Technology Exposed In Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine

Before and during the Second World War people were fascinated with flight, the speed and the idea of flying high in the sky has kept people interested. Bombers and fighters alike both change dramatically in the twenty years after the Great War. From cloth wings to metal wings planes became bigger, faster, agile, and can hold a lot more fire power. The air war has changes significantly since the First World War. During the First World War bombers played a big role in the air war and after it left many questions whether it is the way to win wars. There has been speculation that future wars would be won by bombers and it can crush and the enemies at home and also the soldiers. Both book, Wartime by Fusslle and Why the Allies Won by Overy explain in depth what was the actual outcome of bombers and their roles before and after the war.

Everyone enjoys the summertime. In Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine, Douglas Spaulding, a twelve-year-old boy, wakes up the town to summer. A few days into summer, he suddenly realizes his existence and livelihood. Not merely existing and taking up space, Douglas notices his surroundings and slowly begins to understand life. How to manage and control one’s life on earth exists as one of the main issues Doug faces. He struggles in finding how to live life and using his time on earth to his full advantage. In Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine, the motif of time shows the struggle between life and death, serves as an object of change, and reinforces one’s short time on earth, suggesting that quality trumps quantity.

WW1 changed Aviation from small little planes to long range bombers and fighter pilots. This war added a air force to most countries which also made it so we would have big planes and more dangliest planes. These planes would set the corse to modern planes.

“Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master” said by Christian Lous Lange. The new improvements of technology is now being used in people's everyday lives. Whether it is replacing something, creating something new, or personal entertainment, it is constantly expanding. But, this may not be improving people's overall lives in a positive way or could soon reach an extreme. In Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, the society loses its power and purpose because individuals lose their ability to love a full life involving relationships, meaningful activities, and rich ideas.

In WWI, planes were works in progress causing many deaths, but in WWII those weapons were worked on and made much more reliable and effective. For example, in WWI there was the Aeromarine 39 that wasn't a very reliable plane, but

In the book, Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury predicts the ways of present-day American Culture and presents to the readers his fears of what the American society may become over time. Facets of his prediction appear in the everyday lives of American citizens, with certain aspects of Bradbury’s fictional world sounding astoundingly similar to America and its society. Bradbury predicts what the negative influences of technology can do for a society. With this negative impact, humans have deteriorated in nearly all aspects of day-to-day life, including intelligence, brain capacity, humanity and much more. The author emphasizes many of these aspects, which are a result of negative technological influences; society may become extremely impulsive and inhumane.

Technology is everywhere. There is not a single circumstance that can be done without relying on technology. People have become greatly dependent on using technology, that without it the world would crumble. Sometimes technology can be an exceptional tool for learning and assisting in everyday life, but when there is a point where it takes control. Bradbury would say there is a fine line between useful and overused. This is proven in the short story “The Veldt”. Through the use of personification and setting, Bradbury conveys the idea that the overuse of technology can lead to the separation of family.

Everyone suffers loss at some point in their lives but, it affects people differently. Some are more vocal about their feelings than others. Nevertheless, the pain of loss can push growth and maturity in everyone. The harsh sting of loss however will never be as strong as the love from friends and family. In Ray Bradbury’s novel Dandelion Wine, the citizens of Green Town, Illinois endure loss in its many forms. There is the death of a loved one, extraction of an object no matter how insignificant, and the end of youth. These are portrayed during the events of the book as they happen to twelve-year-old Douglas (Doug) Spaulding.

In a world that is constantly learning about and improving technology to make lives easier, one can definitely agree that it is amazing! But one problem that is growing right beside the technological improvements would be the basic person’s lack of social standards and social roles to a point of social isolation. Bradbury predicted this to happen over fifty years ago, and he was not too far off. Though he thought that mankind would be further along than where people are at today, he was not wrong about the side-effects of this world. As Bradbury thought, if people do not change their dependence on technology, people will begin to lack social standards be becoming more isolated, losing the need for basic social roles, and losing the knowledge

In this fast-paced society where our lives are surrounded by technology and is apart of our everyday lives, it of utmost importance that we consider and are able to understand the role of technology, not only in our lives but also in society.

People can control the effect that technology has on them; they can use it as a utensil to their advantage, or as a weapon to their own destruction. Technology is an indispensable tool that civilization needs in order to obtain knowledge and advance as a society, not just the television and ear buds that Ray Bradbury warns his readers about. Ray Bradbury expressed his feelings about

After reading Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury, I became more aware of the magic of summer and what it means to truly live. The novel gave me a new perspective of thee idea that life is like summer where you’re alive and feel free, but how it sadly doesn't last forever.

In the novel, Douglas strives to enjoy his summer and to live his life to its fullest. In his adventuring, he becomes more aware of the nature of the world and tries to make sense of life and death.

In World War 1 air power was an addition to the war, but it didn’t change the outcome of many important campaigns of the war like World War 2 did.
