Bradbury and Asimov are warning us about the advancements in technology and the changes in society that are caused by it. They are saying that as technology changes people will become more depended on it so, more advanced things can be created. Once people become too dependent on technology, society adapts to these major changes. Society adapts by creating computers and robots that can be put into leadership roles. If people think that a robot can do a better job in the work than a person than they will be replaced. For example, in the stories the police officers are replaced by robotic cars that can arrest people and teachers are replaced by at home computers for school. We are seen as different if we do not depend on technology to help us with our daily needs and tasks. In the future we will depend more on technology and we will become obsessed with having it in our lives. We will not be able to function without technology. People will be seen as different if they do not use technology for everything in their life. So, as technology advances society will advance with it.

This blog is short and the point is easy to follow. The point is proven well with proof from the story. To prove your point further, I would add one more example about how technology has taken over in both stories. Also, I would add some context from both stories for readers who would like to know more details. One small correction is when you state “If people think that a robot can do a better job in the work than a person than they will be replaced”. I agree with your point about how technology is becoming more involved in our lives, and how multiple jobs will eventually be taken away from people and replaced with robots and computers. On the other hand, I think that we will be able to function without technology. Perhaps in a couple of hundred years, most people will always rely on technology, but some people may still like to do things without it (e.g. holding a book in your hands or using a pencil to write other than typing on an electronic device).
