ENTRY 30(revision of entry 25)

In the book Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury, the author has added the effect of parallelism of today's society and his fictional society in which Guy Montag, the main character, lives. There are both similarities and differences to the societies, such as their society burns books, and our society ban them.The similarities are that our societies authorities are taking away our first right, the freedom of press.Things that you can compare from the fictional society and today's society is that there is a amazing technology, the technology of the Mechanical Hound, the hand key, the seashell, the green bullet, the parlor. Today's society is technical; we have small computers, big and flat televisions, movile phones, fax machines, ATMs.Things you can contrast are how much better their technology is. They have walkie-talkies and radios that fit in your ear instead of in your hand, Televisions that are used as walls instead of eye sores on the wall. Their way of executing someone is by the Mechanical Hound, a deadly robot with poison, apposed to our society's lethal injection .But,do you think that living in a technical world would destroy human relationships?.Technology is very advanced and seems to get people's attention. "You're not important. You're not anything" (Bradbury 163). This quote makes you realize that technology is taking over humans and the world has to do something about it.What do we have to do to prevent technology from taking over us? Do we have to risk our lives? if people read books, they will learn about the history of the world and aspects they don't understand. Books will teach people new lessons without the use of technology. Like I mentioned before, technology is also damaging ways of communicating. People focus more on technology than in their personal lives. If we communicate a lot more and become more social, we would probably get along better with each other and this will make fewer conflicts in the world.
