The novel Frankenstein connects to the theme of technologies potentially negative effects. Victor, a main character, produces an inorganic creature that holds the capability of harming not only humans, but the world too. He walked in the first few moments he came to life and shortly thereafter proceeded to directly chase any desire he held. The monster served as an immediate threat to Victor\u2019s life by the killings of his brother, and wife. Not only did he manage to murder people, but he taught himself a language which he read and spoke. This lead to his discovery of how individuals communicate. The creature held so much power with these tools of sense, movement, and knowledge, that his ability to commit horrific acts could occur at any time or place. For the modern world, we are concerned with technologies ability to reproduce on its own. The novel, <\/span>Frankenstein, <\/span><\/i>demonstrates that fear when the monster demands a mate be created for him, this presents the worry that they will reproduce and their children could potentially hold stronger characteristics to eventually take over the human population. For a simple comparison, the robots that scientists have created today easily hold most human-like characteristics that involve motor functions, knowledge, strength, speed, and more capabilities we may not know of. The unknown stems from what is not present, consciousness. For the monster in Shelley\u2019s 1823 novel, there was no cognitive thought process as to the consequences resulting in his actions. Robots are the same way. That is the extreme danger when it comes to the developing world. The fact that we as humans do not act upon specific tasks because we follow morals and laws. Something genetically modified and created by man is not going to contain that ability to thinking through right versus wrong. What the creation desires is what it will strive to achieve and let nothing stop them until they get there, no matter the costs involved.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
