Why do some people believe that Fahrenheit 451 is "more important now than ever before"?

When Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451, it was considered a great piece of science fiction.... our generation has seen it become a reality. Look at the ways books have disappeared and been watered down..... condensed versions, partial readings, or merely watching the inaccurate depiction of a novel on film. Televisions, gaming systems, telephones, and reality television have taken over our lives. People would rather watch the latest episode of their favorite show than have a nive dinner and talk with their familes. Becoming aware of this is extremely important..... more important than ever.
