"The Human Factor" vs. "Cat's Cradle"

Reading “The Human Factor,” by Kim Vincente and “Cat’s Cradle,” by Kurt Vonnegut was really intriguing. Both of these author stride to address their thoughts and concerns about technology. Technology is progressing at a rate that is too fast for us humans to manage, as a result, I believe that both of these authors are trying to address their concerns and fears through their books. They seem to have a common purpose. Their books seem to ask a common question. The question that jump at me when I read these books is, is technology good, and do we need it? Through their books, both author suggested that we don’t necessary need technology and to some degree, technology is bad.
In Vincente’s book, he clearly makes his readers aware that technology is progressing way to fast for an average person to handle. Throughout his book, he discussed about the most simplest human activities to the most complex. He shows us how we are living day-to-day with technology how it affects us both negatively and postively, but mainly he discussed about how technology is bad. I find it to be really interesting because, his book was full of information that is shocking, distressing, and intriguing all at the same time.
In comparison to Vincente, Vonnegut composed his book quite differently. Instead of presenting his readers with facts and information, Vonnegut was able to express his thoughts and concerns about technology by presenting a story. The beginning of his book seems to have nothing with technology at all. As the book goes on, I was able to see that he constructs his book in a way that informs his readers abut what technology can eventually to do us.
Both of these authors show an objection toward technology but differently. Vonnegut composed a story while Vinncent’s book is full of facts and information. Both authors make really good points about technology, but they were somewhat complicated for me to understand. Honestly, when I read through these books, I had a really arduous time trying to understand what it really means.
Overall, I had really enjoyed reading these two books. They have really interesting and strong points. It somehow changed the way I see and think of technology now. It also makes me think twice and question myself if technology is good and if we really need it after all.
