People in the future are apparently monitored every step they take, with the Thought Police being responsible for imposing the law in situations when individuals perform Thought Crimes. Judging from the leading party's motto- "War Is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength" (Orwell 16), it is obvious that the system is primarily interested in preventing the masses from doing anything else but being indifferent to their fate
As a collective organization, the only goal of the Party is to retain power, like a jackboot stomping on a face forever, while keeping the masses of proles sedated, subdued and existing at a minimal level. Ideology does not matter to the Party since its only goal is to "arrest progress and freeze history at a chosen moment," so that it will never lose power (Orwell 1989)
Unlike Nazi Germany it is not racist or anti-Semitic, although it is highly xenophobic and militaristic.

All of the regimes and movements that came to power in the 1930s and 1940s adopted "practices which had been long abandoned, in some cases for hundreds of years -- imprisonment without trial, the use of war prisoners as slaves, public executions, torture to extract confessions, the use of hostages, and the deportation of whole populations" (Orwell 1989).

Unless parents work on Macs, the logical choice is the PC. If the application is heavily design oriented and price is no object, the Mac is the choice (Frakes, 2006)
However, one manufacturer of Pcs never really dominants the entire market year after year, but instead, the Windows OS and Office 2010 from Microsoft, are the dominant programs in the global marketplace with over 92% market share. Mac's crash less, have superior electronics overall (one company controls QC and manufacturing, assembly and distribution), but Macs are quite a bit more expensive than PCs, even ones that are similarly configured (Mills, 2010)
Gone were the days in the late 1980s in which the popular view was that one would never ever need to use a Megabyte of memory; now we are seeing standard Gigabytes and inexpensive Terabytes.
