Technology In Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury

Technology, it provides entertainment and something to do, but if you get too attached to it, you won’t notice anything else, but it, this is what happened to the society in the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. The society in this book is so attached and addicted to technology that, that’s all they care for. The technology has affected the society’s way of life and has turned it into a way that is filled with distractions. The society can be and is much more healthier, when they don’t have the technology. This society in Fahrenheit 451 is deeply affected by the technology they have.

The society has become so attached to the technology that, that's all they care about. They are so attached to technology, that to them the technology

Montag is sick and the parlor is disturbing him and he asks Mildred to turn it off, but Mildred doesn’t because she thinks of it as a family.

Mildred won't even turn off her parlor when Montag, her husband, asked her to when he was sick because Mildred has been attached to it for a long time, that now it feels like the one and only family that she has ever had.
