The Veldt is a science fictional short story written by Ray Radbury in 1950, that tells a story about a family who buy a very smart and technological house. "The house is completely computerized. There are machines to fry eggs, generate food, sweep the house and bathe the children." As the quote said, the house does everything for that family, but there is something else in the house, the nursery. The nursery is a giant room, made up of giant glasses all over the room. The glasses turn the children imagination real.
The story`s problem is were the children minds start to create a really dangerous safari, were they create robotic lions. The children aren't home, and the lions guard the nursery, the parents can't enter because the lions eat them so when the children got home the parents got to mad and were going to turn off the nursery. the children didn't let them and at the end of the story the children killed their parents with the lions.
I think this story is the best we had read, and is the one with the most notable science fictional evidence. I liked the story because it was very creative and the story told us some things and messages about the danger of the technology that really got us to think. the most important point was that technology in a future can replace our family and the people we need, but of coarse if we (humans) allow it. Why is this an important point of the technological risks? Well, as the story tell us, the house did everything for the children, they cooked for them, they bath them, they took care of them, so the children really felt the parents were useless in that point of the life because they didn't need them any more.
