions. Thanks to new technologies, the world will soon look like it did in 1984. The main problem in today's society is that technology is advancing at a faster rate than human capabilities, where humans could perform the same tasks as machines. are today.

The government used newspeak, propaganda, and other methods to control the Oceanic population.

Orwell did a fantastic job describing the future of the world, and now people can use the knowledge he gave them to become more interactive with each other and act in more humane ways.
