The Veldt

    The theme of the story is a warning against electronics and how electronics shouldn't control out lives. In 'The Veldt' by Ray Bradbury electronics control their lives and exemplifies how severe withdrawals can be after being so attached to technology. 
     "You mean you want to fry my eggs for me?"
     "Yes." She nodded.
     "And dam my socks?"
     "Yes." A frantic, watery-eyed nodding.
     "And sweep the house?"
     "Yes, yes - oh, yes!''
     "But I thought that's why  we bought this house, so we wouldn't have to
do anything?"
      Even the simplest of chores to do around the house has been provided and done for by the house. The theme is a warning because technology can take over our lives so much    that we can neglect and take advantage of it. In 2013 we are at a day where technology is used constantly every day, so we need to be aware of knowing when enough is enough     and not let it get to the point where we get attacked by it.
