Technology Exposed In Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury

Advances in technology and mass media are detrimental to society. Portrayed in the book, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, sets an ominous and eerie description of their new and high-tech hounds that were supposed to be the elite hunting mechanic. Yet, in the text, there seems to be a malfunction that would inevitably lead to harming the wrong people. The excerpt, “Mind Over Mass Media” by Steven Pinker, and the metastudy written by Medical News Today, further outline the negative effects of the development of human knowledge. Although the new advances in the robotic hunting hound are meant to help eliminate the enemies, they started to pose a threat to Guy Montag. Constantly relying on the internet and media affects the way that people intake

Supported in the book, Fahrenheit 451, the bionic hounds started to turn their aggression towards their co-workers who are not enemies. As Guy Montag interacted with the hound, “He saw the silver needle extended upon the air an inch, pull back, extend, pull back” getting ready to attack, “The growl simmered in the beast and it looked at him”(Bradbury). Even though they were only programmed to complete one job, the hound was still ready to attack which posed a threat. This fictional exaggeration creates a tense and unsafe environment for people referencing how dangerous the new inventions are not so perfect. Scary enough, "This isn't the first time it's threatened me," exclaimed Montag, "last month it happened twice”(Bradbury). Constantly the futuristic creations fail to solitary do their assignment and show bits of menacing behaviors. Knowing the great amount of harm this bionic creature can do, it causes distress and is worrisome about safety. Experiencing major threats by advanced technologies puts people in discomfort and possibly life-threatening situations, and overall not benefit

The article, “Mind Over Mass Media” proves the internet to contain the same functions as other methods of retaining information such as books, yet online media are more addictive. “Mind Over Mass Media” claims the effects that media alters the way people process information by an expression that “neural plasticity does not mean the brain is a blob of clay pounded into shape by experience”(Pinker). Your experience on the web will not have a significant role in the way that your brain processes information to truly understand what you’re learning. Such as any search engine that would lower our intelligence, and instead force us to just skim over the knowledge rather than dive to its depths. Supported in the metastudy by Medical News Today, children are easily affected and include “low academic performance” as well as “delays in social and emotional development”(Legg). The frequent use of technology is constantly altering children's development and ability to grow more naturally. Using media, online entertainment, and search engines poses a threat to stunting adolescent brain growth. The consistent use of technology and media has been deemed more damaging to society and is only used for its
