even schools are online, the social life has changed the average person doesn't need to have face to face contact to talk or learn.

This shows the dependency for technology the world is developing. That we as a nation are willing to substitute interaction through out the school day with online learning.

The idea of the On Line schooling is great because people can save time and doing the school work at home, but in another way, people will be controlled by the technology,like the people in the book feed was controlled by the feed

shopping online is useful to be able to buy things from different places you are not able to get to. there are more items online then there are at the store

Always good to go shopping on line, but when everybody was indict to shopping on line, then people will start to lose the job.

This is similar to the feed because people can shop with out going to a store and now that the internet is on many phones it is possible to shop online pretty much whenever you want

The Article By CNN states an uncomfortable outlook onto what might be a more personal advertising than ever before. Big sites such as Facebook and Twitter are mentioned in this article about tracking your 'likes' onto post, businesses, products and similar things among them. Both Google and Mozilla have recognized this as a slight problem as they both are working on a choice to block out cookies (For anyone who doesn't know what cookies are, they are what track your every move on the internet and any site you go to can have access to them, within limits of course). Questions are raised about this though, by both my Anderson and I. If this persist and evolves, would this type of advertising become as radical as it is seen in Feed? Would the advertising for this become more personal? In what limits are these ads allowed to do this within the law? Who would pay nearly 100,000 dollars to advertise in an social site? How far would advertisers go to make more money by 'invading' someones privacy or monitoring someones online activity? All are valid concerns raised from this article, and should be considered as time goes on.

the feed exists today as it does in the book feed. only a down graded version. through chat rooms the youth find it very adicting to talk to other people online. but there are many problems with this. for example, DRAMA. sometimes it is easyer to get in a violently verbal argument on a computer rather than talk like that to a person in real life, alowing the person(s) being angry to display their true colors. similarly there is much cyber bulling with isolation, teasing, and other wrong behaviors that people typicaly only do because " they can."

Young people cop to it: Technology is bad for us is telling us the reality of technology's negative side. Using young children as the main consumer and using their words in this article leads us to believe even more that technology is consuming out lives.

Flickr, a photosharing service, starts slumping and is struggling to keep up with the tough competition they face from others. Questions this article raises is whether Flickr really isn't a good site for exchanging photos between people AND if nowadays people are swayed in a revolution where people view photos online instead of flipping through photo albums.

I can connect this to Feed because when more popular websites or things are high in demand...you start to see a slump in the other. In this situation, Flickr is losing their fan base while Facebook is becoming more widely known & is the top social networking website. In Feed Titus's dad said that the air factories are going to replace the deforested trees in Jefferson park in order to make way for air factories. Both of these situations show radicalism & the rapid pace of the ever-changing world.

verison on the iphone

while many people did go to get the new iphone many people are waiting to see if a new phone is released or until the rush goes down

This article states that the sales in amazon's ( which is one of the biggest online retailers) 'Kindle' have oversold the sales of paperback books. Although it's not necessarily alarming, it is something to think about, as actual copies of books are being replaced by a single piece of technology. As it's assumed in M.T. Andersons book 'Feed', the thought of reading books in an actual hard copy seems to be looked at as embarrassing as writing is now look at to be embarrassing in the scene where Violet and Titus are talking. Questions are raised about this particular subject; although there is always a positive to certain things, there is undoubtedly a negative; what is that certain negative? Is it, if there is some certain situation where technology is somewhat not excess able (aka, world war 3, some variation of the Bubonic Plague, or something where technology and humanity are separated as it couldn't be maintained) and 500 years later, most of the recent copies of book or even 1000 year old books are on electronic copies only, and for those generations of people not being able to read from the? Would'nt reading from the screen become tiring, and enables a more subtle way to skip some of the reading? Some things really just seem to be left alone as is; maybe this is one? Cushing Academy, transformed their whole library to an E-Book library, what is this saying about educated the youth, and what precedent does this set for the future? As changing things to suit our technological needs seems great. it has a very subtle uneasy feeling to it.

the internet is becoming our own memory and becoming addictive.

the articulo talk about one innovation in computer program that will read the human brain and how this program will make the research more easy to people find things online.

Ads affect our memory by the way that we interact with the ads itself. Its through your conscious and unconscious mind. Titus and his friends are playing music and really it was the advertisements jungle in the back of his mind going on. Advertisement's try to tell us that we need it and that it will improve are life drastically. Weather or not the ad is harmful or not they still want you to buy it and we remember that ad from your eyes liking what you see so you later on go and buy it.

I think that Nintento is clever to make a 3-D version of their own DS handheld game. Currently, a lot of things are going 3D such as in movie theatres...more movies are in 3D version like the movie Step Up, Shrek 4, & Avatar. The chief spokesman of Nintendo said they'll try to convince consumers to play the new video game...this is similar to Feed because whenever Titus receives a signal about something he ends up seeing these vivid images & words of advertisement. Basically just like Ms. McCormick said in our in class discussion, Titus is like a walking advertisement.

The idea of 3D will definitely draw in consumers...I have a feeling that now & in the upcoming future 3D is the new version of "cool" ...replacing everything that previously wasn't 3D.

it is really convenient that u don't need glasses because it is adjustable 3D

In this article by the New York Times the Pope warns the mass majority of the people that social networks can dehumanize people. People are becoming more addicted to the virtual world. Questions it raises are that: 1) Will technology & robots one day perhaps replace human beings? 2) Do you think Americans are spending too much time websurfing the internet instead of seeing friends & getting daily exercise?

I can connect to Feed because in the book Titus is blinded by everything related to media & all these cool gadgets & the Pope is highlighting all the negative effects like depersonalization, alientation, self-indulgence, & the dangers of having more virtual friends than real ones."

this article is about the advantages and disadvantages to using a smart-phone. questions raised are is it worth it to be able to do more if it means you become "less personal"

What about how the feed can cost a lot of money just like the smart-phone plans.

How the internet is taking over what people used to be able to do.

The danger of using to much technology when it comes to health. Should we keep "feed"ing money into these hospitals? What comes next?

This article is about weather the internet could be considered a human right. This raises questions about the importance of internet and the ease of communication it provides. Is it a fundamental right of human beings to communicate with other beings?
