Why Is Technology Important In Fahrenheit 451

Ignorance is bliss.In the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury he tries to send readers a message that is saying knowing everything isn 't always good. We shouldn 't always try to know everything because sometimes the truth hurts or it causes pain and misery. It warned what too much knowledge could do to us and the harm it could cause our world.

The world would be a much more peaceful place without knowing so much, as we wouldn 't be making harmful things that will ruin our grandchildrens lives. Today knowing

Knowing things is a privilege and you really aren’t supposed to take advantage of these types of privileges like people have. When you take advantage of these things you make harm for people and make everybody unsafe, therefore I believe that ignorance is
