I think that with technology becomming more prevalent, this book matters more than ever. Bradbury wrote this book in the 50s, when TV was just becomming popular-- now most people own at least one television.
Think about it- nowadays we have things like Cliffnotes and Sparknotes; students are taking more and more for granted each year. eBook readers like Kindles and Nooks are starting to replace hardback books.
This book foreshadowed what is happening presently really well. And I think that this book shows us that reading about what has happened in the past will help us in the future. Everything in history repeats itself, and you never know- books could all be gone some day, and we will need to have a way to recall the past.
