Lewis was closer to reality than either Orwell or Huxley IMHO.
I agree, but Orwell wasn't too far off.
Listening to classic music; rock, jazz and pop, I realized that there are a lot of songs that haven't been banned, but would be if heard today. It's not that the songs are actually bad, it's that people today (gens Y and Z) would neither understand the context nor care to educate themselves. This is self evident given the songs that have been banned and the huge difference between what was meant and how they're perceived. The worst part is that a lot of boomers and Gen x agree and they should know better because they were there in the time and context of the songs. Very sad.

Orwell was systemic, Lewis was departmental.
That might be because it's cheaper to manufacture just one model of keypad that works in both settings, rather than two separate models, one with and another without braille characters on it.

It's too tempting to read into your reply "water boarding, too".
There is a fuzzy white dog in the neighborhood that the owners let out onto the second-story porch. It'll bark once every two seconds for hours. Even the dogs that people are walking look annoyed.Can't "like" this, but can relate.

Maybe the owners can't stand it either, that's why they leave it out there.

It's called refusal to use one's brain. The real difference between a smart person and a stupid person is not IQ, education level, etc. It's how one uses what one has.
Examples:
1. A person with a low IQ and education who uses his/her abilities for good and doesn't forget how to learn is smart.
2. A physics professor with a PhD who pulls out in front of an 80,000 lb. semi doing 50 mph with about one car length between is stupid. A DOT cop once told me that he witnessed this very thing happen. Somehow, the truck driver was able to use combination of braking, downshifting and steering to minimize the impact and the physics professor's injuries were not life threatening. Thankfully, there wasn't a lot of traffic or other potential hazards within the danger zone.

Smart is curious.
Unless you are a cat.
Someone sent me this. 
- If you always think about problems, you’ll find more problems. If you think about solutions, you’ll see more clarity.
- Even if something hurts now, you’ll see it strengthens you one day.
- People come into your life for a reason. Either they help you, or you help them.
- Don’t take people's comments too personally. Others worry about themselves more than they care about you.
- If you want something, ask for it.
- Everyone sees the world their way, which often will not match your view.
- Rely on yourself so you don’t get too disappointed in others.
- Don’t be scared to try new things.
- You grow when you fix your mistakes instead of blaming others.
- Accept everything that made you who you are.
