Gertrude Stein, an American writer, once stated, “Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common since”. Referring to modern societies, Stein raises the important topic of social and technologic advancement. On current decades, technology has evolved exponentially making the movement of ideas, people and believes easier. However, with the ease of access to information previously out of reach, laziness has increased as a result. During the past twenty years the number of children obese and overweight has increased rapidly. One contributor to these climbing rates is the prevalence of technology and media that promotes sedentary behavior (Cespedes 1). As well as causing an increase in obesity rates, overused technology promotes the lack of critical thinking by persuading individuals, in the form of advertisement, to readily choose paths that satisfy the human desire for pleasure. Even though the American writer Ray Bradbury lived and published the novel Fahrenheit 451 in the middle of the twentieth century, he was able to predict trends that would emerge in the future, by writing the novel.
