There Will Come Soft Rains

There Will Come Soft Rains

The future in many aspects of life will come to rely majorly on the emergence of new forms of technology. With the rapidly changing world, which is characterized by scientific inventions day in day out, the world will, at one time, come to be a hub of technologies. The fate of the technologies on the existence of human beings nobody knows. But the fact is that technology is a double aged sword which bears the potential to impact on the society both positively and negatively. Scientific research is at the forefront of shaping this imaginary world in the future. The many inventions that have resulted in the emergence of new technologies play a significant role in preparing human beings on the possible facts about various forms of technology existing in the present world. The main feature of future technologies is grounded on the aspect of scientific research, inventions, and innovations as an approach to solving the emerging challenges in the contemporary world. Therefore, it is essential to analyze the concept of technology as Ray Bradbury presents it in the poem “There  Shall Come Soft Rains” to get a deep understanding of the future will look like under numerous new forms of technology.

Based on the poem “There Shall Come Soft Rains” by Ray Bradbury, technology is presented in a fictional manner to unveil the many impacts the new forms of techno will bring to the world. The benefits of technology, as predicted, will play a significant role in changing the world. The world is assumed to be composed of conservatives. According to the poem, new forms of technology will break the chains of conservatives to accommodate the benefits expected from emerging technologies.

Ray Bradbury uses a statement linked to the future to show how technology will make life easy.

For instance, the statement covering the prediction is repeated three times to put the right emphasis on the impact of technology in the future. Bradbury compares the existing traditional forms of technology with what is expected in the future. For instance, the use of the stove technology for cooking as evident at the kitchen scene at the beginning of the scientific fiction. The fiction kicks off in a living room where the clock time is still moving, but. It is in the morning, and time is rushing faster. According to the poem, the future is bright with the digitalization of some services, such as paying insurance covers. The cooking technology will also be effective enough to save time, which can be used in meeting other roles or duties in life. For instance, Bradbury argues that by the year 2026, things will be quite different; insurance, light, water, and gas bills will be easily payable through technology (Ray Bradbury, pp. 8).

According to Bradbury, science fiction is just a presentation of the usefulness of technology in the future. The soft rain will wet the ground. This is an indicator that the new forms of technology will be useful in bringing positive change in the world. As time moves on at the close, it reflects how closely the world is coming to benefit immensely from the many technological inventions and innovations. Some of the technologies presented in the poem include; the use of sprinklers to water gardens. Ray argued that the sprinklers are operated through technology where they can start and stop at the right time as commanded by the system. This is another wonder of the technology.

In another instance, it is clear that the door will have the technology to detect even sound and open automatically when the sound is detected. Based on the poem, the sound is not necessarily human, but the new technology will be powerful enough to detect even animal sounds like barking for a dog. This shows that in the future, soft rains have a high potential for enhancing security in the contemporary world. Bradbury uses the instance of a dog shivering in front of a door to indicate how automatic doors will operate. The door will be able to recognize the dog and open automatically.

This reflects until another benefit of advanced forms of tech in the future and how useful it will be in reducing the burden of operating some kinds of stuffs manually. To curb tragedies in the future, Ray Bradbury argues that smoke and silence will be replaced by technology for the detection of fire. Instances of the outbreak of fire will be manageable through the emergence of new forms of technology. As compared to the past, the fire has been a destructive one due to a lack of technology on handling fire incidences.

In the poem, Ray Bradbury decides to use fire to demonstrate how the world can be filled with destruction without technologies to deal with these calamities. The fire spreads faster from the house to the stairs putting many kinds of stuff into ablaze. In this case, extinguishers serve as the foundation of the scientific journey to generating better ways of handling fire outbreaks. This shows how technological inventions will result in to secure state of living in the future world. “There Shall Come Soft Rains” is a fiction summary of the many predictions in the future world in terms of new technologies. These soft rains are the technologies which are expected to bring various positive change in various spheres of life. In nature, rains are favorable to the good climate, so in our case, the new soft skills in technology will also help us in getting a better understanding of the universe.

The story on scientific fiction offers a favorable view of technology from diverse dimensions. Ray Bradbury’s poem on scientific or technological fiction covers the concept of technology in detail to bring a closer understanding of the benefits of technology in the world. Some of the facts which make the fiction poem highly favorable to the changing world of technology include; The poem creatively applies the use of real incidences in the current world that show the need to work on new forms of technology as a way of solving these challenges. For example, Bradbury uses fire to show its negative sides with the absence of useful technology to deal with the outbreaks. The poems also imagine some of the technologies likely to emerge in the future to help reduce manual operations, as witnessed currently due to lack of advanced technology.

In conclusion, due to the many emerging challenges in the world, there is still a need to make new technological inventions through research. This is important in coming up with solutions to curb the many world challenges that are in high demand for advanced technology. Insufficiency in the technology space has brought many calamities that have continued to affect lives negatively day in day out.
