Keep in mind this was originally written in 1953. I also just watched the episode The Veldt and it was shockingly accurate how about technology would replace family.

I read Fahrenheit 451 when I was in seventh grade or so.

One of the things I remember is that the main character’s wife spent most of her time watching TV in a room in which all four walls were covered with gigantic screens.

His name was Guy Montag, which as a kid I thought was a really weird name.

Also, if ran away from the police, they’d set a robotic dog on you. In it’s robotic mouth was a large syringe loaded with a knock-out drug. It bit you, and the lights went out.

Star Trek showed the end result, where everybody was quite useless and didn’t have the basic skills.

Ray Bradbury wrote a short story, published in 1950, “There Will Come Soft Rains” based on the Sara Teasdale anti-war poem I remember reading an illustrated version of it in the 60s or early 70s. I can’t remember what anthology of his work it was in.
Here is the story,

And the earliest animated version of it I could find.

While it is an anti-war story, his adaptation of the poem shows his philosophy on technology and the path to dependency we are going down.
