In the novel Jurassic Park, author Michael Crichton discusses how a man used technology wrong to create a park full of dinosaurs for money. The reason why relying on technology posed serious dangerous issues was because of the fact the power to create the dinosaurs was not understood and ultimately the park organizers knew nothing about the creatures they created until it was too late and people’s lives were in danger and deaths resulted. This can be seen through three direct examples in the novel, one being the electrical fences which stopped working due to a power outage and the T-Rex’s got out putting people’s lives in danger and killing others, second being by which the computers were used to track data but tracked the wrong data instead, and finally genetic engineering which used frog DNA making the animals able to change sex and …show more content…
This is seen in the novel when the park organizers didn’t think about the electrical fences capabilities if they were to fail, and realize to late when the power failed and the fences went down allowing the T-Rex’s to get out of their paddock. “The fence wasn’t electrified anymore!” (pg.205). Tim looked up and saw the tyrannosaur crashing down the cyclone fence with a giant hind limb (pg.206). With the fences going down and the T-Rex’s getting out, it posed danger to the general public. [Such as Ed Regis who had lost his life because of the dependency of technology]. He saw the T-Rex getting out and fled the cars and Tim and Lex and him ran into the woods and with doing so came in contact with the T-Rex. “Regis cowardly abandons the children and in doing so seals his own fate” (Sparknotes). This quote shows that because Regis ran away he paid the price of being killed by the raptors. In conclusion to this said example it is seen how the dependency on technology in Jurassic Park got people in dangerous and life threating
