Shockingly many believe that Orwell hit the nail on its head with the predictions of modern day technology and surveillance. the truth is that those who believe that Orwell some how predicted the future are reaching for any connections they can get. From comparing telescreens to cell phones and the party slogans to the slogans of today there is a line that should not be crossed. Although broadcasting the warning signs of rising dictatorships and ways they get people to do what they want. all readers have to remember that this novel is an exaggeration and should not closely be compared to the world we live in today, in total fiction is fiction and truth is truth and there is no need to compare the two so closely.
