In the book Fahrenheit 451, Beatty gives Montag a speech about things we have now that we didn’t always have. He tells about how they increased the number of people watching television and listening to the radio. Back then they didn’t have television like we do today.

connected to my todays topic… However, those times passed and now almost everybody in this room can easily go to LCBO and buy alcohol (except me and Kath). And what is a reason for that? Our age.
