    “There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar;...” These are the thoughts of Lord Byron, a british poet, on experiencing the power of nature. A similar sentiment is seen in Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 as one of the main themes. The thought is expressed a little differently, but it can be seen in many situations throughout the book.

    Fahrenheit 451’s Relevance to Today Fahrenheit 451’s relevance to today can be very detailed and prophetic when we take a deep look into our American society. Although we are not living in a communist setting with extreme war waging on, we have gained technologies similar to the ones Bradbury spoke of in Fahrenheit 451 and a stubborn civilization that holds an absence of the little things we should enjoy. Bradbury sees the future of America as a dystopia, yet we still hold problematic issues without the title of disaster, as it is well hidden under our democracy today. Fahrenheit 451 is much like our world today, which includes television, the loss of free speech, and the loss of the education and use of books. Patai explains that Bradbury saw that people would soon be controlled by the television and saw it as the creators chance to “replace lived experience” (Patai 2).

A lot of people in today's society might consider themselves happy but are actually the opposite. Having a lot of friends makes people feel like they don't need to be an extrovert and can eventually cause them to become unhappy. In the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the same problem is present in the futuristic society. Almost all of the people in the book are either always on some sort of device or they are so consumed in the robotic society that they never take the time to think about things. This causes a lot of the characters in the book to be discontent, but not all. There are still a few that do take the time to think about things and are not always on a device.

    After all, in Fahrenheit 451, the main source of passive entertainment is through technology. Furthermore, Bradbury hints at the negative effects of the medical device used to save Mildred, and the hound. Though, he doesn’t explicitly blame technology for the creation of the dystopian world, rather it’s how technology is used in Fahrenheit 451. For instance, Mildred uses cars as a form of passive entertainment, though, cars are an inarguably essential tool of great value in today’s world. She said, “I always like to drive fast when I feel that way. You get it up around ninety-five and you feel wonderful (64).” Ray Bradbury also shows that technology may be helpful, through the mics Faber and Montag use to communicate, the radios that inform the people of war, and even the train Montag uses to get to Fabers . It’s the overuse of passive entertainment as a distraction, and the loss of meaningful content that Ray Bradbury portrays as the cause of many problems in Fahrenheit

The fog of information can drive out knowledge.” Boorstin adverts to the fact that in an era dominated by technology; people have lost the ability to think for themselves and are constantly given trivial information.
