The vision of a better and organized life
In both documents, there is a strong "desire to correct" social problems by building a new world. Leaders think they can create a better life with a perfect plan. In the article,the author explains that the "median home price" in the area was around "US$1,1 million". Because of this situation Facebook plains to build "1,500 units of housing". That shows the company try to act like a savior by helping their workers who cannot have a their own house. They also want to create a place where people can live and work at the same time. A "village" with everything on it that is Facebook's project Willow Village is not just for offices. They aspire to include a "grocery store, a pharmacy," and even "open space" for the public.The company is trying to build a complete world. The goal is to make life easier so employees don't have to travel. Everything is in one place like the a dream of society If we look at the image of "New Harmony" from 1838, we can see a giant building wich is very tidy, clean and "symmetrical". It was built to "realize specific theological worldviews" The leader of New Harmony thought that a beautiful and organized building would make people better and more peaceful. The image shows a very clean and quiet landscape, which represents the idea of "total harmony" and a perfect world

The danger of total control and surveillance
We can see that these utopian projects represent a big danger for individual freedom and private life. First the text explains that historical company towns were created "to both house and keep tabs on employees." This means that the company is not just a owner, it is also a supervisor that wants to monitor the workers even after their work day. This creates a problem of surveillance because if the company is everywhere, you are never really free.
Furthermore, the author of the article is worried about the power of modern tech giants. He asks a very important question "do we want them controlling our physical environments, too?" This suggests that if a company like Facebook controls your house, your shop and your streets, they have too much power in your life. This situation can destroy "private life" because the company knows everything you do in your privacy.
Finally, the image of New Harmony also shows this idea of control through its architecture. The building is perfectly symmetrical and closed which looks as a very strict place or school. This shows that in a "perfect" society, everything have to be tidy and everyone must follow the same rules. It is not a place for personal choice or diversity.

Why these perfect society often fail
In the third part we can see that it is very difficult to keep a perfect society alive. The article says that many utopian communities "foundered through labor strife or lack of leadership." This means they failed because people had arguments about work or because the leaders were not good enough. It shows that even with a perfect plan, humans have problems because they have emotions and they cannot stay in "total harmony" all the time.
Also, the author calls these projects "failed utopias." This means that a dream often becomes a failure in real life. When we look at the image of New Harmony it looks beautiful and peaceful but it was only an "experimental" town. The word "experimental" shows that it was just a test and history proves that these tests often fail because they are too difficult to manage.
Finally the author thinks that these new "towns of the future" might have the same problems. A company can build houses and shops but they can’t force people to be perfect.

A conclusion?
To conclude I think that creating a perfect society is a beautiful dream but it is very difficult to realize in the real world. Leaders like the founder of New Harmony or the directors of Facebook want build organized places to solve social problems like the high price of houses. However these projects are often a danger for our private life because they give too much power to a single company. History shows that humans need freedom and that is why many utopias eventually fail because of a lack of leadership. A company can build houses but it can't force people to be perfect. Now we can ask ourselves if this dream will change with new technologies. Will the development of Artificial Intelligence and "Smart Cities" finally help us to create a perfect world or will it just create more surveillance and less freedom for us?
The second document is an article from www.theconversation.com published in 2018. It discusses "Willow Village" a project by Facebook in Silicon Valley. Facebook wants to provide housing and services for its employees to solve the problem of high price in California.
