| Summary: | Technology is undoubtedly a field and a pragmatist that is constantly evolving. It is being discussed particularly
today that the technology that has built itself on the ongoing innovations or developments has also damages, such
as benefits. Because every technological new development and innovation affects the field of communication, and
communication technologies get fixed day by day. This situation has led to utopian and dystopic approaches to
technology and communication technologies that are very important. Utopian and dystopic series which conduct
a situational investigation and their increase, draw attention to the importance of this situation. It is important to
emphasize the excessiveness of technology over artificial intelligence and even the questioning of the existence
and the universe at Westworld, while many useful technological innovations seen in The Jetsons years ago are in
daily life today. The subject of this study is to discuss these approaches through examples. For this reason, the
Westworld series, a dystopic example and The Jetsons cartoon, a utopian example of the study will be examined
to analyze relevant approaches, and the impact of technology on daily life will be discussed. The method of study
is hermeneutic approach. The problem of the study is to recognize that the technology which generally have
positive aspects, should be seen its excesses. |
