Author’s Note: This is reflection on the short story “There Will come Soft Rains.” This is great short story that a lot of people should read because it will engage the reader by the message the story portrays.
In the book There Will Come Soft Rains, by Ray Bradbury, there is a great message to be heard as it tells a great story about a house that is on auto pilot. It runs on its own and it has a mind of its own. You cannot let technology take over your life or it will make it worse.
Technology is a great thing but don’t let it take over your life. You can use technology when you absolutely need it. But when your life is fine, you don’t want to overuse modern technology. I think technology now, is a lot better than years ago, but I wish I could’ve experienced it and compared it to now a days.
Next, I think that people are turning their lives into auto pilot, like the house in There Will Come Soft Rains. Also, the house is a symbol. It’s a symbol by thinking of the house as the society right now. Society is really dependent on technology now. We depend on it from when we wake up, to when we fall asleep. People use it for fun, entertainment, and learning. The people that overuse it are just going to let their life waste away with technology and let it take over their life. On the other hand, the people using it correctly will learn from themselves, instead of technology doing everything for them.
You cannot let modern technology take over your life because it will just make it worse. Like in the book, There Will Come Soft Rains, the house is a symbol of society now. The house is on auto pilot and runs on its own. Even though technology is necessary, you need to be cautious how you use it. Don't let technology make your life worse, when you have your own person to make it yours and how you want it to be.
