Ever since the integration of technology and social media, we have changed as a society in how we interact, make conversation, and go about our daily lives. In the novel Feed, by M.T Anderson, the possible consequences of our dependence on technology and social media are highlighted through experiences between several teenagers in the future. They all live in a world that is the equivalent of a hyped up social media, which has taken over the way we interact with people. It becomes evident that M.T Anderson does not view our generation with applause, rather with disdain and pessimism for what we are doing to affect our future generations socially, politically, and economically. From the beginning of the novel, the reader

In Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, mankind is portrayed as technologically advanced, and in turn, intellectually behind. The story follows Guy Montag, a middle-aged, disoriented, and unhappy fireman as he realizes the terrors of his world. In Bradbury’s dystopia, instead of saving lives, the firemen were the official “book burners”; they were the men who eradicated all possibilities of independent thought and freedom. From the ashes rose tvs, phones, and other gadgets the people turned to instead of becoming educated and knowledgeable . Throughout Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury demonstrates how the human race will increasingly link happiness and well being to their devices as a side effect of not having to put any effort into communicating in their artificial relationships.

Is the modern world becoming more like the thoughtless society of Fahrenheit 451? In 1953, Fahrenheit 451, a classic novel written by Ray Bradbury, was published. This novel contains two main themes: censorship and technology. Their society is so engrossed in new technology that they neglect connecting to the world and the people around them. As technology continues to advance in the modern world, these aspects become more apparent. While some people believe that the world of Fahrenheit 451 is different from the modern world, society’s reliance on technology and actions regarding censorship show otherwise.

“In the last 50 years, up to 100,000 Americans lost their lives due to inactivity leading to some sort of conditional disease such as heart disease [including the laziness within people of society]” (Wise 12). So many people have died from becoming lazy, doing nothing but go on their phones, devices, rather than doing everyday things. Technology has changed the way society approaches life, always depending on it rather than themselves and others. The society today consists of nothing but TV screens, telephone, smartphones, iPads, and items the 19th century would consider a dream to lay hands on. A book written by Bradbury presents lack of effort people put into their lives and society; Bradbury predicts how the future will become later on in the society. Becoming more similar to the laziness and ignorance in the novel, Fahrenheit 451, the society today struggles the society today struggles with dependency on technology which results to lack of social interactions with one another and failure in becoming literate with books.

Have you ever wondered how how much our life have changed since technology modernized? Technology has advanced so much that it is present everywhere in our lives and there is almost no place on the globe where this important trend of the last two centuries has not entered. Technology has taken control of the world. This situation leads to the decline of the society, including human’s ability to think. The book “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury provides the interaction of the protagonist, Guy Montag, in a particular way with the technology. Guy Montag is a fireman whose job is to to burn books. Fahrenheit 451 presents a world where, under the motto, “...the books says nothing” (Bradbury 51-63), people start burning them and bookless happiness is illustrated by the empty streets of the city, people could not detach for a moment from the screens that give the images of a perfect world. The science fiction film “Wall-E” (2008) is the story of the last robot on Earth, whose job is to clean up the trash left by hymans. Meanwhile, the planet had to leave the planet. As a consequence, the robots take the control of it. So, technology changes the ways in which people interact with each other that does not move humanity forward.

Do you think that living in a technical world would destroy society? Well, in Bradbury's novel, Fahrenheit 451, technology is very advanced and seems to get people's attention. "You're not important. You're not anything" (Bradbury 163). Fahrenheit 451 is explained as a dystopian literature. Such literature portrays an imaginary world where misguided attempts to create a utopia, or a socially and politically perfect place, results in “large scale human misery." (Critique by Michael M. Levy) This quote makes you realize that technology is taking over humans and the world has to do something about it. By creating an “utopia”, Fahrenheit 451 requires the government to take away citizen’s rights and freedoms to create the perfect society.

What if one-day technology becomes too enormous and popular that it can manipulate the human and turns the world into its own? What if technology becomes too mainstream that it can turn the human into its own slave? In the novel Fahrenheit 451, the story takes place in a society where people is a slave to the technology and literature is on the extinction. Ray Bradbury, the author of this book, wanted to warn the reader through this book is that technology is beginning to take over the human and weaken communication. He uses his book as a way to allude the importance of literature and how it’s an essential factor to the society.

(AGG) Humanity has had its technologically primitive days, but because we have advanced technologically, we have become slaves to our screens. (BS-1) Mildred and the rest of the society in the novel Fahrenheit 451 are held hostage by their screens and are greatly affected by it. (BS-2) In real life, excessive use of technology can cause grave and possibly irreversible damage.

Fahrenheit 451, written by author Ray Bradbury, could be described in one word – alarming. This novel, published in 1953, pretty much predicted the future. In the 1950s, the television and one of the first computer modems had just come into light. Ray Bradbury, in a way, predicted hearing aids, television screens and characters behind them that we could have conversations with, and people becoming emotionally attached to those behind a screen. Sound familiar? This is the world we live in today. Our current generation has become immune to the use of indirect socialization as opposed to direct socialization, and Ray Bradbury showed a genuine concern for future generations in the novel Fahrenheit 451. This novel provided a warning for the current state of our society, and our addiction with technology today as well in the years to come.

“Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master,” is a quote from the Nobel Lecture given by Christian Lous Lange in 1921 (IV, par6). Technology has enhanced and empowered media, creating a whole new framework. In times past media entered into our homes through newspapers or nightly newscasts; due to advances in technology, our homes are now overrun with various types of media and the media have changed how people view themselves and others. Although the access to media through technology has enhanced the lives of people around the world, many people are becoming addicted to their access to media and losing their identities, their relationships, and sometimes their lives in the process. Technology has outfitted people with a plethora

In recent years, technology and social media has caused controversy over our face to face communication and even our thoughts. People generally think that technology is all beneficial, but others think that it has some negatives. One person who thinks that technology is beneficial is freelance journalist Clive Thompson. In his 2013 article “Teenagers and Social Networking—It Might Actually Be Good for Them,” Thompson reminds the reader that technology doesn’t decrease face to face communication. He notes that humans should have self-control over technology.

In today’s society, the use of mobile devices has taken over our lives in every way possible.

Digital communication through today’s technology is empowering our society and strengthening human relationships through connecting us in ways that are impossible through organic human to human interaction. This exceptionally innovative technology was once only imaginable in science fiction literature, and is now a reality for most of humanity. We use this form of communication on a daily basis throughout the planet. We rarely stop to think about how wondrous and seemingly magical this advanced technology is, and we seldom ponder on how this new form of communication impacts us as a culture. Advanced digital communication not only enables and emboldens us, but could be potentially harming and hindering us as a culture as well as socially

We are fortunate to live an era where our modern technology makes life convenient in an abundance of ways. Our mobile devices are necessities for multitasking and getting things done on time with the added bonus of entertainment to lighten our moods. As time goes on and the next iPhone becomes more advanced and popular among the masses, our reliance on these technologies become more intensified. We take for granted the simple and quick easiness of looking something up, getting a ride, or purchasing whatever we want with the touch of our fingers. A user could make almost anything can happen right here and right now with this handheld device. Moreover, our innovations in modern technology is nothing short of amazing, and is only improving
