I think this picture also links with the story "The Veldt" because when you look at it it gives you many thoughts. For example although we need techonology in our everyday lives, being too reliant on it can have cons, such as it backfiring on you. I think this image is also just makes you think that without technology living our everyday life would be very difficult and making it through the day would become a challenge, and that its their to give you a helping hand.

A specific quote from the story, "The Veldt" that relates to this picture is, "They walked down the hall fo their soundproofed Happylife Home, which had cost them thirty thousand dollars installed, this house which clothed and fed and rocked them to sleep and played and sang and was good to them." This text clearly shows how dependant the Hadley's were on their home. Theres usually limits to how much you should use technology, but to the point where your house is putting on your clothes and feeding you is just ridiculous. So although its good to use technology being too reliant on it can be dangerous, it should only be used occassionaly and shouldn't become that excessive, to a point where you are fed and clothed by technology, but who knows in the future if this is how we'll live?

Another quote from the story that is linked to this picture thematically is, " You've let this room and this house replace you and your wife in your children's affections. This room is their mother and father, far more important in their lives than their real parents. And now you come along and want to shut it off. no wonder there's hatred here." Sometimes we get so used to technology, and become so accustomed to it that even the slightest change to our daily use of technology can have a big impact on our lives. For example if your cable goes out, or your internet doesn't work it affects you a lot. The same is applied to the story, "The Veldt" because something that the kids, Wendy and Peter use everyday (The Nursery), if it's taken away from them by their parents then obviously just like if your internet or cable was gone you would want and back and be angry and belligerent. So again, technology has its benefits, but don't trust it to a point where if it turns on you, the consequences could be dangerous.
