The Veldt also shows us that technology is capable of messing up that normal family that we all have grown used to.
Setting
-
-
The setting in "The Veldt" was taken place in the future, in an electronically-controlled house.
Technology is a big theme in this story. This story makes technology as something that makes life easy, maybe a little too easy to the point where it isn't even barely living anymore.
This story is also a story about virtual-reality room that gets out of control but it's also a story about how parents and children typically don't see eye-to-eye, even when they are looking at the same things.
