The United States has utilized innovations and technological advancements to solidify its position as a global superpower. One of the greatest accomplishments the United States can claim is to have put a man on the moon in 1969. In describing the impact of the moon landing, historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. notes, “The one thing for which this century will be remembered 500 years from now was: This was the century when we began the exploration of space” (Launius, 2006). In the 47 years since the

Lyndon Baines Johnson, became President in 1963 after John F Kennedy was assassinated.

In the film Wall-E (2008) there are two main divides in technology that guide our interpretation of the film and its themes. There is the technology of the past, seen on earth, and the technology of the present, seen on the Axiom in the film. Both of these help depict the status of Earth and the potential fate of the future. We can also think about the future in two ways based on what the earth, as well as the humans have become. Using both of these lenses we will analyze technology and its role
