Uniformed Visitors Entered our Gates: All Hail, STMers!

For better or worse technology is here,
Does it enliven or deaden our atmosphere?
The story tonight provides an ominous prediction,
Being thoughtfully alone is a strange predilection.
The Pedestrian by Bradbury is pretty fantastic,
Don't treat your freedoms like disposable plastic.
But I won't give you spoilers, that's not a teacher's norm.
Just read it and answer 'one-ay'. Responses in point form.
