Quick Write: From what I have read so far in 1984 the society is depressing. It seems that the government is in control the everything which is overwhelming to the people.

Final Reflection: My response to the Apple commercial is that Apple believed they can change the future with the Macintosh. This impacted 1984 because people were looking forward to the new technology to change the world instead waiting for 1984 to change them. Apple was trying to convey people to buy the computer and see how 1984 won't be as they believed.
