(AGG) Imagine a society that has made extreme technological progress to the point it is available to the masseo, do you think that would have a negative effect on said society? (BS-1) In the book Fahrenheit 451 the people are completely immersed in media technology that they have obtained. (BS-2) As a consequence, the people are negatively impacted, they are made into unthinking creatures, only shells of human beings. (BS-3) But, to prove that it is the technology making the influence, it has to be known that there are people who live without much of the machinery. (BS-4) These people aren’t impacted in the way that the “average Joe” of the book are. (TS) Ray Bradbury's story contains a grim image of how technology will impact humanity,

(SIP-A) Montag is told about and has heard the omnipresent advertising throughout the society. (STEWE-1) When Montag is trying to memorize the Bible, he gets interrupted by Denham’s Dentifrice, an advertisement it seems most people have been trained to be accustomed to, "Denham's Dentifrice, Denham's Dandy Dental Detergent, Denham's Dentifrice, Dentifrice... The people who had been sitting a moment before, tapping their feet to the rhythm of Denham's Dentifrice, Denham's Dandy Dental Detergent, Denham's Dentifrice Dentifrice Dentifrice, one two, one two three, one two, one two three. The people whose mouths had been faintly twitching the words Dentifrice Dentifrice Dentifrice" (Bradbury 75). The point here is that people are twitching out the words, seemingly unaware.. Because they are twitching out these words, it shows how brainwashed they are, they’ve become total victims to the advertisement. (STEWE-2) Further, they have extreme amounts of advertisements on the roads and where there live, "two-hundred-foot-long billboards in the country" (Bradbury 7). People are always surrounded by advertising, which encourages more technology, showing how they are surrounded by their technological progress. (SIP-B) Further, these people have inadvertently shown their subservience to media with their “normal” want and use of such media. (STEWE-1) Mildred …show more content…
(SIP-A) Both Faber and Granger are able to have long, thought out talks, almost like monologues, unlike Mildred and her friends - they can connect with others. (STEWE-1) Further, when Granger has made many monologue-type talks, even since Montag first met Granger,"It'll be you; right up at the end of that street is our victim. See how our camera is coming in? Building the scene. Suspense. Long shot. Right now, some poor fellow is out for a walk. A rarity. An odd one. Don't think the police don't know the habits of queer ducks like that, men who walk mornings for the hell of it, or for reasons of insomnia Anyway, the police have had him charted for months, years. Never know when that sort of information might be handy. And today, it turns out, it's very usable indeed. It saves face. Oh, God, look there!" (Bradbury 141). Granger is able to talk, unlike Mildred and her so-called friends. (STEWE-2) Faber gave Montag wisdom that was said out with very many words, even paragraphs of chatter, “Number one, as I said, quality of information. Number two, leisure to digest it. And number three: the right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction of the first few... And I hardly think a very old man” (Bradbury 81). (SIP-B) Further, these few people are connected with
