I was absolutely overcome with emotion.
Bing's speech summarizes his frustrations at a world where we value digital possessions and televised entertainment over what is true and meaningful. Other topics mentioned are the augmented, packaged, filtered content that serves as entertainment, the uncertain destination of where the cyclists end up, and the screens that dominate their everyday lives. I find these correlate well with the ideas from Fahrenheit 451 and provide me ample inspiration.
The irony that I am binge-watching Black Mirror in order to analyze the impact of HD television and commercials is quite funny.
