Technology

The book Fahrenheit 451 has a lot if questions that we need to ask ourself  while  reading the book. One of the main questions. To ask if we are  becoming Montags society. With the technology that we have today I say that maybe we aren't that far from it . Now I'm not saying that there is going to be all out war. But people today and there phones the obsession with them is kind if crazy.People become zombies when they are in there phones they just walks around texting or playing game on there phone oblivious to everything around them. It's kind if like how Mildred was addicted to to the parlor walls. It shows that how people say that is crazy I will never get addicted to a Tv show like that but they are already in that process with there phones. People can already see the dangers with phones texting and driving is a major one and people still keep on doing it. Soon enough we will be letting all these cool technological advancements in society pass that really  are hurting society. Not all "advancements" are good for society.

you have to take a step back and realize are you becoming that person.
Because if you are you probably should change what you are doing and actually look at the round yellow thing in the sky called the sun. People become very antisocial with the society that we are livng in today. Some just soend the whole weekend inside playing videogames or watching TV. Even thoguh Breaking Bad is an amazing show you have to take a break sooner or later and actually go outside and play with friends.

  1. I completely understand that, but of course, Montag's society is a bit extreme. I remember seeing a picture of people in a train all reading the newspaper instead of interacting with each, much of this is probably to blame on our society's privacy beliefs. However, people are overusing and unnecessarily using them everyday, "It's kind if like how Mildred was addicted to to the parlor walls" (Singh) I agree, and maybe Mildred is possibly used to act out the antisocial teenagers of today who wander amongst the crowds tweeting about 1st world problems.
