Their interaction seems shallow and forced, laughing at dead bodies on television screens. The way they talk about their kids is frightening: ”You heave them into the parlor and turn the switch. It's like washing clothes: stuff laundry and slam the lid,” says Mrs. Bowles (page 96). But doesn't that, leaving the kids in the parlor for hours, sound a lot like giving a child an Ipad to play with to keep them busy? Mildred's friends also briefly talk politics, which to them means rating the looks of the presidential candidates. This once again sounds so shallow, but nowadays we hear people constantly criticising politicians and other popular people for their looks. The quality of human interaction in our world may be losing its depth and interest, just like it has in the world of Fahrenheit 451. So, the imaginary world of Fahrenheit 451 is not so different from ours. However, we are still a lot more fortunate than the people in the novel because we get to read books, think for ourselves and learn quality information without censorship. But what if those rights will be taken from us? Will we fight back for what is right, even if we are being offered an easy way of life? Will we set the boundaries between cleverness and laziness?
