Question 7- Fahrenheit 451

*Are there are any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? What are they, and how do they relate? Does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or "fixed"?
The novel doesn't necessarily shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or "fixed," yet there is a similar machine these days that help treat drug overdoses. Another situation in the world is the over-dependence on technology. Many children and teenagers, even some adults prefer television over productive and informative sources such as books, magazines, etc. The novel shows how books are important and there is something special about them; they are full of things we've never imagined before. Mildred, although she had build in "walls" or television that she could watch everyday, she was miserable and could never be satisfied. Technology has improved society and our way of life.
