But we also have people who are doing the right thing.  In the dystopian  society, they still have things that dont make the world perfect because you cant have something "perfect" without a few flaws.

As technology advanced, it became like a snowball effect, where it became so advanced and so popular it took over the whole society.  People begin to value efficiency over true experience, and it came to the point where things like books became irrelevant and shameful to use.  Why read books when there are TV shows that show everything a person needs?  The ease and efficiency of technology shaped F451's society into what it is.  Technology and the government also has a huge play into each other, as the government enforces the use of this advanced technology and bans books.  ]]> 2019-11-01 20:45:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sabill1/bycdgfa56xt1/wish/405635597 gabrielh6010 https://padlet.com/sabill1/bycdgfa56xt1/wish/405635613 The dystopian society in F451 censors everything, just like the censorship and hiding of information on information on Google or Facebook.

It is not necessarily one person of the government, it is like workers, lower branches of it, who control people. Technology here also controls people, they feel comfort from it, but it also makes hem want it more, and rely on it more, even making them trust it more and trust the people discretely controlling them more. This sort of limits freedom of thinking for themselves, they take in and accept what is told to them with almost no question. ]]> 2019-11-01 20:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sabill1/bycdgfa56xt1/wish/405635644 alistarm6396 https://padlet.com/sabill1/bycdgfa56xt1/wish/405635660 2019-11-01 20:45:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sabill1/bycdgfa56xt1/wish/405635660 tylerb4551 https://padlet.com/sabill1/bycdgfa56xt1/wish/405635692 IN F451 Millie all day sits in the parlor all day watching TV.

The society of F451 is the way it is now because of the power and control the government had which made it capable for the government to manipulate the society. Using the power the government had, they controlled the minds of the people in the society by making rules in which everyone was equal and didn't know much knowledge. As they destroyed the  books which gave intelligence and increased the amount of technology giving more power to control and to manipulate.

With the woman who had the books burned, Montag saw that she would rather die than go on living without her books, which I think was a real eye-opening experience for him.

In F451, books are banned and anyone who rebels according to this ends up in jail or dying.

This is really shown by even just Montag's job as a fireman and what he has to do, which is burning the books. Another entity that is doing the controlling is the technology, this is because these people's lives revolve around their technology. From their entertainment to their health; all of it is controlled by technology. People are convinced that technology will make them happy, but this has not been the case for anyone, and this is how people are controlled and are given a false sense of happiness.]]> 2019-11-01 20:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sabill1/bycdgfa56xt1/wish/405636518 larissal6142 https://padlet.com/sabill1/bycdgfa56xt1/wish/405637362 "...each one of the books. a man had to think them up.

Nowadays, humans rely so much on technology that it becomes addicting. They have the freedom to binge watch tv shows instead of reading a book.

The society relies on the tech to survive. Books and objects have become distant and banned from the  society. They only want the society to be based on tech because they know that they can rely on it. It's not going to let them down and no one in the society is going to have more advantages then others.

Help in this world with medical problems is just robots, and it is hard for anybody to get help just because there is so many people who need it. They also burn books, because technology made them obsolete. At one point, there will be technology so advanced, it will lead to people not communicating anymore, at the rate that technology advances in this story.

People have become so addicted they're no longer aware of the outside world, and real events and things that are happening. Like when Mildred said that Clarisse died she wasn't completely sure and it seems like something people would remember. Another way is through the restriction of having books, which   is more political. Because they don't want people owning books in fear of people having an outrage because they're offended.

They are controlling people because they aren't allowed to do basic things such as read a book. They burn books instead.

A example of this in F451 was when the bookkeeping woman made a Bible reference. Beaty knew what the lady meant, because in his time he most likely grew up with that kind of "freedom of knowledge". With Guy it was different. He didn't have the freedom to gain that type of knowledge.]]> 2019-11-12 21:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/sabill1/bycdgfa56xt1/wish/410278433 melaniem6281 https://padlet.com/sabill1/bycdgfa56xt1/wish/410279586 The distopian society in Fahrenheit 451 was developed into one that prefers efficiency over effectiveness. Technology is created in a way that makes it "user friendly," this means a generally difficult task can be completed with ease. This eliminates problems rather than actually fixing them. For example, they created a portable machine that pumps the stomachs of those who overdose, however, they don't actually treat those people for their depression. Everyone would much rather take the easy way out and just solve issues for a given period of time rather than put in more work to completely fix it. Therefore, it developed to be more efficient but in the long run, less effective.]]> 2019-11-12 21:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sabill1/bycdgfa56xt1/wish/410279586 joser4307 https://padlet.com/sabill1/bycdgfa56xt1/wish/410285623 In most texts like this one, the government is doing the controlling and technology also plays a role in the controlling of the people. The government does this controlling by setting a standard or a rule. This always come with force and sends fear into those who opposite the rule. AN example of this is F451, though most don't get why books aren't allowed, they are burned regardless and people are afraid to go against the government. The technology they use always furthers this in texts, by further more separating them and keeping them in the hands of the government.
