Purpose of "The Pedestrian"

Ray Bradbury wrote the story “The Pedestrian” so people can realize what advance technology will do in the future and how it will affect humans. Ray explained in his story how everyone in the city stays in their house and all they do is watch television instead of socializing or interacting. The person that did go outside was seen as unusual and taken to a mental hospital to be examined because he was walking around getting fresh air. It also talked about how almost everything was advanced and there was no need for cops because there was no crime. Something that is common is seen as rare and weird in the story because everything is advanced and people don’t have social lives and are into just using technology.
