You're not anything" (Bradbury 163). This quote makes you realize that technology is taking over humans and the world has to do something about it.

Many people think that technology would be the solution for all worldwide problems, but don't you think it would probably make them worse? People believe that if technology gets more advanced it would end society because people would probably forget about everything. 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. We would not be able to spend time with the people we love and I think that it could cause conflicts among people because of lack of communication.
What do we have to do to prevent technology from taking over us? Do we have to risk our lives? People think that to prevent technology from taking over the world we have to unite and join our forces. Bradbury believes that if people read books, they will learn about the history of the world and things they don't understand. Books will teach people new lessons without the use of technology. Like mentioned before, technology is also damaging ways of communicating. People focus more on technology than in their personal things. If we communicate a lot more and become more social, we would probably get along better with each other and this will make fewer conflicts in the world.
One thing that is extremely important and that we should prevent is spending time on computers and televisions. People are spending too much time on computers and watching T.V. These things are causing lots of problems in the world because people forget about what is really important. Sometimes people look like zombies because you are talking to them and they don't even pay attention to you; they are in their own world.
As you can see, technology might arise conflicts if it advances more. "You're not important. You're not anything." With this quote we now have a reason to unite and stop technology from advancing. If it advances more it would be the end for our society or even our world.
