Authors’ Note: This story is from the book called “There will Come Soft Rains” by Ray Bradbury about a point of view of an empty house. The only house standing after a nuclear blast.
It was August 4, 2026 in Allendale, California. There was a family of four and they all have passed away only there shadows remain. In this short story, written by Ray Bradbury, only the house remains cooking their meals, and cleaning. In the end, there was a fire. When reading this story, it made me think about how real this can be. How our future could be like this, with our houses doing everything for us.
In the morning the house clock announces that its time to wake up. Doing the usual everyday stuff like it is programmed to do. It is amazing how this house is so smart, that it can be programmed to do our everyday chores and make us food. It just shows how far technology can go, and that it truly keeps growing and growing by the year!
This short story really is an eye opener to all of us. On how much technology can take over our lives. And I think that if we are not careful we are not going to be able to see the world as we do now. We won’t want to go play outside or we won’t want to hang out with friends because we will have everything we need inside our houses. This makes me think of the movie “Wall-E” how in the future everything is gone other than some robots that have been forgotten.
Wishing that in the morning that the whole house is clean. All done without the family mad. This story it shows how are future could be like in 14 or 15 years. However, the author had a great imagination of how he could imagine the house to be, and all the description. It doesn’t matter how long the story was, it still had detail. The detail of the time, and changing of the scenes.
