A 28 newspaper writer named Leah is on her way to work when she sees a girl through her window trying to have a conversation with the people on the TV screen.
The relation of this article to Farenheit 451 is that TV can control one person, and when they step away from the screen like Guy Montag did, they strive to fix the world's problems.
The idea is great, that TV should have better, more uplifting content, but I'm not sure I agree that the government should control it. People should be able and allowed to select only channels that contain their preferences of television. But there still remains the question of its addictiveness. Really, its virtuality makes people feel good and can control their actions. At this point, it becomes necessary to step away from the TV, and like you said of Guy Montag, make a difference in the world.
