The Effects Of Technology In The Veldt By Ray Bradbury

The connection is lost. You come home everyday to find your kids playing in the “nursery”. You always walk by to say “Hello”. They always look up at you and say “Oh”, and go back playing. You’re always confused by their behavior. You remember back before you moved, and everyday your kids would stop from what they were doing and greet you at the door. You always remember when you open the door and they scream “Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!” You sit and smile thinking of those precious memories. But now something is wrong. Your kids always sit in the nursery and it has changed their behavior. You think of ideas and come up with a perfect idea. The technology is bringing your kids away from what is important in life. This is the life of the Hadley’s in the story the “Veldt” by Ray bradbury. This a story about how technology divides these kids named Peter and Wendy away from what is most important in their lives. In the story, a family buys a house where it can do everything that you want it to do.

It goes to show that technology does not cause healthy relationships. In the story when the Dad shuts off all of the power, the kids go nuts because they “need” the technology, and the kids end up killing their parents for it because they need the technology in their lives. It also goes to show that technology does not cause healthy relationships because all these electronics make you lazy, and have bad communication skills with other people. In the story when the Mom is talking to the Dad about shutting down all of the power, the Dad is against it at first but he says to her. “ I thought this is why we bought the house so we wouldn’t have to do anything at all.” This shows that technology makes you lazy in life. Same goes for the communication skills, technology makes you talk in a bad way. I the story the boy always calls his father by the first name, and gives no respect to them
