These home tv’s are big tv’s that cover up each side of the wall and they can watch tv in the middle of the room. In the book the normal person in society has a home tv because that is where they can distract their brain washed minds from reality. After Montag has been awaken from his brain wash he started to feel how intense his brain wash room was. As he watched the show on the tv he noticed the three walls, extreme volume, and how well setup the room was made. Bradbury quotes “And it was indeed remarkable. Something had happened… ‘That’s all very well, “cried Montag, “but what are they mad about? Who are these people? Who’s that man and who’s that woman? Are they husband and wife, are they divorced, engaged, what?” (Bradbury 43). In the novel Montag is confused because he is starting to empower his feelings. He realizes that the tv room is amazing but after he starts to question who these people are and why is he watching them. Being awake from everything Montag begins to utilize his brain and he wants to connect things. In the society of being brain washed nobody ever formed thoughts they just distracted their minds all the time from asking questions. So, when Montag can finally use his mind he feels lost on what the reality of his life was. Bradbury is explaining through this that our technology can also be a glorified
