Ray Douglas Bradbury's 'The Veldt'

Ray Douglas Bradbury once said “We have too many cellphones. We’ve got too many Internets. We have to get rid of those machines. We have too many machines now.” Bradbury was born in Waukegan, Illinois, on August 22, 1920. Growing up, he would read many short stories by well known authors. He loved science fiction, as most his childhood revolved around it. He had a huge passion for it. He has written many stories. Bradbury had a huge conflict with our generation. And, that was the use of technology. Bradbury was a huge technophobe. He would use a typewriter instead of a computer, and walk to places without using a car. “The Veldt” is one of Bradbury's many stories. It is mainly about a family who goes through some problems with their technology

We have all seen or experienced several changes of behavior due to technology in our society. This change isn't exactly a positive change, though. This leads to poor living habits. For example, lack of social skills. We lose the ability to read body language and understand things. But, many are becoming more violent due to the media. One thing we don't want in this world is more violence.
One of the most important messages Bradbury is trying to convey in his stories is how our lives are not the best with the use of technology. It's has shaped our lives poorly and has caused a bad impact. Technology, in some cases, is bad, misused, and violent. Think about it. Look at our world. How would it be if we didn't have a problem with this. Very different, right? Many things have changed over the years. And, it might be getting even
