Even though technology is very useful, we still overuse it and have become dependent on it. Although, books aren’t exactly valued in our society as much as I wish it was, they still are proven to be useful at some points.

The book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is proven to give awareness on how technology is replacing books.
Fahrenheit 451 Technology By: Izzy Leeper Imagine a world with technology that is so advanced that you can talk to people on a wall-sized TV screen like they are standing right next to you. With modern-day technology, we don’t have the opportunity to see such advancements. The technology in the book Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, is much more advanced than today’s technology. They can have robots who know everything, far more advanced medical technology, and interactive TVs.
Another technology used in Fahrenheit 451 is the mechanical hound, the mechanical hound is used to show the physical power of people. The hounds job is to stop people from doing anything that their society does not approve of. Some of the things in the book relate to some things that we have today. Like the mechanical hound is like the robots for mankind, today, we have robots in our factories/work places. When talking to his boss, Montag puts an earpiece in his ear from Faber, and today, that is kind of like walkie talkies or

Introduction In “Fahrenheit 451”, published in 1953, Ray Bradbury describes a lot of technologies predicted that did not exist at the time the book was written. These technologies were all come from Bradbury’s imagination. However, in the 21st century, some of them eventually do exist today, achieving Bradbury’s prescient predictions.

Technology plays an important role in most societies. In Fahrenheit 451 it plays so much of a distraction that it changes the course of how the society is run. Mildred struggles with her use of technology and having her family. In Fahrenheit 451, people view technology as if they are family.
Entertainment has sure changed from the 1900s to 2016. Apple watches, Smart TV’s, the Galaxy 6 edge, all these iphones, etc. If you think about it technology has changed so much these past years.

In Fahrenheit 451, on page fifty-nine, it points out, “You must understand that our civilization is so vast that we can’t have our minorities upset and stirred.” The author made the book warn us about our future society, which allowed the reader to look at life in another perspective. This perspective consists with having technology used in a different manner and by having our education so low due to books being illegal to have. In the book, there are several characters that stand out more such as; Guy Montag, Clarisse, and Beatty. The author uses his characters to show the different sides to having books, so much technology, and lack of education.
Technology with the help of highly intellectual people can advance at a pace faster than one can imagine. Although technology has benefited so many people across the world, the addictive and controlling factor it has preoccupies people from many other important things in their lives. Not only is this a hard thing to stop, but people become so used to their technological demanding lives that most do not even want to attempt stopping more advancements.

Collectively, they suggest that technology is distracting people from living their lives to the point where some can no longer take it, but trying to stop it has become
