Many people think that technology is a good thing, but when it overtakes your life you might think twice. It can influence your thoughts, beliefs, and interests; so you have to be careful to not let it take away your morals and your more importantly your life. In the story “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury a family of four’s lives are overtaken by their smart home. One room in the house in particular: the nursery. Whatever the children imagine comes alive inside the walls of their nursery.
Before anger and rage engulfed Peter and Wendy, they imagined happy things like Aladdin and his magic carpet to appear in their room. But when the idea of taking away their power, by turning the house of is suggested they get mad. And not just “I won’t talk to …show more content…
They thought that the room and screens were there for their own pleasure. Hence the thought of murdering their parents with cold blood. Even though their parents knew that this was probably not the best way for their kids to be living, I’m sure they did not think it was going to lead to their murder. George is quite concerned after finding his old wallet in the corner, splattered with blood. When realizing that the walls are no longer a happy scene, but more a vast African veldt with lions, vultures, and gazelles roaming around what was once the nursery. He decides that it would be best to lock the nursery up until they can get the strange situation under control. One night Lydia and George are not in their room but have broken into the nursery. The children did not like the fact that they house was going to be shut off for a month. Filled with something similar to vengeance, Wendy and Peter locked their parents in the room without a second thought. They heard the screams and knew the ‘deed’ was done; their parents eaten alive by the lions that called the veldt home.
They finally felt happy, they had full control over themselves. Or so they thought; if it weren’t for the technology this would’ve never happened. It’s safe to say that the technology brainwashed them, changed them into new people, removed their morals. The kids did not realize that the technology disrupted any semblance of a normal life, their life. Technology took their feelings
