1.) How would you compare our world now to the world you have just heard about in Fahrenheit 451?

Fahrenheit 451 is a novel that expresses concern about a current issue in our society. Books were once burned and replaced by technological advances such as televisions or radios. In today’s world, we can see how books are being replaced by social media in a similar way. Fahrenheit 451 is a novel that warns readers about the consequences of continuing to value technology over books.

2.) Are these things we should still worry about today? Is this a future we still have to fear?

Today, social media has already taken on a significant role as an information resource. This is one of the most serious issues that we should be concerned about. We will no longer value books because the weight of information available on the internet far outweighs the book. This is what we should be worried about for our future.

Bradbury is one of the authors who was gifted from a young age. Despite his natural ability, one of his first insightful novels, "The Martian Chronicles," which describes humankind's first attempt to colonize the planet Mars, astounded me the most. This novel was published for the first time in 1950. What's interesting is that, according to Cool Cosmos, the Viking landers were the first spacecraft to land on Mars in the 1970s. I'm completely stunned. Bradbury was not only a brilliant author, but he also had a future vision to predict future events. Furthermore, the majority of his work depicts the imperfections of our dystopian society, and it also serves as a warning about what might happen in the near future, which the audience should take as an awareness.

It was impressed to see all the work that Ray Bradbury was put into his writing that shows the issues that still concern us nowadays at such a young age. what really interesting is that he writing was to  “prevent the future,” not predict it, but thing he have been mention in his book was now appearing in real life such as the rise in violence (including gun violence),the use of televised surveillance footage for many purposes and many more, other thing that catch my attention was the slide that say "In the world of Fahrenheit 451, books are burned because they trigger thought and discontent,".

After looking at the intro slide, I am impressed with the fact that he began writing stories since he was 12 while I was still running around and having no clue about what I learned in math the same day. I really love how he decided to write on a lot of different social issues instead of all the common theme, such as love. Despite the age of his works, it is scary of how close he came to compare to the present days.

I was extremely fascinated by the information and how Ray Bradbury was a successful young man. He was a great writer at a young age and throughout his life. The way that he shows the messages of the real society through his works was clear, concise, and with the special skills to draw his audience's attention to his work such as books poetries, and films. The word prodigy is a really good word of fitting himself to such as writing about future technology, war, nuclear and other things.  Throughout his great mind, he has predicted the future of the world and he said that prevent the future rather than wait and see it happen. His books and other works weren't just for entertaining, at the same time he wanted his audiences to think and reflect on society as well.

It is really cool to see how Ray Bradbury put an interest in writing at such a young age, but what is even cooler is when he is a writer that is different than others. Instead of writing about what writers usually write, he had a passion for monsters, magicians, and adventure films. In the story Fahrenheit 451, we can see that Bradbury write this story where he wanted to prevent the future, but now we all can see the things that mention in the book appeared which is pretty interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
It is fascinating how he grew up with the skill of writing from a very young age. Moreover, his works contain many unique elements and topics compared to other writers. I believe, to be able to write about the future with the themes around the danger of technology, censorship, and racism takes a lot of background knowledge and understanding. He's brilliant! Another thing new I learned from the slide is there are many types of control. It's very interesting to see that there are many ways to silence people and take control of them. It is very scary.

1.) How would you compare our world now to the world you have just heard about in Fahrenheit 451?

Well, the world in Fahrenheit is really depressing. One, because that world is highly surveillance, most likely by the government or ruler. Two, because independent thought stopped being a thing. This one is the problem. The government in Fahrenheit 451 has made short meaningless clips for people to watch. Even when I was shown one clip, I stopped wanting to think because none of it make sense​ at all. The world in Fahrenheit 451 is surely a Dystopian. It's not a world that restricts freedom of thought but rather removes it from a person. So, no ideas, judgment, or opinions about anything are expressed by the citizen at all. Governors could achieve these same things in the real world, they have had. Using violence, wealth, power, and dominance, shutting down a person's mind and silencing them is a piece of cake.

2.) Are these things we should still worry about today? Is this a future we still have to fear?

Well, I've known about a few cases relating to this suppression of people's minds in the real world. It already happened. I think people are aware of losing individuality, but that's because of their fear and how much freedom they have. I think everyone has to be conscious about this, especially the government, about how much freedom do we have to express ourselves, our opinions, and our feedback to others. And our safety in expressing those thoughts to the public.

Ray Bradbury is almost certainly a child prodigy. Since he was a kid, he has had all of these strange yet intriguing thoughts. It's no wonder that he grew up writing about nuclear war, censorship, racism, conformity, and technology dangers. Bradbury is also said to try to "prevent the future," rather than predict it, but he does anticipate it. I was confused by the sentence, as I couldn't see how he could prevent the future without predicting it. Nonetheless, even if Bradbury did not attempt to predict the future, I believe he already knew a lot about what the future holds. Understanding Bradbury's concept creeped me out, but it had already become the norm for intelligent humans. They're weird, but they're sharp.

1.) How would you compare our world now to the world you have just heard about in Fahrenheit 451?

Our current world is not that extreme compared to the Fahrenheit 451 world. However, I do believe that we are somehow on the path to Fahrenheit 451. Although books are not being burned or restricted in our world people are still interrupted from having critical thoughts due to many technological advancements and social media. Day by day, people are distracted into trends and short clips which has minimized a lot of their idea developments.

2.) Are these things we should still worry about today? Is this a future we still have to fear?

Yes! Although we might not worry about book like in Fahrenheit 451,  analogously we fear of losing ourselves through what technology has put us through. Unwittingly, technology has silence people's mind. Moreover, it always fulfill people with a short-term satisfaction where they are drag away from exploring something meaningful in this world.

Bradbury's content choice in writing says so much about him. We know that he is someone who start writing since early age. Yet, instead of writing love story or novels for entertainment, he choose to write texts that convey impacts and his belief.

This sentence struck me "In Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury tries to “prevent the future,” not predict it, but he actually does anticipate the future". It makes me question, is it because he's so good at is work that we even foresee the future or is it because the future is too predictable? and not just one or two points but several that he got it right!

The censorship theme interest me. what I know about censorship is that it's very strict and sensitive. Thus, the fact that Bradbury's work is able to be originate with the people despite not passing the government censorship is something we should take a look at.

1.) How would you compare our world now to the world you have just heard about in Fahrenheit 451?
- Surprisingly, I feel like our world now is different from the world in Fahrenheit, but not that much of a different. In the world of Fahrenheit 451, there's no individualism, and people think they are happy with their world because they really don't know and understand how they are manipulated  from their own government--and the expansion of the government power in Fahrenheit 451 created a world of dystopia. Unlike the world that we are current living nowadays, most people live independently with their freedom thoughts on anything. We manipulate our own lives, even though we live under the government regulation. On the point that I said, we are much different from the world in Fahrenheit 451, because nowadays, almost every single person who lives on earth are addicted to modern technology which separate them apart from reading even though the book is not burning.
2.) Are these things we should still worry about today? Is this a future we still have to fear?
-   Absolutely, these are all the thing that we should be worried about, because technology are on trends nowadays. if we don't really care much about this issue, it surely will lead to negative impacts towards our lives. On top of that, we shouldn't fear much about our future, because our future could be shaped in this present. To live our lives without any fear for the future, we should start to take actions and do thing positively, so that we could have a peaceful future.

How would you compare our world now to the world you have just heard about in Fahrenheit 451?

Comparing with each other everything wasn't really different between our world right now and the Fahrenheit 451, if we looking into some situation right now people was considering the education by encouraging people to reading more book but in Fahrenheit 451 all the books was burning down and leave the world with completely no thought. But if we look to how the society work, we can see that everything was the happen the same, people tend to listening or watching the video about 1 hour to understanding everything instead of sitting a whole day reading 300 pages book to understand the overall meaning of something.

Are these things we should still worry about today? Is this a future we still have to fear?

Even though we live peacefully nowadays without worrying that something will happen unexpectedly. but there's still something that we need to fear about in the future because we can’t predict what is going to happen.

1.) How would you compare our world now to the world you have just heard about in Fahrenheit 451?
- The world we are living in now is quite a different perspective from the world in Fahrenheit 451. In our world, people are being encouraged to read books, while Fahrenheit 451 discourages it. Though people in today's world like being on screen, there is no restriction on what people can see. By any means, individualism still exists in today's world because people are welcome to express what they see and hear on the device they use. Whereas in Fahrenheit 451, the only source of entertainment is the television and individualism is being appreciated.

2.) Are these things we should still worry about today? Is this a future we still have to fear?
- Although I believe our world is somehow different from Fahrenheit 451, we still flaw for us as citizens to be worried about. Of course, protection is always better than resuscitation. The leader of each country are fighting for more power, so there is a concern for what the future hold.

1.) The differences in our world now to the world of Fahrenheit 451 is either better or worse; there is no in between. We are lucky to live in a society where resources and education were given all out but that doesn't mean every part of the world receive the same opportunity. There are still countries that suffer from lack of education due to book burning from their previous government ruler. In addition, even when books were not burnt, some citizens can't even read them because of their country's political situation. In conclusion, no matter how great education is being promoted, there are still places where people are still recovering from the side effects of past acts.
2.) In present days, we do have things to worry about but we don't have any fear for the future. It's because we have everything handy by just going online. There are plenty of resources that allows us to get curious and knowledgeable. What we have to worry is, how can we make this available for the rest of the world. As mentioned in question one, we can't just sit and watch while we have every resources in our hands. We need to do something to to make the rest of world have just as the same resources as we do.

1.) How would you compare our world now to the world you have just heard about in Fahrenheit 451?
+ The way I see the difference between Fahrenheit 451 and our current world, seems to be different in action but not the general concept or ideas. Like they are burning books to destroy culture, while people in now a day destroy the culture by following trends or culture that are new and been introduced to them, It's almost sound the same between these two societies.

2.) Are these things we should still worry about today? Is this a future we still have to fear?
+ Talking about worry or fear, I believe we should still worry about the situation, We might not before about these things, but as we can see, from one to another, each generation tends to follow each other and picking a different way of culture. Just like now, technology has made their appearance and make changes to the new generation, in considering we might still worry not about the burning book and it's culture destroy but how technology can destroy books.

1.) How would you compare our world now to the world you have just heard about in Fahrenheit 451?
In Fahrenheit 451, books were ban, and Montag was also mentioned that "in the barren world there is nothing left to hold on to" which mean people were getting rid of the book and emptying their thought. Just like our world now a day, people are living depending too much on technology. I can see that the consequence to the future world will be empty of books and people are only listen and watching rather than spending time reading the actual book.

Are these things we should still worry about today? Is this a future we still have to fear?

Of course, we are now living in fear under the technology world. People aren't communicating with each other, because the screen and technology devices are stick to their daily activities. Simultaneously in the future, people will be isolated from each other farther away and the book will not valuable anymore to them because they can easily access the information faster on their technology devices rather than spending time reading for information.

1.) After I heard about Fahrenheit 451 and compare it to our world, I feel some similarity, but in a very different ways. When it come to a modern day where technology plays a really big role, we can see that it is a part where people spend most of their day with. The older day would spend time reading book to develop ideas, but today we can only watch a short chip and listening to people opinions around the world with just a smart phone and internet. Hearing from Fahrenheit 451 about burning book, it also remind me of a situation in Myanmar where all communication was cut off. This shows a very modern way that is similar to Fahrenheit 451.

2.) I feel like we don't really need to worry about burning book, but since technology play a big role here, it is a big concern. With no technology, no communication line, there is no hope for our world today like Fahrenheit 451. Also, this should be a fear that we all have to fear.

There are many interesting information that presented in the slide. I really love the facts that he wrote story from his young age. Despite writing about romantic or horror story, he insist to write story that raised awareness of current issues, and how he could spread the impact through his writing. Perhaps, his book of Fahrenheit 451 really bring to people attention about the current event of the destruction of the library of Alexandria and the book burning regime. The theme of the book is very catchy, and I believe that the intention of this book is not to let people know about the events or to entertain people, but to let people think about those history and reflect to our present. On top of that, his artworks do find it way to connect with this "now" world, and how this world are getting closer and closer toward the word of dystopia.

1.) How would you compare our world now to the world you have just heard about in Fahrenheit 451?
- Frighteningly, our world now and the world that I have just heard about in Fahrenheit 451 are similar. Even though there aren't any book-burning practices in the current day, people still prefer to stay on their devices rather than reading a book which is the same goal that people in the world Fahrenheit 451 were trying to accomplish; to clear people to mind from thoughts.
2). Are these things we should still worry about today? Is this a future we still have to fear?
- I honestly still believe that this should be something that we should still be worried about today because we can already see the shift in culture from one generation to another. Moreover, this is still a future we still have to fear.
