Mildred?The population of the area is not interested in other ideas such as the thoughts and words of writers nor of sentimental feelings such as love and romance. They are only interested in what they can do with the things around them. Specifically, Mildred is guilty of this offense. She was not in love nor did she truly appreciate the words and teachings of the authors. She was only interested in the television that she and Montag owned. Whenever the television was on, which was literally all the time, Mildred was not interested in anything but it. She did not pay Montag or anyone else any attention. She simply watched and sometimes interacted with the television, such as the game show that she programmed to say her name in. Even when she invited her friends over for socializing, Mildred would seat them in the parlor"ÃÂthe room with the three television screens on three of the walls. These facts all join to form evidence that Mildred is a woman who is obsessed with technology"ÃÂalthough it is usually thought by the reader and some of the characters that the technology may soon override the human species as a whole.
