This collage was created to show various subjects as they have become in the 1950s. Perceptions of Men & Women are explored as well as technological advances, and new &  developing methods of communication.

New technologies are featured, a tape player, a television set, and an improved vacuum cleaner.
All signs of an evolving world, technology bettering the world for mankind.

Methods of communication are explored as well, the television set, the presence of a busy theatre, a newspaper, and a large comic poster.
While some of these are not new, they are all being developed and are improving in accessibility and quality.

The people displayed here show a leisurely lifestyle, having time to focus on their own appearance and health is a luxury that has become increasingly affordable to everyone due to advances in technology, and commercialism making technology more accessible to the masses. 

There's quite a gender bias on display, the man is depicted as strong, and the woman is objectified. 
Even in the composition, the man is stood alone, exposed and powerful. Whereas the woman is set aside, almost grouped in with the background furniture of the room as decoration.

Hamilton acquired the images for this collage from American magazines, which would account for the more positive, hopeful, and optimistic viewpoint of the images. Especially in contrast with Hamilton's homeland: post-war Britain.

Post-war America saw an economic boom which launched the consciousness of the time into the atomic age of futuristic space-age technology.
This greatly contrasted with post-war Britain which suffered greatly after the war, there was war damage to repair, continued rationing, and a massive war-debt to America which would not be fully paid for another half-century. 
The British post-war experience would be a grim reclamation of what once was.

For my quick attempt at a modern reinterpretation, I've emulated the rough composition of things while substituting modern equivalents where possible. I may have exaggerated a few concepts in some places for effect, as no doubt the original does.

Wireless technology of convenience is abundant in this collage.
Through the window, the cityscape is lit, but empty of human activity, instead it is lousy with delivery drones.
In the home, the vacuum cleaner is replaced with a robot, there's a phone upon the otherwise barren table, and there's a smart-home device present.
Even the man of the house himself has his entire view of the world influenced with wireless technology, a VR headset adorns his visage.
​
The world of convenience is built further by the myriad of take away boxes, slowly stacking up amidst the furniture.
The furniture itself is sterile in its design, simple and clean.

The ceiling, as in Hamilton's original depicts a view of a possible future. A future technology allows us to dismiss, and ignore due to more immediate concerns.​
My world's on fire, how about yours?
That's the way I like it and I never get bored

Segueing from very 1990s & 2000s aesthetics, the walls of this room are both images of virtual worlds as to show the encompassing nature of technology in the modern world.

The woman, as I interpret it, from Hamilton's original work is objectified significantly and while the argument could be made that women are not objectified as much in the modern day, it's hard to dismiss it outright. So, I've decided to depict the woman in my piece in an objectifying manner, perhaps even more so than Hamilton's original work.
She's in greyscale, lacking values outside of a single tonal scale, she's wearing body-forming attire, and most noticeably (I'd hope) her face is that of a statue.
