Essay On The Veldt
"We've given our children everything that they have wanted. Is this our reward–– secrecy and disobedience?"(Bradbury). In the futuristic short story,
"The Veldt," written by the the well–know author, Ray Bradbury, two parents, George and Lydia have purchased a house with artificial intelligence; as
a result, it has done everything for them and their kids, Peter and Wendy.Artificial intelligence, or AI, is known as any work brought forth by
technology–– including machines, computers, etc.– and is becoming more relied on by the human race. According to Or Shani, the CEO of Adgorithms–
the first company to develop and use AI for marketing– dates signs of AI back to Ancient Greece; however, for a long period of time, it was
overlooked and not valued much (Shani). As we...show more content...
If you really believe in the future of AI technology– helping us accomplish tasks that humans fail at– then go ahead. It can be justified that AI can do
all the medical work that requires precision, and even jobs that workers are reluctant to do. On the other hand, AI technologies may decide our future,
and our society does not know enough about AI to continue. To begin with, we have the capabilities to do something for our future, or else, as Nick
Bostrom believes that, "...we could be sleepwalking into a future in which computers are no longer obedient tools but a dominant species with no
interest in the survival of the human race. "Once unsafe superintelligence is developed, we can't put it back in the bottle"("Rise of the Machines").
Isn't it safer to not do something in the first place, compared to doing something and regretting it for the rest of your life? Advancing AI technologies
may sound like a terrific idea, however, after

The Veldt Summary
SUMMARY "The Veldt" is a story about a family called the Hadleys and their life in their Happylife Home. The home automatically did everything
for them from brushing their teeth, to sweeping the floors. In the home, there was a nursery that made anything the family thought up appear on the
ceiling and walls. It was the coolest part of the home but one day it started not responding to George and Lydia's thoughts. All that was on the walls,
for a month, was Africa and they couldn't change it. It was making Lydia scared because she thought the lions might become real and kill her. George
and Lydia decided to get a psychologist to come look at it. When the psychologist got there he said the nursery had become a channel towards

The Veldt Essay
In a story, the tone is often more important than any other kind of Author's Craft. This is best seen in the short story The Veldt by Ray Bradbury The
most prominent of all being Tone/Mood. All throughout the story are tiny clues and hints about the end fate of the parents, and the inner minds of
their children. Through the story, they hear eerily familiar screams coming from the Nursery. While there is still tons of tone, there is many other
kinds of Author's Craft in the story. For instance, there is metaphors of how technology can take over your life and vivid imagery. Each detail is
made in a creepy way, designed to bring chills up your spine. Every dialogue has a worried tone, from the parents fearful for their lives and children, to
the ending words of the story. The story is absolutely saturated with tone.
One might say that the story is designed with Tone in mind. In every paragraph is a whiff of something wrong. The eerily familiar screams coming from
the nursery and the talk of death and the children's obsession with it gives hints to the plot, and creates a spooky mysterious atmosphere. Bits and...show

There is Imagery, Metaphors, and much more. Images fills the descriptive story. The description of the Veldt inside the Nursery alone proves how
much imagery is in the story! Talking of how the vultures circle above, and the oppressive heat beats down upon the parents when they enter the
Nursery for the first time. It also has many metaphors, ranging from the Nursery taking over as the parent when the real parents would not play with
their children, to how people can lose themselves in the quest for better stuff as to not work as much. The whole story can serve as a metaphor for
how technology can take over one's life. The story has lots, lots, and lots of other kinds of Author's craft, moreover all of this helps contribute to the
tone of the
