Differences between Technology inF451andMR:For this section you will needto
contrast technology inF451with technology inMR. In order to make successful contrasts, you will
need to compare technologies which have some connection to one another, and then you will need
to explain how they are different. For example, it would not make sense to compare the mechanical
hound in F451 with the fast cars in MR because they are too different in an obvious way. However,
you could compare the differences in the mechanical hound in F451 with the differences in the
spyders in MR since they are both of the same category of technology: their purpose is to hunt
suspects. Consider not only the technologies’ function, purpose, and appearance but alsoits
impact on its respective societies.
