Possible Futures 04.23

Wow! I've learned so much this semster about things that our future could look like. One thing that really stuck out to me was the 'New World Order' that we saw in the video clip on Tuesday. I think it is insane that technology has gone so far that we can put mircochips in our arms right under the skin. This microchip would replace all forms of identification that a person would carry on themselves. I think it would be kind of neat to be able to just wave your arm infront of a machine and it be able to tell all the information about you. I think that it is great for someone who has a fear of identity theft or getting their credit card stolen. Especially if they can create it in a way that you can pay for things using the information on your arm.

Why would Montag's wife turn him in for having books from fires!? Or I'm pretty sure she is the one who turned him in. I mean, when she hears the alarm she's ready to leave with a packed suitcase and a cab has already been called? Interesting... She either called or knew it was coming. But why?, that's your husband and you're reading the books too! That would get the both of you in trouble and cause you to have to give them up. I don't understand why she would do that?? It's keeping me interested, I wanna read more to find out!

So far I have really enjoyed reading this book. I find it very interesting with a very different story line. I think that Montag has a very interesting job. When I think of firefighters, I think of people being heros but when I read this book it isn't the case. Montag's job is to set houses and and the books in them on fire to destroy them. I think that is very weird. I just sometimes wonder what these people think when they hear fire alarms going off. I know I think of a hero when I hear the fire alarms. I also find this book to be very ironic. I find it odd that this book is about book being banned from the public and all the books being burnt. When in real time this book was banned itself when it was first published.
