In this short story by Ray Bradbury we can find many technologies similar to those we have today.

Explanation:

Here I will leave a list with the technological items in the story and their similar at present:

The voice of the clock in the room: Although we do not use a clock that tells us "time to get up" over and over again, it is very common to have an alarm clock with some personalized sound, we can even put some song for the cell phone alarm. The breakfast oven that prepares the toasts: Today there are microwaves that you can program with a timer to turn them on. The voice that speaks about the news and the bills pending payment: This could be similar to the alarms or reminders that we program on our cell phone, where we can write down from birthdays to due dates of bills. The automatic garage door: Today there are automated doors that open at the push of a button. The dishwashing machine: That exists today, with the only difference that each person must put dirty dishes there. Mechanical mice: What resembles this today are electric vacuum cleaners, also programmable that one can leave to vacuum the house on their own. The garden water jets: This is also something that is used today.

1. in sonnet 18, the speaker wants to describe the beauty of his love, but can’t find the words to do so. the speaker says “then in mid-utterance the lay was lost” when he tries to think of the words to describe his love’s beauty. through his defeat of finding words to describe his love, he shows his love for her.

2. instead of describing how perfect his love is or comparing her to other beautiful things, he says she is average and there is nothing special about her. at the last 2 lines of the poem, the volta changes the poem by saying that even though his love is average in beauty, his love for her is special and unique. so instead of praising her throughout the whole poem, he contrasts her average characteristics with his special love for her.

3. the beloved asked the speaker to describe how he feels about her. she begins to describe what she feels but "drop the torch" and says that she can't do it because the words "hid in me out of reach." the the speaker says "nay, let the silence of my womanhood command my woman-love to thy belief" and that her silence will have to be the answer to his question.
