Technology is around us every day and it has been progressing more and more every year, day hour, minute, and second. Fahrenheit 541 shows time and time again that technology can be very distracting and bad if not used in the right way.

That is a fear tactic used to keep the people in line such as how the hounds can be portrayed in Fahrenheit
