Through literature, illustrations, and movies, Ray Bradbury has brought his books to life. I wouldn't say that they have become a reality, but more a massage or a glance into the future if certain decisions are made. In class Anthony talked about the subconscious and wanting to rebel. Also that Fahrenheit 451 was a massage to recognize the subconscious rebel and make it conscious. These are not realities today, but more a road towards the future in which we hope to not take. (I don't know how that sounds exactly, or if it makes sense.)
Bradbury would be an interesting character himself. He has many stories and adventures, and is entertaining. Bradbury, as a writer had motives for writing. He didn't want to make people proud or he didn't want to be famous, he wanted to write. Bradbury loved, and still loves writing. His stories are lifelike because of the life and love he put into them. In an interview he says "my books are my children, I love them equally and as much as I love my grandchildren." Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451 in 18 days. His want and his love for writing came and he was able to complete a fabulous book.
This blog has confused me so I am not sure if I wrote about everything I needed to but I can't seen to write more. Ya ok.

Star Trek Then and Now
Space. The final fronteir. These are the jorneys of the star ship Enterprise.
In 1966 Star Trek was just beginning. Being seen on t.v.(which was recently new), was a story of men in space. 45 years ago space was just being explored. It was not until 1969 that Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. Star Trek was actual life in space. That doen't even happen now. Space travel is possible, but living, actual living is not seen. Gene Rodenberry imagination expored the future and life beyonf Earth. Today, watching shows like this we can see modern day technology. The flip phone. Enterprise Captin James Kirk uses a device similar to a cell phone when wanting to contact his ship from the planet. Also, the bluetooth. Lutenit Ahora is seen wearing an ear peice to listen to radio signals and contact others. Bluetooth was introduced not long ago, and yet it has been around scince the 1960s. What about Skype. Not long ago, Skype was avaliable to contact with video live in different parts of the world. Skype was used in the episode of Star trek to comunicate between Kirk and the stastusdwells. They were far away aand yet communicating with site and sound.
Although I believe Roddenberry was influenced by the technology during the 1960s, there was not much but television and cameras to be influence by. Therefore, I believe that Roddenberry and other sci-fi writters influence the scientists and inventors of technology. 45 years is a long time, and yet some things in Star Trek don't exsist today. The most interesting would be the teleporter. 1895, H.G. Wells wrote The Time Machine. The thought of traveling through space or ending up min a different place without moving was introduced by sci-fi writters. People like Roddenberyy and Wells used their imagination to create the future we live in today and the future we will never live in.
