In school we found something out about the book "1984". After this we
listened to the "Internet Song". The book tells about a state which is controlled
by a special party, there's also a love story in it. "The Internet Song" is
about the disadvantages and a few advantages of the Internet.
First the song and the book have the control in common. In the book the
gouverment, espacially a party, control the people live in the state. The song
talks about that everybody can watching you.
Another comparison is that in both is no freedom. The people in the book
can't do anything what they want. In the Internet you aren't free at all. You
cannot look at every page, because the connection can have faults.
In the two texts the good ambiances are changed in unhappyness. When you are
in the Internet and for example you have to wait for a long time you can
angry and unhappy. The goverment destroy the happy feelings of the people in the
book, too.
Finally one can say that the book "1984" and the Internet Song have many
things, e.g. the control or no freedom, in common.
