Technology has advanced human civilization undoubtedly. Some think technology will destroy life as we know it in the long term. “There Will Be Soft Rains” is an example of what technology could look like in the future. The technology in the story would be beneficial to humans, but there aren’t any in the story. The reason for that is technology. One example of technology in the story was a little cleaning device that wipes up every mess that is made. This is a positive piece of technology that is not harmful. Another positive example is the stove that automatically made a gargantuan breakfast, that would sadly never be eaten. There is many examples of technology that are unharmful in the story, but didn’t have anyone to benefit from them.
