Improved Essays
In my society of 2036 the most problematic issue being technology, that slowly degrading traditional value, and communicating with others. The use of technology in my society became a major important to live itself; this great invention of us humans is rewriting how the human world was in the past. Technology in my society of New York 2036 has a great deal of diversity of technology for all kinds of use in the world. Some of the technology that we of 2036 have invented is the flying car, nanny machines, a spaceship that travels to mar, mobile mind (a device that is implanted in our eye), hologram TV that is always on in our house, and smart house that controls room temperature and machine that prepare meals and take care of everyday home …show more content…
In my society of 2036, no one has time for each other or even time to spend on their kids. There no kids playing in the public park, no afternoon sport of basketball, baseball, football, soccer, or the just simple laughter of kids on the streets. Every one of them is plugged into the latest reality game instead of living their own life. Every home and building are the same color, it seems that we of society 2036 with our great advancement had not only lost the traditional values of our ancestor, but also our individualism that made us unique and different from each other. Also, everyone is so focused on work that they simply forget to notice dew in the morning or even their surroundings of the environment. A famous book I came across in my study of our ancestor was Fahrenheit 451, which was so enriched with information of society and technology. One of the many quotes that impacted me in Fahrenheit 451 was the conversion between Montag and Clarisse "Bet I know something else you don 't. There 's dew on the grass in the morning." He suddenly couldn 't remember if he had known this or not, and it made him quite …show more content…
(1.50-3). that quote reminded me of how my society is today. Another part of Fahrenheit 451, I can relate to my society of 2036 was the society of Fahrenheit 451 where every building and house are the same color and also how Fahrenheit 451 society was completely empty with children 's laughter like my society and no children play in parks or afternoon. Also in Fahrenheit 451 everyone in his society is connected to the family who is on the big wall TV and because of the big wall TV, everyone in this society does not know to communicate with each outside of the TV. The difference between Fahrenheit 451 between my society of 2036 is censorship because in Fahrenheit 451 is all about censorship a quote between Montag and Clarisse “I 'm antisocial, they say. I don 't mix. It 's so

    The book Fahrenheit 451 and the movie “The Truman Show” have many correlations, and yet can still have major differences. Truman from “The Truman Show” was a regular guy who thought he was living a normal life. While Montag, on the other hand, was assisting the government in restricting citizens’ access to books. Also, both of their lives were very much controlled, but Truman Burbank’s life was controlled by a producer and Guy Montag’s life was controlled by the government like most dystopian societies.
