According to "The Veldt" by Ray BradBury...


Answer to the First Question: Assuming the inflated value of $9 still applies to the time of this answer, today the Happylife Home System would have a price of $270,000 dollars, since:

30,000 x 9 = 270,000


Answer to the Second Question: There would be a market for this system as long as the governments approve of the risks implicated.

Anyone aware of the system's capabilites would not think twice about purchasing one - provided they could afford it -. The fact that a machine could do any chore of daily life, as well as provide simulated entertainment with no boundaries is simply irresistible to anyone. <u>The benefits are worth the price.</u>

The customers would not worry about the dangers at first; they would consider themselves responsible enough to manage a balanced life of luxuries.

Explain why echoes are undesirable in a big hall
Crank

In experimental physics, reverberation produces echo and thus makes undesirable sound. An echo is a sound reflected off of a surface. In a big hall, it interferes with the actual sound. It gives confusion when people are having a conversation.

1. What is the importance of economic interaction in our world?​
Luden [163]

Explanation:

After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, West German families that had relatives in East Germany saw an increase in their income, and this growth in incomes was significantly higher than that of comparable West German families without such family ties to the East. 

Why did this happen? Are personal and family ties really so important to our economic outcomes that they result in systematic differences in income growth?

Researchers have studied this question and have found empirical support for the idea that social connections do, indeed, have large effects on economic outcomes.
