Bradbury's Purpose of The Pedestrian"

Bradbury’s purpose of writing “The Pedestrian” could be to warn the people of the future and how technology could effect the people of the future. In the 1950’s televisions had just came out, which made certain people watch it all day. Many people did not come out and socialize. I think his purpose was to prove the effect things can have on people. When the police questioned him for an innocent stroll through the neighborhood they thought that he was insane and not normal because he was not inside watching his television. The technology effected people in Bradburys story by them not socializing and normal things such as a walk would be considered abnormal.
