Use Of Technology In Fahrenheit 451

In. The society of Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury warns that the overuse of technology can lead to social disconnections and mental health. Concerns. This is also relevant to today's society because the use of social media has become a barrier in our relationships and is problematic to our mental health

Montag asks Mildred, “Will you turn the parlor off?” He asked, “That's my family” (Bradbury 27). Mildred responded by referring to that when she watches the parlor walls aka the huge tv she lacks to think about reality and that her real family isb the one that is asking her to. The overuse of technology in Fahrenheit 451 has turned people into non-talking, non associating people who don't think and have opinions of their own. No one has time

And the tv has replaced the perception of family time. She can’t talk to anyone or interact with society. She takes sleeping pills because she thinks it makes her happy, and keeps her content. It is her thinking that these sleeping pills are helping here that leads to her overdosing on sleeping pills so Montage is forced to call the police or ems to try to save Mildred from her sleeping pill overdose then technicians arrive at his home with two machines. Bradbury describes the first one as the black cobra then the guys stuck the machine down mildreds throat to suck the poisons from her stomach Bradbury was basically right in this story because Bradbury's view of technology was that: he thinks technology is a bad thing he says in the book, it will be dominate, meaning it will take over someone and destroy there life witch in this case it did. He also stated

Today’s generation of people think that a word called clout and popularity is such an important thing to be a part of today’s world especially in schools people base their lives off of how many people. Like their social media posts and feel goy from it when they get likes or hearts on their posts. I think social media is making people antisocial because it’s making adults and children insecure about themselves when people post hate comments for example. Most children and adults miss reading and understanding what people actually mean when a person says something because they forget actual communication skills and how it is to talk in person vs online because they don’t have the interactions they used to have with people. This is leading to depression increase of Suicidal rates and lowering the average age people commite suicid. And not only that but led to a major increase in school shootings in the Last 10 years. Because people will say anything online because they feel there isn’t major consequences as there would be in real reality not online they can get away with leaving hate
