That It is important too have contact with your family incase of an emergancy or if you need a ride somewhere. maybe if you need them too pick you up. I think he was talking about technology because he may think its right too have cell phones but not right. Cause sometimes it may cause alot of problems.
ReplyDeleteRay Bradburay Is Saying that technology is not everything in the world. Ray Bradburay Thought that technology is not always the answer. I think that people use tachnology just to use it, becuase its there. Ray Brandburay was one of those people that use technology just because he's borde. I think that Ray is saying that the world is technology.

ReplyDeleteRay Bradburay is trying to say technology isn't always important. It won't help solve life's problems. But, technology can help make life easier and can be useful if needed. I feel if Ray had a cellular device and a car; He would have been able to drive around and use a cellphone in order to call for help and family. Ray might have felt technology is as important as everyone exgerates it to be and is showing he can live without it.

Ray Bradburay is trying to say that technology seems to be taking over the world. Ray is also saying that since we have technology no one really does things unless it includes technology. Ray made the main character the only one in the town who didn't use technology all that much so when the police car came to talk to him it was as if it was unnatural to just take a walk down the street.The police basically took the main character to the crazy house because he sounded crazy to him because he didn't want to watch TV he wanted to take a walk. Ray is trying to say technology isn't everything in the world there is other things to do.

ReplyDeleteI think that Ray Bradbury is trying to say that technology is getting so advanced that it just might take over the world or become evil. Like how everyone was in there house watching T.V. He's a writer, so he probly feels lonly cause he might not have sold a book in years cause everyone has left books for technology, as if they were all brain washed. Like remember how the car was being mean to Mr.Mead just because he was walking outside instead of under its control like everyone else. So the car took him to the crazy house, so that he can be brain-washed into being like everyonr else: Under Technology's Control.

ReplyDeletethere was a point to ray bradbury writing the pedestrian. i think he wrote the story to tell something about technology. i think ray bradbury is implying that technology is taking over the world. in the sense that peoples lives revolve around technology. i think that the police car w/o anyone in it signified technology taking over .
I think ray bradbury is trying to say that modern technology is taking over. So Ray is sayin that technlogy isn't always important and if we keep using technology like we do it's going to eventually get a mind of its own and take over the world. Like for instant in the video we watched it was a police car with no one in it and the car was being mean to mr.mead for no reason. So Ray BradBury wants people to stop using modern technology so much and stick to the books. Sean johnaon 1a =))))
ReplyDeleteRay Bradbury Is Trying To say , Is Technology Now days are Taking Over , & Since a Lot Of People Using Its Going Start Taking Over The World. And All people Going Know Is Technology Not Knowing Life can Be Better Without It.
ReplyDeleteI think Ray Bradbury is trying to tell us that technology is changing our society real fast. Early years ago children mostly used to read and go play outside, but a lot has changed since technology was invented especially when the television was invented. A lot of people stopped reading and playing outside because most of the children nowadays been just watching the television. Bradbury is trying to say that even though we have technologies you can still explore and have fun without those technologies.

Ray Bradburay Is Trying to say technology really isnt always Important and that technology changes things but isn't always good for everything in life. But also technology can sometimes useful. I think If ray Had a cell phone things wouldnt have happened the way they happened and he Could have called his family And Got Help.

ReplyDeleteI believe that the man was trying to give a message out to say that technology has changed over the period of time. That maybe sometimes technology is not always helpful. All things are not always perfect because technology has some disadvantages also.Maybe someday technology may rule the earth and take control.
I Believe That Ray Bradburay Is Trying To Say That Technology Isn't That Important! I Say That Because The Main Character Didn't Use Technology. So When The Police Stopped Him, He Thought He Was Up To SomeThing Because He Was Just Walking And Wasnt Using Technology.So Basically Ray Is Saying Technology Has A Big Role In Life.

Ray Bradbuary was showing that technology is not everything, he was doing things his way and throughout the story he didnt say anything about him having technology it seemed unimportant to him.Technology has changed throughtout these years and is still changing to this very day,but there is the good & there is the bad and ray was explaing that it is not always the good technology as it seems to be.
