Technology In Fahrenheit 451 And Wall-E

Throughout the book, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the usage of technology is beginning the development of an isolated and detached society. The technological advancements have grown to be used as sources of information instead of factual knowledge being received from books or real evidence. The reliance of technology makes screens consume everyone into defenseless and vulnerable individuals rather than technological devices used as an assisting guide further displayed in Wall-E. The opposite effect of these electronics is represented in Fahrenheit 451 and Wall-E when the government is authorizing decisions for everyone as society believes dealing with opposing opinions will result in counterproductive complications.

When Beatty is talking with Montag he says to him, “A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it”(Bradbury 56). Beatty truly believes that books provide horrible insight to the real world and everyone should live blissfully, doing nothing to learn or advance in society. However, Wall-E contradicts this idea, as people seem more restless doing nothing all the time. This causes immobilization to increase. Additionally, Wall-E provides more evidence to the ongoing issue of technology taking control of lives. After the world turned into a dump for everyone and their belongings, the last resort was living in space which became home for over seven hundred years. Eventually the Captain’s irritation increased after watching many clips about how wonderful life on Earth could be. When discussing the unreasonable chance of traveling back to Earth he angrily answered, “That's all anyone on this blasted ship has ever done… nothing!!”(Wall-E). When being in space for many years, people are immobile and unable to do anything for themselves while waiting for Earth to have actual livable conditions. Moreover, Wall-E contributes information as caution to possible outcomes of what can happen to a planet if it is not cared for. The film and movie together identify the growing urge to be fully reliant on the support of technological

An article named “Tech Usage isn’t the Best Method of Education”, states the truth about how addicting electronics can be for some. It justifies, “Technology should aid and entertain, not consume your time or overall functionality”(Kim Randall). While technology is acknowledged as a source of pleasure, is it apparent that too much has an opposing impact on most people. Conversely, the firemen in Fahrenheit 451 enhance the government’s patrol on what should dominate society’s learning credentials. The captain, Beatty, is extremely dedicated to the century-long removal of books and encourages Montag to follow his role. Beatty explains to Montag, “Today, thanks to them, you can stay happy all the time,”(Bradbury 55). Beatty shows pride in the government for taking action against rules of technology usage in order everyone can avoid contrasting beliefs. Another article, titled “An Ugly Toll of Technology”, relives the effects technology is having on people without their knowledge as screens grow more addicting. It reads, “Technologies can cause us to become more impatient, impulsive, forgetful and more narcissistic” (Tara Parker-Pope). As time goes on, people are becoming extraordinarily attached to devices resulting in problems revolving around actions and decisions. To conclude, both supportive and disapproving sources observe
