Freedom is slavery. That sentence comes from the book "1984" talking about a world where countries (or territories) are ruled by conspiratorial and manipulating governments. Where the story is situated, the local government uses the image of Big Brother as an all-seeing being able to see who are true to the system and who should be eliminated from it. Our ruler, the phone, is not pictured as dramatic but it is true that it is rapidly overtaking our world, and whoever does not become an adept of it gets lost in the past. It uses any means possible to control every moment of our lives and is easily succeeding. The creation of the portable phone and the office phone brings it to new heights. But that's not all, slavery is reaching its highest level as the first cellphone finally came out. Our ignorance of its power gives it even more strength.
