In this story they are so advanced in their technology that the characters in this story don't even need to lift a finger. But this has set  them far back because they can't do normal day to day activities.  ]]> 2017-09-22 17:10:02 UTC https://padlet.com/19silvag/8t7kg5kxri5r/wish/190223029 tyler_nobrega00 https://padlet.com/19silvag/8t7kg5kxri5r/wish/190223072 The overall message of "The Veldt" is that technology is a excellent piece of society, but it can make a person stubborn, rude, and just plain mean to others. It can turn people lazy and non-responsive. It can also make people lose human emotions and feelings. ]]> 2017-09-22 17:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/19silvag/8t7kg5kxri5r/wish/190223072 19silvag https://padlet.com/19silvag/8t7kg5kxri5r/wish/190223992 The fact that the children summoned the wilds of Africa symbolizes their rejection of their parents for the "freedom" of the house's technology.]]> 2017-09-22 17:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/19silvag/8t7kg5kxri5r/wish/190223992 19silvag https://padlet.com/19silvag/8t7kg5kxri5r/wish/190224074 The two main conflicts within "The Veldt" were between technology versus the parents and the parents versus the children. The parents learn that the technological marvel that is their home and the "nursery" which originally was seen as a miracle is actually destroying their family. The conflict between the parents and the children is that the kids are no longer reliant on the parents, they are reliant on technology, so when the parents turn off the home along with all the technology in it, the children go completely insane. This leads to them killing their parents by somehow manifesting real lions in the virtual reality machine known as the "nursery". ]]> 2017-09-22 17:12:48 UTC https://padlet.com/19silvag/8t7kg5kxri5r/wish/190224074 19lavalleea https://padlet.com/19silvag/8t7kg5kxri5r/wish/190225326 Technology has advanced so far that the family doesn't need to learn to take care of themselves. As a result the house seems to be alive, even appearing to be "a mechanical cemetery." ]]> 2017-09-22 17:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/19silvag/8t7kg5kxri5r/wish/190225326 tyler_nobrega00 https://padlet.com/19silvag/8t7kg5kxri5r/wish/190228092 This is a satire of how dependent we are getting on technology and how it will eat us alive.]]> 2017-09-22 17:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/19silvag/8t7kg5kxri5r/wish/190228092
