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.
