Ray Bradbury's "The Veldt" - Technology

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

3 pages in length. Bradbury envisioned contemporary science teetering upon the dangerous edge of technological advancement for the supposed benefit of global society, predicting how the seemingly innocuous presence of television would set off an unstoppable drift toward an all-consuming technological society. When one considers the notion of a completely machine-dependent world – a place where even the most minute decision or task is accomplished by artificial intelligence - one cannot overlook how Bradbury's forecast was not mere guesswork.
