This picture basically shows two people texting while the teacher is explaining a lesson in class. The students are hiding their phones because they know what they are doing is wrong so they do not want to get caught. One way this picture shows how technology is undermining technology is that students are being disrespectful towards the teacher. Back in the days students did not even have phones and the ones that did where thought to obey rules. Technology was not that big either back in the days so this was not a problem. Even though the rules and teachers clearly state that you can’t have electrical devices in the school students tend to ignore these and continue on what they are doing. It also undermines morality because what these students are doing is plain rude. First of all you’re in school for your own good to gain knowledge and do something useful with your lives. The teacher gets paid whether the student paid attention or not in the end it becomes the students’ loss. It’s not only in classes but while taking to people or at a social event people text and listen to their iPods. It’s rude and disrespectful that if you are there for that social gathering you should be listening to the people there and not your iPods. This relates to The Veldt because the parents gave their children the benefit of the doubt and they took advantage of it and it’s the same thing with society. We’re given the benefit of the doubt with technology but we find some way to take advantage of it.
