Innovation In Fahrenheit 451

Actor and businessman Ashton Kutcher said, “Any time you try to do something really innovative, most people aren't going to understand it until after they experience it.” Kutcher is saying that although something innovative does not seem good at the beginning, once it is experienced they will enjoy and understand it. Innovation is a part of the world that is influential in making a change occur. The definition is a new method, idea, product or other. This means it can be in the form physical objects, but it does not have to be. Innovation can occur in many different forms. In the short story The Flying Machine by Ray Bradbury, innovation is the theme of the story. In the movie Pleasantville directed by Gary Ross Mary Sue is the innovator in

Although innovation is dangerous, it is beneficial for societies because it helps develop and make civilizations better.

There is an element of innovation that is dangerous but the benefits from it outweigh the risks. In the short story The Flying Machine, the main character, the Emperor found the man who created a machine allowing him to fly. When the Emperor is speaking to him about the dangers of it, he says about his fears, “Some other man, who seeing you, will build a thing of bright papers and bamboo like this.

This is an example of innovation being used for evil but preventing contraption to be used in their

They are trying to introduce a new idea that many citizens are unaware of because they feel it will make the society better. This is a reason for the need of innovation because without it society would stay the same. In this case, Montag feels that if the society does not change than people will never be happy, and the problems will still exist. The intellectual people have spent a lot of time trying to change the society because they understand that it will be better for the people if there is a change.
