1)    An endorsement of technology by the media essentially means that the media supports the use of technology. This is clearly shown through the commercial use of the retina scanners. Malls and billboard advertisements use these scanners in order to identify possible patrons. When the individual’s eye is scanned, an advertisement calibrated for that particular individual is displayed. This technology can also be used to track down culprits and runaways. Another endorsement of technology is shown through the public’s perception of the pre-cogs. There are advertisements advocating for the passing of a proposal that makes the pre-crime division go national. This demonstrates that the media supports pre-crime and the use of the pre-cogs.
2)    This term is a part of our society today. Our society endorses technology constantly, from the acceptance of the car and electricity to computers and ipads. Everyday new technology is accepted by our society for better or for worse. Without the media endorsing technology, many products or services we take for granted would have fallen by the wayside.
3)  If the technology of pre-crime was in existence and the media endorsed it, then a man wouldn't have been stabbed to death in Lakeview.
