(AGG) It is true that people in the real world spend a lot of time using technology, but not as much as the people in Fahrenheit 451. (BS-1) People are so hooked on technology in this society that there is little to no interaction between people. (BS-2) Citizens across the community abandon what is truly important in life. (BS-3) Because there is no interaction and people forget what is important, this leads to them being unhappy and depressed. (TS) Without a doubt, the main danger with people in this society being hooked on technology is that people lose their human traits, and they struggle to gain them back.

That is why suicide is the main cause of death in this society. (STEWE-2) Mildred could not even remember that she was unhappy with the technology because she took so many pills.

Mildred knew that she was in pain, but she could not do anything to prevent her from overdosing again because she did not know that she overdosed. Mildred is not a normal human because every time she overdoses because she is not happy, she keeps wanting more of the technology because she thinks that technology fills up her soul, when it really does not. It leaves her empty inside. (SIP-B) Many people become defensive about what is said about their actions because they do not know what
