This is the author’s way of expressing how families aren’t as close anymore. In the 1950’s families would do everything together. They would eat dinner together, listen to the radio, and actually talk to one another. Bradbury is saying that as technology is becoming more and more advanced, and there are more gadgets for people to use, there is less of a reason for people to socialize and interact with each other. “I plunk the children in school nine days out of ten. I put up with them when they come home three days a month; it’s not bad at all. You heave them into the ‘parlor’ and turn on the switch” (Bradbury 93). Bradbury is expressing that it is lethal that families don’t talk to each other as much , even when you don’t see them very often. He is saying that instead of being on technology all the time, people should talk with their families. Bradbury also acknowledges that since technology is the main part of people’s life they often do not know what is going on around them. “...the Army called Pete yesterday. He’ll be back next week. The Army said so. Quick war” (Bradbury 90). Bradbury is saying that if we don’t get off our technology and pay attention and ponder what our family is telling us, we will not be as close as families were before
