Bradbury thoughts and feelings during this walk is really extraordinary. He feels that technology is going to take over the world and the effects that it’s going to leave behind is a world of isolation and depression. Him going for a walk at night around his block seemed normal but the police thought otherwise. He didn’t feel like he did anything wrong so it left him questioning why the police would want to stop him for. Who would've thought that getting stopped by the police on harmful walk would lead to a man writing one of the most powerful stories.
His point of perspective towards the story is that the world is going to be run by technology and there will be no one that he can talk to. During his walk he describes the loneliness that he sees on the streets. Also when the police asks him where his wife, he replies with a no and then a no one wanted me, which means that he's pretty lonely and has no one that loves him. He sees the police as being one sided and not caring for what he has to say. The police is represented as robot because that’s how the world will turn it in his mind, a world run by robots with no humans to talk to.
I would say that Bradbury is a lonely person who isn’t good with talking to people.It seems that he may say the right thing but in a wrong way. During his walk before he wrote this story, he told the police officer that he was putting his foot in front of another, which seemed to the cop as if he was trying to play smart with him. In the story Bradbury really seems to miss how it used to be before technology took over. The world he describes is dead but with people only stuck on technology. His character seems to be a harmless person who just going for a walk which is normal but the society that he lives in has changed.
Technology has evolved to be something great, but how long will it take until it becomes something bad. Since almost every person has some sort of technology in their home or on them, it would be easy for them to get lost in it. Technology has evolved through the years and it’s going to keep on evolving. It’s probably going to get to the point where Bradbury story might even be a resemblance of life. Just imagine people being controlled by technology, the world being run by robots, obeying whatever the laws are because humans aren’t obsolete. This just might be our future but we will never know.
This story was really interesting to me. It made me wonder if this is really what the future will look like.I know people think that phones are bad now but in the story it seems that we just can't get away from it. Going for a walk now is normal, no ones going to stop you for no reason, people still control their lives, and there aren't any robots running the country. Hopefully technology won’t overcome us and destroy humanity.
