Risk of Technology
“Technology is best when it brings each other together.”- Matt Mullenweg. In the “A Sound of Thunder” and “The Pedestrian” written by Ray bradbury it shows how he sees the future with its advance technology. “A Sound of Thunder” is about a man named Eckels (protagonist) in the year of A.D 2055 and in this time period there is a time machine. There is also another man named Travis (antagonist) who is his tour guide. They both go back in time to the period where dinosaurs exist. In “The Pedestrian” there society tends to watch tv very much but a man named Mr.Mead (protagonist) does not watch tv. Also Ellen Goodman wrote “Primal screen” shows …show more content…
The risk of tecnology is that it disconnected people from the real world. It causes problem instead of making life easier. “A sound of Thunder” (Bradbury 410) The protagonist is the story named Eckels gets shot for falling off the path. In the story there is a time machine put they ask the person who will ride to follow certain rules. Also most importantly to not fall of the path. “Meanwhile, outside the tube, real families sit and wait for a commercial break just to talk to each other.” (Goodman 640) As she said as well families should communicate more and solving problems together. This causes people to change and get disconnected with the rest of the world. Instead people turn their tv on and refuse to listen to people. “And you have a viewing screen in your house to see with.” (Bradbury 646) The thing that ask the protagonist Mr.Mead is a Robot. In this story all people do is watch tv all day. Mr.Mead is walking outside like he regularly does and so one day a robot police officer stopped …show more content…
It becomes a risk more and more everyday because everyday someone out there is trying to create something new. In the stories “A Sound of Thunder”, “Primal Screen”, and “The Pedestrian” they all show the risks of having technology. Firstly having too much technology isolates people from the real world. From the story the “A Sound of Thunder” the main character named Eckels gets killed because he changed the future, in his society they have a time machine and because of this advance technology he changes the future and gets killed. Life is precious and you only live it once. In the “Primal Screen” she shows how people would rather watch tv then to speak to one another. Then in “The Pedestrian” a robotic police officer arrest an innocent man for not watching tv because everyone in Mr.Mead’s society is isolated from everyone else because all they do is constantly watch tv. The second reason is that it changes people. In the first story “A Sound of Thunder” a man named travis kills the main character named Eckels. Travis was angry with Eckels for stepping of the path and changing the future but they would have not been there if it were not for the time machine. As the saying states some things should just be left in the past. “Primal Screen” some people watch tv night after night. This causes people to become lazy chaing the person because we were not born to watch tv all day we were born to make a
