Based on the quote from this chapter, "revolution doesn't happen when society adopts new technologies-- it happens when society adopts new behaviors," do you agree or disagree? Cite examples to support your position.
I fully agree with this quote. These days, revolution evolves because society needs new things for their new behaviors. Society doesn't happen because new technologies evolve, we produce the technology because of the new behaviors. For example, when the Internet was invented. The Internet is the infrastructure to support electronic mail. Once the Internet started to have its boom, the Internet was revolutionized. The revolution started when people realized that there was no other way mail should be sent. Behavior effects technology; behavior effects revolution. Society's behaviors have shaped the Internet. Our behaviors called for the Internet to be updated, to be faster, to explain more, etc. Our behaviors shape technology which shapes our revolution. Another example is the cell phone. Society invented the cell phone because we wanted phones that we could use outside the home land lines. Then, people wanted cell phones that had texting, so people invented texting. Now a days, people want faster Internet on their phones, so cell phone companies are trying to provide their customers with faster and better Internet. Our behaviors clearly shape our technologies. Revolution happens when society adopts new behaviors because we invent and shape our society by our new behaviors, having the Internet and the cell phone two prime examples.
