Objects/Places
Wall Television: The wall televisions are TV panels that take up the entire wall space in a room. People buy such huge panels because watching these larger-than-life screens takes the place of interacting with other people and living life.
The people that appear on the screen are referred to as 'relatives' or the 'family' because they are the substitute for family for people in this society.
Seashell Radio: These are small mechanical devices that people put in their ears to listen to music and chatter all the time. Mildred wears these when she sleeps.
Mechanical Hound: The Mechanical Hound is an electronic beast that is equipped with a lethal needle that will inject its prey with morphine or procaine to kill it. The Hound can be programmed to seek out a specific person, and the firemen use it to kill people who get in their way.
