2) The nature of the children would come a lot from their attitudes towards their parents as well as their wanting to only "look, listen, and smell." Their imaginations and development has been trapped by the sights, souds, and smells, of the virtual reality in the nursery. They have become dead in terms of creativity.

3) This one I'm going to have to leave up to you. It is supposed to be your specific opinion on what is the influence of technology on people today. Shouldn't be too hard. Think of cell phones, microwaves, and the internet.

Best of luck!
