There Will Come Soft Rains

The theme of "There Will Come Soft Rains" is that technology can hurt you. I say this because in the book by Ray Bradbury the house does everything for the family. They soon realize that their dependent on it. The first quote I noticed was “His wife paused in the middle of the kitchen and watched the stove busy humming to itself, making supper for four”. Also another quote was “They walked down the hall of their soundproofed Happylife Home, which had cost them thirty thousand dollars installed, this house which clothed and fed and rocked them to sleep and played and sang and was good to them.” The last quote I found was "The fire burst the house and let it slam flat down, puffing out skirts of spark and smoke". This theme is still relevant in 2013 because people want to have the latest technology and be ahead of society.
