![]() In this paper, I will argue that humans are the colonized group and technology is the colonizing group. ![]() Postcolonial theory as Tyson puts it “seeks to understand the operations – politically, socially, culturally, and psychologically – of colonialist and anticolonialist ideologies” (Tyson 399). In this case, postcolonial theory can be used to analyze the relationship between humans and the technology that they have created. This relationship between technology and man is one in which one group is a slave to the other as in how humans are slaves to their electronic devices. Our cell phones tell us when to do things, what the newest trends are, and when someone wants to contact us. “The Veldt” and “Robbie” are good examples of how technology can take over our lives and control our actions. ![]() Authors like Ray Brad bury and Isaac Asimov could portray this concept in the 1940s and 50s before much of the technology that we have now even existed. We live in a world where we rely on technology so much that in a way it controls us. Technology is a very important part of our lives as almost every person with a cell phone would probably say. ![]()
