Are we heading toward a new religion around technology as predicted by thinker and writer Huxley!

Updated: Jul 27, 2022

The way man is trying to play as God through technology, consequently, technology is becoming more like a blind belief or faith. Technology is providing instant sensual and materialistic gratifications and kicks of mind in the name of happiness


Alduos Huxley had predicted that in future, the dominant class and political powers will promote and use technologies for enslaving and controlling citizens as faithful followers. His prediction has come true with the advent of digital technology and advances in artificial intelligence.


Here are three quotes on technology by Huxley to ponder over.


  • Technology is so harmful and so disturbing in this society that the people are not themselves

  • People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.

  • Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.


Three inspired haiku:


Here is society

Obsessed with technology

And self-absorbed life


Technology has-

Created faith in materialism

As new religion


Mindless society -

Addicted to technology-

Elite zombie class!
