George fears that they may need a vacation from all their technology, to try to save their children from addiction. George and Lydia don’t want to do any work, and they would rather have the technology care for their children. "But I thought that's why we bought this house, so we wouldn't have to do anything?” This shows that the parents don’t care about what their kids are doing as longs as they don’t have to do any work. Later in…

In The Veldt, the parents, George and Lydia, are to blame for their own deaths. They are to blame because they didn’t set limits on the technology and got to addicted to it. Early in the story, the parents, George and Lydia, are having a conversation about how they think they should shut down the house."But I thought that's why we bought this house, so we wouldn't have to do anything?"

In “The Veldt” I believe that Lydia and George were to criticize for their deaths.

Has technology taken over our world? Technology has come a long way, like the first tools made from stone, wood, antlers, and bones, 10 million years ago. Technology's been around us forever, it just took some time to spot it. We have made it so far that now we have digital or voice activated tech that distract us from our priorities. Yes, I agree with Bradbury. Increasing reliance on technology leads us to disaster. As we read the short story, “The Veldt” we saw that parents have made a…

Soon it gets to a point where he will have to call in a professional. Some…
