Examples Of Technology In Fahrenheit 451

164 Words1 Pages
If people learn one thing from life it is that time goes by quickly. We grow, get an education, reproduce, work, retire, and die. People then, build things around speed so that they can spend more time doing what they like and less time doing the necessary things that are not as pleasant. One example of this would be technology. Technology is a two for one package deal. It grows quickly, permitting us to depend on its behalf to do some work for us, and it also commits to entertain so we seek pleasure in its usage. With that said, a fictive work that matches this line of thought is Fahrenheit 451. The novel by Ray Bradbury is relatively similar to today’s society because it treats a civilization who idealizes speed and is addicted to technology.
