Thematic Comparison

Alright, so about a month or two ago, I read this short story called 'The Veldt,' which I found interesting, and I've decided to do a thematic comparison on the story with a YouTube video. So here I go...

In comparing themes with 'The Veldt' and this YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olm7xC-gBMY), it shows how society is becoming dehumanized. In 'The Veldt', the children (Peter and Wendy) of the main characters (George and Lydia) have come to believe that the house is not only their home, but also their real parent, and that George and Lydia are slowly disappearing out of their kid’s lives. George and Lydia are rich, and own a massive house that is completely technological, and has a nursery. Now the problem with the parents is that they don't spend any quality time with them and all they do is talk to the kids, and their type of talking is lecturing, arguing, and trying to prove a point, where as the house does EVERYTHING for them, and that the Nursery is the greatest thing of all in the house for the kids, because it acts as a futuristic room where you can think of anything that you'd wish to appear, and it'd be right there in the room. This proves that the kids don't like talking with the parents, because it always ends up with them fussing, or not agreeing with the parents. On the other hand, when it comes to the house and its nursery, it always taking care of the kids and spending time with them which they love, and it shows in the story where the house wakes them up, cooks, cleans, rocks to bed, etc., and when they have fun, their usually in the nursery playing in their imagined 'India'. In the end, the kids have become dehumanized so much that they kill their parents, and acknowledge the house as their true parent. In the YouTube video, the man becomes dehumanized so much due to the FPS (First Person Shooter) that he plays that he considers real life, like the FPS. The man's life is just insane due to the fact of all the things that he believes. He strives off of FPS, he enjoys killing people (especially getting head shots), he believes you run faster with a knife, every time he gets a hold of a gun it instantly points at someone's head, etc. This here proves that technology has changed this man's life drastically, and he’d rather play an FPS over anything. In both story and the video, it shows how technology takes a hold of the people and alters their life, making them act differently, and think only about wanting to be with technology more.
