What does Winston find unusual about Mr Charrington's upstairs room?
Perhaps because there was no telescreen: "He could hear the woman singing and the scrape of her shoes on the flagstones, and the cries of the children in the street, and somewhere in the far distance a faint roar of traffic, and yet the room seemed curiously silent, thanks to the absence of a telescreen."
What are Winston's feelings about the present time after he hears the cheerful announcment on the telescreen?
From the telescreen comes a loud announcement that, among other things, the chocolate ration is going up. Winston distinctly remembers that, just the day before, the ration was being reduced and he wonders if he is alone in this memory. Winston often wonders if he is the only one who remembers what is true, and often finds people to see if he is correct in realizing how things are changed by the govenment.

The telescreen breaks in to jubilantly announce a major breakthrough, bringing the war "measurably closer to the end". (Mission Accomplished!) Winston reacts with both violent pleasure, and a stunning insight that brings him to happy tears. He realizes..."He had won the war against himself. He loved Big Brother."

How is the world Orwell creates in 1984 similar to our world?
'1984' as history. One of the key technologies of surveillance in the novel is the “telescreen,” a device very much like our own television.
How does Orwell's vision of the telescreen which invades the privacy of Winston's home become a reality in out modern homes?
Orwell's telescreen in "1984" has similarities to modern smart devices like TVs, smartphones, and voice assistants that can record audio and video. These devices can potentially invade privacy by listening in on conversations, tracking activity, or even sending data to third parties without users' knowledge. The constant surveillance depicted in "1984" is echoed in modern concerns about data privacy and surveillance in the digital age.
