Ray Bradbury shows us the expressions of Mildred in the book fahrenheit 451, Mildred is constantly watching TV . When the atomic bomb exploded she was probably back in the apartment still watching TV. Also she always has her earphones in their words “seashells”.

We use our phones to text almost constantly, which leads to our ignoring or forgetting the daily responsibilities around us. When we binge watch a whole tv show we can get a sense of emptiness.
