in my opinion i think bradbury's main concern is technology and how people aren't creating an identity for themselves, and that they just sit around watching screens and have no personality besides talking about technology. his concern is that the world is losing the human part of it and just using technology for everything that a basic human does

I think Bradbury's primary concern is how humanity can be lost due to technology. I do not believe he thinks technology is inherently bad, more so that technology can derive humanity from use with misuse. For example, In the Pedestrian, he almost constantly detaches humans from humanity and more so replaces it with technology. As shown by the car that has no driver. The human part has been replaced by technology

In my mind, Bradbury's concern is not necessarily of technology, but of the loss of humanity and manly  traits brought on by the increasing overuse of technology. In the Veldt, Bradbury expresses that the fortunate Hadley family lost some of their humanity due to their staggering dependence and use of technology. One can tell that this is the point he wants to make because he brought the idea to an absurd extreme so that it would be obvious. In the Pedestrian, Bradbury wanted to show the audience a possible future of complete human conformity, and the symbolic "death" of manly traits.

I think Bradbury's biggest concern is with humanity becoming strict consumers that don't think for themselves, which is made more prevalent with technology. The reason why I think this is because both of the stories we read, The Veldt and The Pedestrian, all feature some sort of futuristic society that paints people as drone-like. Such as The Pedestrian, where Mr. Mead is the only person who is out walking while everyone else is using their "viewing screens." The same concept comes up in The Veldt, as the Hadley family lives in a house where everything is done for them. They don't think for themselves, they don't produce anything, they just live and experience. This leads to a focus on creature comforts to improve their current experience, which makes people look at the short term rather than the long term.

In my opinion I don't think Bradburry is afraid of technology. I do think he is worried about what might happen to us if we become absorbed into it. He uses technology as the ¨enemy" in his stories. in The Pedestrian, Leonard is noticing what has happened to the world as all of the people except him and the cop are glued to their TVs and won't get up. In the Veldt he shows how irritable society has gotten, which is the effect of technology.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion I believe that Bradburry isn't as worried about technology taking over but as of people losing the side of themselves that gives them character. I think he believe the increase in technology takes away people's character because with technology doing everything they don't have as many learning experiences and don't have to do tasks they don't necessarily want to do. Also they aren't trying to learn how to be dependable upon themselves without technology.

I believe that Bradbury is most concerned about how far technology will advance in the future and how it could be bad for humans/people for example, in "The Veldt" there is such advanced technology that it could make you feel the scenery so clearly that it felt as if you were really there. However, because it has become a daily part of their lives the children didn't want to stop using it, they even murdered their own  parents in order to be able to use it whenever they wanted.

I think Bradbury is worried about humans losing indeviduality and imagination. In "The Pedestrian" Leonard was a writer, and that was considered to be "no profession" by the robotic cop. Noone wrote anymore, noone read, and because he was so passionate about these things in the interview, I think this could also be part of what Bradbury is worried about. He doesn't want technology and screens to take the place of writing and books, which is a way to show creativity and individuality. He fears that people will start to love the ease of technology more than other people, creativity, and learning about culture through reading books. Technology can be good, but you still need to do things for yourself and you shouldn't let it control you.

After reading the short stories by Bradbury, itś clear that he is concerned with how future generations will react to technology. Not only that but he doesn't want society to lose all connection with earthly interactions to a tv screen like "The pedestrian" society. In "The pedestrian" when the "cop" asked what Leonard did, the robotic car was confused by Leonardś answer. Leonard was a writer and that was uncommon during this time because no one left their homes, no one had a normal job besides staring at a screen all day. Obviously Bradbury could have made Leonard have any other job, but he had him be a writer. Clearly this shows that Bradbury believes literature and culture is important to obtain individuality and he doesn't want to lose that all because technology seems like the practical answer to everything.

Itś evident to me that bradbury's concern is the importance of books. In all his stories he uses the lack of books to correlate to the brain dead nature of the pedestrian or the lack of complexion in the characters in the veldt.In his interview he talks about hitler burning books. His concern is that books become obsolete and become will become dull, mindless and useless. Bradbury to me believes books show free though and self worth and competence. Its easy to let things happen and lets tech. do things for you but its harder to be independent and show that you think for yourself.

Citing Bradbury's interview and the two short stories we have read in class, I think Bradbury is most concerned about the loss of culture, imagination and being too dependent on technology. In "The Pedestrian" Bradbury writes of a world that is so dependent on viewing screens that the people living in that society (with the exception of Mr. Mead) have lost their imagination and independence. Books and magazines are no more, and Mead seams to be the only person who still values books, imagination, and other seemingly natural human behaviors. In "The Veldt" families live in extravagant homes that take care of all chores, and even have a nursery that stimulates any environment you could think of. In this story, the children do not need to have creative imaginations to entertain themselves as the nursery does it all for them. All the children want to do is sit in the nursery and "...look, listen and smell." Everything is done for them and they barely have to put any effort into functioning. Overall this is why Bradbury is most concerned about technology, because in his stories the humans become too dependent and lose their humanity and imaginations.

I believe Bradbury is concerned by the overwhelming use of technology in the world and how it has changed all of our lives drastically, but I think he is most concerned about the lack of creativity and interest in the world the technology creates. In his short stories "The Pedestrian" and "The Veldt" he pays very close attention to the beauty of the world, looking at all the little things and letting them come alive with their own personalities. When human's are engulfed in technology as much as they are in his stories they miss all those little things in life. Without the creativity and reality in the world everything becomes more dull. To Bradbury and many others, reading and writing is what keeps the world alive.

I think Ray Bradbury is not completely concerned about the technology nut about the knowledge that people get from books. He said in the video that if you know how to read and right then you have a complete education. He said that if you didn't have the ability to read you couldn't be apart of any civilization and apart of a democracy, and not be able to vote in that democracy. I think that technology takes a smaller part because it could possibly take over humanity. I think he is concerned over how people would get lazy and rely on all of this technology to do things for them instead of the people getting up and doing it themselves. I believe he's also concerned over the fact that if everything goes online and into technology people would lose their creativity and then there wouldn't be any more books to read and they'd become forgotten about just like in "The Pedestrian."

In my opinion Bradbury seems to be concerned about the loss of human creation. He uses dystopian worlds to describe a future void of human touch. In "The Pedestrian" he shows a lifeless city. The colors in that city come through the screens, and yet they seem to have no impact. Mr.Mead is left as an outsider, with him seemingly being the only one that sees how depraved the world is of life and curiosity. In "The Veldt", he explores the idea of how children react to a world without hardwork. As children we all learn through trial and error, and we rely on our parents, or guardians, to teach and comfort us through our trials. Peter and Wendy grew a dependency on luxuries instead of their mother and father. They never learned to be self sufficient for the simplest of tasks. They learned to be more reliant on machines rather than their own parents, which helps explain why they were so eager to murder their parents in cold-blood. To us they seem ruthless, but looking at their world, they practically had no connection to them. These stories, in my opinion, are representations of how fearful Bradbury is of a world that lacks the thoughtfulness and the imperfections of humanity.

It is clear that Bradbury is concerned about the power of technology and how it could change our society. Although he makes that opinion of him certain in his short stories ¨The Veldt¨ and ¨The Pedestrian" there are many little details to them that key us in on his fear of the reckless embrace of technology. Such as in ¨The Pedestrian¨, Bradbury demonstrates how the new society has been engulfed by technology when the police car can no longer recognize being a writer as a job. This to me, showed how in the world under the consumption of a screen, there is no creativity and humans become useless.

I think Bradbury is worried about humans losing their humanity. I think he believes that relationships make us human. In his stories "The Veldt" and "The Pedestrian" society devolves into a technologically focused one instead of a human focused one.
In "The Veldt," the house is more of a parent to the kids than the parents are. The house can do what humans do but better, so the Hadleys stop being parents. They continue to become lazy and useless. It is like they are living life without taking time to live it. They should be doing tasks like making food or giving a bath because doing something for someone else shows you care about them. That is how relationships grow and strengthen. By letting technology do it, even a bond like father and son can be broken.
"The Pedestrian" reinforces this idea because the society is so advanced that there is not even a reason to go outside. A busy street and city should be full of cars, people, and noise. Instead it is absolutely silent as Mr. Mead takes his walk. Jobs, like the police, are automated where people do not have to do anything. The problem is there is no human interaction with anyone. People cannot even take a walk without being sent to a psychiatric ward. There is nothing efficient about taking a walk, which is technologies' goal, but there is something human about appreciating and enjoying nature.

I think Bradbury is worried about how technology could change the world for worse. I believe that Bradbury does enjoy technology and believes that it can be good thing because he shows how the kids enjoy the nursery very much. Even though there might be some good things, I do in fact that Bradbury is worried that technology might consume humanity. I say this because, in his short story, it shows that there are robots/technology doing everything for the humans. As the technology continues to become more and more advanced, Bradbury displays that humans may become lazy, and corrupted by it.

I think Bradbury is concerned about technology but also how people will respond to it. He makes it obvious in "The Veldt" that he thinks one day everyone will want to use technology for everything and stop doing things themselves. He think people will lose touch of what being human really is and become incapable of creativity or of thinking for themselves. As technology becomes more and more advanced, people become less and less necessary. Machines are already taking over jobs in factories and people become unnecessary and obsolete. Overall, Bradbury is worried that technology will take over not just lives, but society itself.

# data[].attributes.body
Bradbury, who seems to be very concerned about the use of technology, actually has a much bigger  concern which is a society with no thought. No diversity, no new ideas, where society becomes obsolete and useless due to the lack of creativity. Technology may be a big part of this, as it grows by the minute and gives people more power at their fingertips, but his real message was that if we as human beings continue on the path we are going, the future could actually regress us even though the technology is progressing.

# data[].attributes.body
Besides the part of Bradbury being against the technology, he has other worries. I think he is worried about how people will react or change to new technology or any advancement in the world. Maybe to him, he is concerned that people will change everything that makes them special or unique. I also think that he is concerned that once all these new technologies are out in the world, people will stop communicating with each other. Society has a big part on every day lives and how we interact with others. Now that there are more advances out there, people will stop communicating or socializing with others.
