Bradbury thinks that with technology surrounding us, people will stop reading books. If people stop reading books they will forget about things that are extremely important, which include history, how and why people act in different ways, how life began, and other things that are important today but with technology they are going to fade away. Another thing that could happen if people let technology dominate them is that they wouldn't be able to share their ideas or beliefs. All the new ideas people would bring into the world would be worth nothing because technology would be the most important issue. Technology could also damage our ways of communicating.
With the new inventions of texting and other ways of communicating through technology, it seems that more and more people would rather just be a face behind a screen. Moore’s point was that the new ideals of constant texting are killing the communication between people. Texting has become a very important part of most people’s life. Nowadays, a lot of people prefer to do everything through their cell phone, rather than face to face . It makes it easier for people to say things through a text message because they are not in front of the person.
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, was said to have been written about how technology like television and other media were making people less interested in ideas. Bradbury was thinking of the future and how it could be affected by over use of electronics. Mathew Ingram, a blogger on Gigaom tech blog, had asked “Are we living in Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451?” I believe that we almost living in the world of Ray Bradbury’s novel. Too many people are more interested in media, than in books and ideas. The majority of society would would rather pick up their smartphones than pick up a book.
"The Pedestrian" is a short story by Ray Bradbury, an author known for deeply philosophical and poetic prose that is often set in a time of space travel. Occurring in the year 2053, "The Pedestrian" tells the story of Leonard Mead, a man who walks alone at night, seemingly for the pure joy of it. This appears to upset the neighbors, who, when they are not criticizing the habits of others, are thoroughly engrossed in their televisions.In 2053, people do not walk outside -- even the sidewalks are succumbing to the endless growth of grass. At some point during his walk, Leonard Mead is accosted by the one remaining police car in the city of three million (there is apparently no need for a police force when no one goes outside and they are instead
The Character Simon is a creature of the night, part of the undead world, a vampire. He is desperate to be human again but he knows thats not possible. Everyone who had ever known him had died, no one to call his name which makes him a sentimental and lonely vampire who despises his own kind. Simon was walking around town and spotted a house with an uncurtained window. The couple inside were smiling and laughing while watching a game show on TV.
The main communication problem that we had was that he was able to understand me but his verbal English was limited. Had we not have used the telephone interpreter then the consultation would have taken longer and the information may have been incorrect, which is not a good advertisement for the practice as well as for the patients health. Also, when the patient first came to live in England he didn't live in the north of England and he may have misunderstood some words due to different regional dialects and cultural differences. The other options I had considered were rescheduling the appointment for another where I would be able to have a face to face interpreter present. The reason that I opted for the telephone interpreter was because the patient may have had a medical problem that needed urgent attention from a GP and this way he was able to let me know his preference for futures appointments with the practice.

Molli Walgren Thaddeus Stoklasa Research Paper 18 November, 2010 Dnt Have Tyme 2 Tlk Text messaging has become a customary part of society’s daily schedule. Technology has completely taken over communication. Other sources of communication such as pen and paper are almost unheard of in today’s civilization. Though texts are an easily accessible method to send material when time does not allow for oral discussion, they can be too detached. Texting is infamous for not being a decent technique of showing emotion.
A counterculture is a group that opposes mainstream culture, such as a drug culture that developed against the mainstream culture of law and anti-drug use. The new forms of technology that will change the role and significance of the four main agents of socialization will create less face-to-face communication and mostly communication to only that of texting and instant messaging. People will lose their emotions almost because they will be so attached to their tech devices that they won't have a need to show feeling except with emoticons. The reason sociologists believe that labeling an individual deviant can have long-lasting effects because once an individual is labeled a deviant, the stigma will stick to that individual for the remainder of their life. People do not easily forget 'deviance' from their normal.
Texting while driving is an up rising issue in today’s society. The fact that people are too busy texting rather then paying attention to what really matters is critical. By not paying attention to the road can cause deaths or even serious injuries to other people. Through the use of logos, ethos, and pathos the photograph below shows what may happen if you’re more worried about a text rather then the actual road. Logos The graphic that I choose to describe that people should not text and drive, was photographed by the Zain Company.
