Fahrenheit 451 Technology Analysis

People rely on technology. Technology has become so necessary in the daily lives of individuals such that their lives depend and revolve around it. However, becoming too reliant on electronics lead to one’s downfall. Similarly, in Bradbury's novel, Fahrenheit 451, people willingly isolate themselves in their fantasies due to such devices. Thus, the limitations from technology and the minimization of human innovation and communication become apparent. The images on the TV screens influence and captivate human mind and nature, similar to the masses in Montag’s society because it suffices as an escape from the world, a sweet, ignorant paradise from the harsh reality of life, as well as a threat to education and humane interaction.

Mildred and her friends disregard any humane emotion or feelings and consume themselves in their false realities on the TV parlors, continuing like “monsters talking about monsters (Bradbury 94).” Due to technology, the women have become shallow and robotic. They can’t function like normal human beings. Their lack of awareness for the dangers and the world around them angers Montag greatly because the women choose to spend their get-together watching even more nonsensical commercials on TV than bothering to interact and engage in a meaningful conversation. They cut off from feeling or any sort of catharsis because they turn to technology for a distraction. Furthermore, in present day society, people are sometimes too engaged or busy with social media or technology to actually set out into the world and interact with real beings. Human interaction and socialization declines. In addition, devices like video games also stand in the way of one’s educational process. By engaging in such activities, homework or other important matters is left unattended and forgotten. Thusly, technology is a considerable threat to relationships because they captivate people into the virtual world rather than the back-to-Earth
