When Mr. Leonard leaves his home and takes walks nightly alone he notices behind every window there is someone stuck inside their homes with a flicker light always on, in front of them. Another thing he notices it's only him outside on the empty and silent streets. When Bradbury says "In ten years of walking by night or day, for thousands of miles, he had never met another person walking, not one in all time." He sees the power of technology taking over.
