To the children, their parents started to seem like villains.

They feel like they cannot live without it and are dependent on it. Just the thought of having to do basic/elementary things scares them. Technology has infuenced them in a negative way, as they do not really know, or do not want to function without it. ]]> 2021-04-28 08:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468165858 daina_liepaite https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468165962 I think at some point technology will definitely surpass humanity, this will probably first happen when machines start passing the Turing test. The extent of the human mind is incredibly limited - there aren't endless things we can do ourselves, like complex math, etc. Machines and computers do have endless possibilities, which is why I think they will definitely surpass humans at some point.]]> 2021-04-28 08:55:04 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468165962 rojuspalubinskas2 https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468166730 I think that it will as people are already creating robots that mimick human emotions and analyze humans and how they react to certain things. There are also things like Virtual Reality that create a new world and reality that you can interact with.]]> 2021-04-28 08:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468166730 elena_radzeviciute https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468169017 I think they have realized what they have done. Maybe they don't understand the weight that a life holds and believe that it's just a part of life that no one should be scared of, since they read about it through nature. However, they say "I wish you would die" and "I hate you"  to their father, so the action of locking their parents in was premeditated murder.]]> 2021-04-28 08:56:02 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468169017 https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468170671 I think it will surpass humanity, because the human mind is very limited and technology doesn't really have any limits. So, I think in the far future it will surpass humanity.]]> 2021-04-28 08:56:37 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468170671 ViktorsK https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468171077 In my opinion, Bradbury uses the African veldt and the lions as the danger in this story to juxtapose the far future that the family is living in, as well as lions because they are used as predators very generally in almost all media]]> 2021-04-28 08:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468171077 https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468172061 I think that technology might surpass humanity and it wont be that long from now because everything is becoming automated little by little. Soon everything will be automated just like in the story.]]> 2021-04-28 08:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468172061 https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468173442 In this story the parents don’t control their kids much and let the machines supervise them, their parents are not as present in their lives as much as the house and its machines.

They do realize what they have done because they hear the screams of their parents and do nothing about it. The realization of what a horrible thing they have done hasn't come yet, because now there is no one to control them and tell them what to and what not to do. After some time, when they truly understand that their action cannot be undone, and that the nursery isn't the most important things in their life, they will probably regret what they did. ]]> 2021-04-28 08:58:11 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468175185 https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468175546 I think the children are angry, because they were very used to technology, because it was there their whole lives and when it got taken away, they got really mad, because it was basically their whole world got taken away.]]> 2021-04-28 08:58:19 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468175546 rojuspalubinskas2 https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468175907 The children where angry as they where living in the perfect reality and world and when the parents took that perferct world away from them, they could have felt scared or angry as not everything is perfect in the real world.]]> 2021-04-28 08:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468175907 elena_radzeviciute https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468175978 I think in this case, the parents did not have enough influence, so the children viewed what they were doing as negative. The parents were neglectful, and the children are spoiled.]]> 2021-04-28 08:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468175978 daina_liepaite https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468177381 I think the children understand the fact that their parents are gone, but I don't think they realise what that truly means. They think of it as just a temporary fix to a problem they are having. However, soon, they will understand that they actually need their parents to survive.]]> 2021-04-28 08:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468177381 georgesomin https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468178005 I think technology has already surpassed humanity. There are some website algorithms which run on their own, without help from people. They are too complicated for people to understand since they're all only written in machine to machine code instead of human to machine code. ]]> 2021-04-28 08:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468178005 https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468178936 The children most likely do understand, but don't understand the severity of the situation.]]> 2021-04-28 08:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468178936 oskaraspreidzius https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468179256 I believe the children do know what they have done, however do not realize the severity of their actions and that their parents are gone]]> 2021-04-28 08:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468179256 https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468179461 I think that Bradbury uses lions because lions are usually considered as the kings of the jungle and powerful. So Bradburry wants to show that the technology in this story is more powerful than humans and that it surpassed them. ]]> 2021-04-28 08:59:49 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468179461 rojuspalubinskas2 https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468179731 I think that the children understood what they did and what happened but they didint realise the severity of it and how it will impact them later.]]> 2021-04-28 08:59:56 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468179731 https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468180907 I think the author uses animals such as lions, because they are portrayed as one of the most dangerous and powerful animals and it makes the reader sort of also feel scared with the kids.]]> 2021-04-28 09:00:20 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468180907 elena_radzeviciute https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468181117 The fact that their parents were neglectful, which made the room stand in place of their parents attention is what made them so mad. After having something so precious suddenly taken away by someone who you don't view nearly as valuable as that object is obviously going to make you distressed. The technology itself however, was a harmful cycle. They were learning about things that are far too mature for them to comprehend and they weren't getting any variety, they have locked themselves in a harmful space because it is what they see as safe. ]]> 2021-04-28 09:00:25 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468181117 ViktorsK https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468181378 I believe that at some point technology will surpass humanity, because technology and robots don't need nearly as much resources to survive as people need to survive, and the most basic robots don't act on their emotions, but on pure logic based "if-then" algorithms]]> 2021-04-28 09:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468181378 https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468181414 Technology will most likely surpass humanity. There's already many robots and A.I. that is said to be the "future of humanity". Everything will be automated and most likely be similar to Bradbury's story.]]> 2021-04-28 09:00:32 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468181414 georgesomin https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468182568 A parent should really only control their child's health. This means having a good diet, making sure the child gets enough vitamins, etc. I think they should be more of a "guide" in the child's life than a controller. They should be able to be there when a child needs help and advice. Obviously this doesn't apply to infants. ]]> 2021-04-28 09:00:58 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468182568 daina_liepaite https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468183127 I think the author uses the veldt for the setting of the story because it is such a different and unknown environment from the future the story is most likely set in. Their normal lives are easy, quite boring, everything is done for them, they don't have to worry about survival. In the veldt, however, everyone is for themselves, it's a natural environment with no technology.]]> 2021-04-28 09:01:10 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468183127 https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468184649 I think that they dont really realize what they have done because all their life not like us they were reliant on machines and technology and not on their parents. So they might realize that they removed them fixing their problem with the sanctuary but they dont understand the feelings behind your parents dying. ]]> 2021-04-28 09:01:45 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468184649 oskaraspreidzius https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468185883 I do believe technology will, in the near future, pass humanity. Unlike humans, we can make robots near perfect and change every characteristic (strength, knowledge, etc.) also it is very possible a robot will have the ability to expand its knowledge by itself with no human controlling it (it is already happening now with artificial intelligence).]]> 2021-04-28 09:02:13 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468185883 https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468186130 The parents weren't monitoring their children enough because the A.I. did it for them. A parent should take care of their children and not leave them to be taken care of by a robot system.]]> 2021-04-28 09:02:19 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468186130 elenalukoseviciute https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468189896 In this short, I feel like the parents didn't control/care for their children enough. They let the technology replace them and the children felt like they didn't need their parents anymore. In my opinion, a parent shouldn't control his/her children, but rather children through life, for example, helping them understand what is wrong/right. The thing not to do is to not let your children replace you with something/someone else. ]]> 2021-04-28 09:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468189896 https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468190298 The parents were trying to close down the nursery, which made the children view them as villains who are trying to take away their happiness. I think the children know what they did, but since their parents seemed like obstacles to them they thought it was a way to keep their happiness.

However, they do have to let the children have their own freedom in certain instances. Why have a child if you are not going to look after it. Too much parental control will damage the child in a sense that they will not be ready for the real world however too little may see them doing inappropriate actions such as smoking, vaping, etc.]]> 2021-04-28 09:04:38 UTC https://padlet.com/geraldineoshman/aqogzygunmxwla9l/wish/1468192575
