While reading "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury, it made me think about our dependence on technology. The children in this story had replaced there parents with the machines. The technology that surrounds these kids becomes there parents. They have shoe tiers, food makers, bathing machines, and all of these pieces of technology to make there lives easier. The parents both worked hard to gain this technology and ease in there lives but it allowed there children to lose dependence. This allowed the children to think that they could live without there parents. When the parents decided to shut down the machines Peter and Wendy felt as though there parents(those who take care of them), were being killed. The true parents must be protected, and the machines must not be turned off.
At such a young age the children on the home didn't know the source of the machines. The father worked extremely hard to be able to afford such a nice house. This is a common problem in all children on parents who work extremely hard for there resources. They don't know the work that goes into fulfilling a goal because everything is given to them on a silver platter. Peter and Wendy thought that they could survive as 10 year old without parents in this virtually reality room. When in fact without the parents the bills would not be paid and the electricity would be turned off, thus the machines would be killed.
This story does relate to our modern striving to use technology to make our lives simpler. Sometimes tasks such as cleaning, cooking, and living must be actually completed by humans. We cannot allow our technology our evolutionary traits. I spoke about this in both my adventure report and my creative nonfiction essay. As humans we are losing our evolutionary traits because we become dependent on technology.
