    Along with being harmful to both one’s social and mental health, over-reliance on technology is detrimental to one’s physical health. All sorts of technology have different effects on people’s health, but certain kinds are more toxic than others. Some of the worst known kinds are radioactive and nuclear technologies, two very fragile yet unpredictable and explosive sources of energy.

Too often there are news stories of a nuclear reactor…

Not only did these robots take the form of a living creature, Bradbury also described behavior traits nearly as emotions that are only seen in living things. He wrote that the cleaning mice robots were “angry” at the inconvenience of cleaning up the mud the living dog brought into the house (Bradbury 873). Robots do not get angry, as they do not have true emotions.…

    Science-fiction texts often use vivid storytelling so as to allow the reader to grasp an overall idea and gain an insight into a world that is often filled with chaos and disorder. There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury is a story that takes place in the future but takes its name from a 19th century writer. It is a story that takes a science-fiction plot and embroils it with real life moral and philosophical concerns. Bradbury’s protagonist is a house standing alone in a world destroyed by nuclear war in the 1950’s. When the story was written, the fear of devastating effects of nuclear war was painfully clear in peoples’ minds. With the use of narrative elements such as setting, language conventions, tone and structure, Bradbury is able to communicate his representation of an event, as well as his argument about the concern of humanity being brought to an end by our own ignorance. He is able to communicate this message to the reader whilst depicting a world in which human beings have been destroyed, rather than saved, by their own technology after the event of a…

    ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’ made me feel absolutely devastated. Immersing me slowly in its melancholy world of rubbles, dust and ashes burning away in a nuclear war. Is by far the shortest, sharpest and most depressing short story that I have ever read. ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’ is a snapshot that perfectly captures all of the social paranoias in society during the post war period of the 1950s. Rendering the beautiful and power mind of Ray Bradbury in a 4 page short story. Bradbury was at his absolute best when portraying the overwhelming sense of desolation and bleakness throughout the story. Like Ray Bradbury’s other short story ‘The Veldt’, ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’ is a story that is able to teach yet another stingingly unforgettable lesson about technology that shines…
