Tagging Competency

After reading the article, Dog's Dinner of a System and keeping in mind my subject dissemination of information through moving pictures. How easily we are swayed into purchasing new technology, even before it has been tested thoroughly. As soon as the advertising is in place folks are queueing up to acquiring it. This reminded of Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, 1984 by George Orwell and the silent film Metropolis by Fritz Lang.

Tags used to describe the book Brave New World are so numerous 2,427 that I had to cut out all of the single tags for the book except, "propaganda and mind control" which is my subject, and "you should read this".
