Fahrenheit 451 continues to have significance in the modern 21st century due to the lack in numbers of people that sit down to read books meanwhile people do not hesitate to pick up a remote and watch a story rather than sit down and read one.

People should learn from Fahrenheit 451 because it shows how if we take one wrong step or rely to much on technology then we can become just as life less as the technology itself.

Fahrenheit 451 resides as an accurate representation of the 21st century America due to our society's dependence on technology.

I believe Fahrenheit 451 is still significant and should still be read to just keep new generations aware of what could be and to be aware of what their doing and what they want with technology and to realize books are important. A world without them wouldn't seem right.

Fahrenheit 451 remains relevant and should be read today because technology and censorship are still relevant issues that require attention from the public and the young people of the world.

I feel that Fahrenheit 451 is still relevant to the 21st century and should continue to be shared/read due to the fact that censorship and technological dangers are still--and probably always will be-- significant issues in certain places.

Fahrenheit 451 is still applicable today because it makes people realize that present society is starting to look familiar to Bradbury's novel.

As many dystopian novels, Bradbury predicted the future to be mesmerized by technology and emphasized it by introducing Mildred, a true representative of what the government tried to mold everyone in the society. As their technology became more advanced the longer Mildred's were sitting in front a screen. It is the same way now, when Apple creates something new and improved, the cost does not matter and people go and buy it only to be glued to the screen all day *coughmecough*. This novel made me realize how dependent we are on technology, and hopefully it will help others to stop and smell the roses once and a while instead of looking at their phone/ electronic devices.

I think that Fahrenheit 451 should remain to be read to allow the readers to acknowledge themselves over other types of socuetyes

Despite the foreshadow of today's society being a bit scary, "451" has such a great sense of strength and intelligence that many people could take into consideration, which would make problems similar to those in "451" easier to fix.

Fahrenheit 451 speaks of the disasters to be and subtly shows how the civilians voices are shut out to the point where they don't have an opinion, or a brain. Also more people, especially the younger generation, need to realize how big of a hole they are digging using technology for simple daily things, and prominent novels like this will help restore knowledge.

In the face of a burgeoning global society and advancing technology, Fahrenheit 451's significance scarily is more relevant today as the growing and hypnotic mass media controls "the depth of ideas" much like the setting of Bradbury's work,

The prominence of Fahrenheit 451 does indeed endure in today's societal network as a frightening reminder that dehumanization is underway; the advancement of innovation forces civilization to implant themselves upon triviality thus serving as a distraction in pursuing human essentials like self-actualization (flowers growing on flowers).

Anyone who didn't know that Fahrenheit 451 was written in the 50's would probably think it was written today, instead of 60 years ago; many of Bradbury's predictions have come true, in a shocking and disturbing way, ensuring its place in the 21st Century.

The main characteristic of Fahrenheit 451 that is significant today is the technology and it's ability to distract humans from the more important problems in real life.

Farenheit 451 represents the 21st century in an accurate fashion, and reminds humans to not let technological advances interfere with the mental growth of mankind.

When Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451 in the 50's, it was society transitioning into the technological age--televisions, radios, telephones, and the like--it was the birth of the modern age, dubbed the "happy times." The 21st century is that aspect growing into new heights where technology is practically like the air we breathe. Fortunately, books like Fahrenheit 451 are still around to offer future generations knowledge and wisdom as a guide to propel humanity into a direction. Whether that direction leads us straight to the desolate future of the novel itself will not only be decided through our acknowledgement of the significance of Fahrenheit 451's message, but it will be from every living spirit with their own story told throughout time.

Fahrenheit 451 remains relevant in the 21st century because technology has become a social need in today's world like Bradbury predicted, and people must keep from exploiting that to extreme measures where we could ultimately become that sort of utopia in the novel.

Fahrenheit 451 still remains significant in the 21st century because we live in a world where technology inhabits every part of our lives. It leaves us wondering if we have become too dependent on it already.

Fahrenheit 451 remains relevant in the 21st century for it serves as a reminder to how dangerous technology can be to humanity by illustrating the effects technology held on Montag's society and how hard it was to break free from them.

Fahrenheit 451 is still relevant in today's culture because of our confidence in technology.

When Bradbury wrote this book in the 50's he was warning the human race rather than predicting, that being said the fact that most of what he wrote about has come true proves that Fahrenheit has a continued significance in the 21st Century. Technology continues to be an issue in interfering with the lives of many, restricting them from actually living life.
