Ray Bradbury wrote "The Pedestrian" and I feel like he wrote this because he wanted everyone to see how technology has dramatically changed everyone in how they feel and act towards one another.
In the story, Mr Bradbury walks just to walk at night and while he is on his walks he notices that there is nobody on the dark streets and all the houses are dark with the flickering light in windows covered by curtains. While on his walk he is confronted by a suspicious police car. The police car then asks him why is he walking out at night and not watching TV at his house. Bradbury responded "Walking for air, Walking to see." The police car didn't understand at all and told him to get in and took Bradbury home. The tone of the story is sad and lonely and the only character is just Bradbury.
