The huge amount of information we see everyday makes us listen but not think. In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 Montag's wife Mildred does not stop to think about the effects of the parlour on her life. The protagonist is frustrated by his wife's lack of curiousity, "Montag reached inside the parlour wall and pulled the main switch [...]. The three women turned slowly and looked with unconcealed irritation and then dislike at Montag. [...] The three women fidgeted and looked nervously at the empty mud-coloured walls" (102)  One switch and three women are angry. Why are they upset? Is TV really so nessary to meet with friends? This idea is further explored by the examination of poetry,"'As for poetry , I hate it'. said Mrs Bowles. 'Have you ever read any?' "(106).  We know Mrs. Bowles didn't read any books because she is not alowed to. But does she want to check it? Someone told her that books are a waste of time and she doesn't want to have her own opinion. In Fahrenheit we see women sitting the whole day at home. They don't do the housework and they don't work. They don't want to have children and if they do they barely see them. In this world it is normal that women watch television the whole day and when they are not, they have radio plugs in their ears. Maybe it is a suggestion to our future where we won't even have one moment of silence to think because of the advanced technology.  Fahrenheit 451 shows us the thruth about what can happen with people in the XXIcentury. Internet absorbes us so much that we forgot that real life exist.
