to resist the temptation, I pressed it to find a little compartment slide out of the side of my walkie talkie with a tiny man inside. He smiled, waved, and then slid back into my toy in order to operate it. Completely taken by surprise, I was unable to react. Immediately afterwards, I scrambled to press the button again. I had so many questions to ask the strange man. How does he live in my walkie talkie? Does he ever come out? Are there 2-inch tall men in each of my toys? Before I could find the button

Technological Determinism is a reductionist concept that entails that technology is self-evident, and shapes the identity of any given society. Though this concept is subsequently compelling because it is rather one-dimensional, the modes in which we interact with technology are determined by several factors, rather than the technologies themselves. Technological Determinism is a concept that does not credit human capacity, and this is why it fails to hold up. Technology itself is prescribed an identity
Hings invented the walkie talkie. Its first purpose was for pilots to communicate with one and another. But once WWII started the use for walkie talkies exploded. The walkie talkie was mainly used for communicating from the war zone to base. At this time, the walkie talkie was a large backpack with one long antenna, a headset going to the person holding the walkie talkie, and a phone for another solder to call in coordination. This type of walkie talkie was also used in the Vietnam War

One Day at Work Every day, I followed the same old routine. Get up, eat breakfast, find my work vest, get dressed, leave. White polo shirt, jeans, and sneakers. Little red PharMor vest. Every single day. No variation, no chance for change or creativity. When working somewhere as mundane as a grocery store, you almost pray that something exciting happens to you during the day. But never does a cashier hope to encounter a tremendously irascible customer, the way that one summer day turned
packs his baton and walkie-talkie onto his belt. Everything looks all rustic and decaying like the company didn't even hire maintenance. The paint on the walls is chipping and cracking, same with the cement floor, which he could feel through his shoes that it was cold. This could be a good location for a horror movie or game he thought to himself. Brent checks the security monitors to locate where his partner is at. He then attaches a mic piece which connects to his walkie-talkie onto the shoulder
They usually have an earpiece in their ear. That earpiece is actually connected to some sort of walkie talkie. This makes it easy for them to communicate with each other without using an intercom, keeping the store professional.

"Ooh, I'm telling mum," my sister Diana said. "Not if I beat you until you can’t." I said crudely. I was anxious and scared. I broke my mum's lawn gnome and knew that she had warned me of touching them or else she would make me into a lawn gnome. I also knew that I would not only be in trouble for breaking of the head of the orange beard, red checked and very plump gnome, but also for playing hooky with my Dad’s RC car. Later that night I got three extra spankins for threatening my little sister

that demonstrated that technology is not always necessary, is Uncle Enzo’s ability to win the Vietnam War and his rise to the top of the mafia, without any use of technology. Uncle Enzo shouts to ;;;; “Take off your headset. And turn off that walkie-talkie. You need your ears” (Stephenson, ).
