Everyone uses some sort of computers in their everyday life, whether it be buying groceries or driving a car.
To many people, technology is a great thing. Instead we let machines do the work for us. Though Orwell has some very good ideas, most of them outdated in society today, while Huxley's ideas are growing to be more and more present in society as new technologies slowly wean us off the ideas that we must work hard to get good results. Though neither of these ideas on which the novels are based have come true for us, he is showing us why one of them has a greater meaning, and even more, a greater chance of actually coming true.
In Neil Postman's passage in which he discusses the differences between Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World, it is obvious he is telling us who's novel is relevant these days.
