Things back in bradbury’s world was different than the world today. Some things are different, like the people today are expanding the way they are thinking and doing things in bradbury’s world. The technology and transportation is almost limited in bradbury’s and in today’s world you can have and use whatever you want in all ways. Technology is updated today 's world and in bradbury’s world it is like they have the old technology and if they do have technology it 's not that interesting or amazing like in today 's science ways. The way that their world is better or worse is complicated due to the way they think and the things they use. They have their own way of sounding and looking like the olden days but in a way they have it in future …show more content…

People have their own way of thinking and doing their own things than following people. People like to be unique and be a leader not a follower and make their own ideas and figure their own problems or ideas, not follow someone else and trying to make it better or something along those lines. If it wasn 't for the leaders with their own mind we would be going into a deep hole and going towards our ruin, like bradbury said. With everything new, people get dumber and dumber i think, cause they forget the fact that they are not paying attention to what the whole world needs and to reduce the amount of problems that we have today. Bradbury’s story almost has like his own world. He doesn’t want anything like we have today, he wants to tell the story in a different way and make you think differently than if he told us in like futuristic way it would be better and in a way worse. If it would be modern day, i feel like it would make sense more and make it easier for the people who don 't catch on to the book. The book is old, and i feel like modern day people don 't understand the way he is trying to get his point across. Technology today has changed dramatically and has been a impact to our society. It helped a lot and made things alot easier. I think if we has that more towards Fahrenheit 451, we would get to know the book better and enjoy it more. The more modern the better i guess. And this is why i think bradbury is wrong and right in this way of saying ‘’dumbing us down’’, And making the world different today than it was a
