Every day the story is the same; people live fast, running blind with their life a blurb in the background. Society makes us hectic. People put blinders on and only see what lies straight ahead, what screams for attention. Ray Bradbury emphasizes this problem in his novel. Taking place in a future society, Fahrenheit 451 makes a point of expanding upon the speed at which people live and proving it to be absurd.
The True Environment of Technology In todays world the environment has changed, both the physical environment where people live and the environment where people learn. Technology causes people to forget about life outside themselves and confines them to passive activities indoors.

In Fahrenheit 451, people spend their days in “parlor rooms” with television screens on all four walls.
Imagine living in a world that is completely ruled by technology. “The Pedestrian” is a short story written by Ray Bradbury that shows how technology rules all of us.

Humans have an especially intriguing propensity for envisioning what 's to come. While the vast majority have taken a couple of minutes to consider where they 'll be in a couple of months, years, or even decades, others have dedicated their opportunity to envisioning about what will look like for all of humanity. Ray Bradbury, a prolific author, is one such visionary. The society depicted in Bradbury 's Fahrenheit 451 is so dependant on technology that the reliance on devices is obscuring their perspective on the world, turning them into selfish and inhuman individuals.

How is it that it’s so hard to communicate with one another face to face yet we can carry a twenty-four-hour conversation on our devices? Is it because we can be quick to delete our true selves and permit ourselves a sense of empowerment to out alter egos; which we project to others for our satisfaction and their expectations of us.

Our daily lives are now more and more convenient and pleasant since most of the tasks can be done more efficiently with the help of technologies like smartphones and the Internet; furthermore, some difficult tasks can even be done completely by robots. However, various social issues appear inevitably along the advancement of the civilization. People started to wonder whether they rely on technology way too excessively as an outcome when they realized one may feel lost and disconnected without technologies like the Internet and cellphones. It has become an universal debate: Is the technology transforming our civilization into Utopia?
