Bradbury might define happiness as freedom of knowledge and being able to control what you learn- being in control of your brain. He conveys more about how people are unhappy than how to achieve happiness in a perfect world. I think this means that you can't be happy if you have (or know) everything

Bradbury defines happiness in Fahrenheit 451 as nothing bad happening, living in a functioning society where everything is controlled is happiness for these people. This is a stark contrast to how Clarisse imagines happiness, she wants to seek it, she wants something good to happen, versus preventing anything bad from happening.

Bradbury shows how, after people have had it for so long, entertainment becomes a necessity. People are addicted to it the same way as a drug, and cannot live without it. Nowadays, people use technology almost constantly, and society cannot live without it, the same way as Bradbury predicted.

Bradbury doesn't present a new idea of happiness, because the people in Fahrenheit 451 aren't really happy. Instead, they are neutral, never feeling sadness.

Bradbury presents happiness as the absence of sadness; and as a checklist. If the characters do certain things, or purchase them, then they will be able to be happy. He representing how something has changed in human's need to be happy.

These items all can invoke curiosity and a sense of being at home and having a community, but when they are gone, most people are not as connected with each other in a community and inside their houses more.

The porches, gardens, and rocking chairs that Clarisse describes show opportunities to think. They let people think about things instead of doing something immediately, and allow the people to create new ideas. Without them, society is working or being entertained 24/7, with no time to make new ideas or question old ones, and not thinking about why they are doing these things.

This prophecy has somewhat come true- in today's chaotic world, people have the freedom to read, but there are some minor forms of censorship within society. We have public libraries that everyone has access to and a world of information at our fingertips through technology. However, some information is kept from society and it's effects may be harmful.

In F451, Bradbury defines happiness as lack of societal individuality and mindless pleasure. If characters ignorantly followed the rules and expectations of society (burn books, watch TV, etc.) they are happy. Bradbury presents a new idea of happiness, in how it can actually be achieved through thinking about the world rather than being mindless joy zombies.

In this world technology is used almost as a brainwashing technique to make people not think for themselves, and to give a blissful ignorance to society. Bradbury was right in a lot of people rely on technology and take in a lot of fake news.

we wouldn't exactly call it peace of mind, rather forced ignorance. If they don't know how much better life can be, there is no missing it. this is shown by them only thinking about things that will make them instantly happy. They don't think about anything worth while because that is how the government has conditions them to be.

Bradbury predicts our modern world because he says that people are just glued to their electronics and are brainless. Lots of people today just spend hours on end on their phone or watching TV almost becoming brainwashed from it. He uses the cautionary tone to warn us about this and he was right. He uses Montag to describe his feelings when he says, "Do you hear them, did you hear these monsters talking about monsters? Oh God, the way they jabber about people and their own children and themselves and the way they talk about their husbands and the way they talk about war, dammit, I stand here and I can't believe it! (94).
