Technology In Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury

(AGG) Ray Bradbury wanted to show how technology is affecting those who use too much of it, in order to do that, he had to write a book with 2 types of characters, people who are caught up in technology and people who live a happier more meaningful life. (BS-1) Technology is damaging to people’s lives that are caught up in it. (BS-2) The characters humanity is being destroyed by technology. (BS-3) There are certain characters in this book that live a life without technology and you can clearly see that they are happier.

Faber is making technology for good uses not for the use of what everyone else does with it. “‘My wife says books aren’t real real.’ ‘Thank God for that. You can shut them, say, ‘Hold on a moment.’ You play God to it. But who has ever torn himself from the claw that encloses you when you drop a seed in a TV parlor? It grows you any shape it wishes!
