      Some people might view this as an invasion of privacy. The use of cookies by the industry to 'track' the users activities sure does point out a valid point. Most consumers would see advertisers as using 'personal' information to target what the users might have more interest in. In the eyes of the consumers this is seen as generally bad, in the eyes of the advertisers this type of advertising would not only keep away the advertisements that people don't want to see for products they don't need, but for advertisements for products they might want and need as the user travels to different sites. Cookies enable for this to happen, and although there is work on the web-browsers to keep advertisers away from information "internet browsing and shopping history". A question is asked though, how much personal information have people been giving away unknowingly?

      I think that you have a good point that people find online shopping a invasion of property. I believe though that the risks can be avoided if you are smart about where you shop.

      This can be related to the feed itself in a sense that it works just like a cookie. It tracks everything you do and basically uses the information it collect to try to market a product or get you to spend money. This could be where M.T Anderson got his inspiration for the feed.

      -Google CEO Eric Schmidt. Schmidt has a valid point that what people do on the internet shouldn't be something people want to conceal. Yet there should be limits that advertisers and any site that uses peoples information on. People don't want to know the fact that everything they do and click on in a site will be recorded down as activity and then process to be put into a category. Just like in Feed, where Titus and his friends go to the mall the Feed immediately advertises cloths that they would want, or cloths that the feed thinks they want. Even with no alert the feed does this to Titus throughout the book, even when he is just laying there or sleeping the Feed advertises things that he would want and that he should by those things based on his shopping history and habits, just like these advertisements are foreseen to be becoming.

      If our information is so open then should we even put out any information? The Feed uses the peoples information to advertise to them so why don't we let the advertisers do the same and make shopping easier.

      Because information is vital, people view information (that is helpful) as valid sources of income. Sites that take your information for something can in all their rights, sell it to another advertising company. Hence the source of spam emails. So giving away personal information is a bad idea for you and the site that is distributing your information should not have that right.
  • Robert Porter on 09 Feb 11
     
    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.

How Ads Affect Our Memory - Technology Review - 1 views

      Titus has the feed control what he thinks by the ads that pop up on his feed. This makes Titus want ridiculous things when they aren't really needed.
  • Subjects who paid attention to a banner advertisement were more likely than those who didn't to recall whole words and facts from the ad--facts stored in explicit memory
  • traditional ideas about media impact to the Internet. In other mediums, such as television, advertisers do not typically assume that audience members will interact with the ad.
  • lauren hanson on 04 Feb 11
     
    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.

  • manufacturers like Samsung, Panasonic and Sony are racing to bring 3-D technology into the living room. The 3-D LCD televisions come with more advanced “active shutter” glasses, which darken and lighten in sync with the TV to help create the illusion of three dimensions. Sony has also said that games for its PlayStation 3 consoles will be available in 3-D.

  • Christina Chan on 04 Feb 11
     
    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.
  • Christina Chan on 04 Feb 11
     
    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

      "Wants and needs", This is the problem. The society today want's more than they need. For example companies are advertisement more than they need to. They also do to for the idea of competition. People are pushing other people to use more technology.

Jersey Shore's influence on Teens Today - 2 views

    I think this article is very true...whatever you see on television influences what you do.. kids & teen encounter advertisements, TV, magazines, & other graphic images daily in their lives & if you get the wrong message it might lead you to believe in the worst. Jersey Shore may want you to think Snooki is badass but she is literally trying to be a bad role model for young girls...who for example might watch the Hannah Montanna show which is geared for 14 & younger aged girls. Kids should watch show that they understand & are geared toward their age group.
  • Christina Chan on 05 Feb 11
     
    Jersey Shore reminds me of the TV show Gossip Girl...basically it's about an elite group of friends from the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York. They're privileged & they have access to the hottest clubs, suites, fashion, schools, restaurants, etc. The show hints & suggests sex, drugs, & alcohol related heavy topics. The show covers these in adult shows like Sex & the City...and some adults even think it's not appropriate for teens to watch even though they claim it's their most favorite TV show...and of course they go ahead and watch it.

      xrays are essential to the medical field they cause harm to anyone around them including the patient.  The feed seems to be necessary to a happy life for many of the characters in Feed despite it beginning to kill one of them.

      Despite the harmful effects of x-rays they have been used for 100 years. The harmful effects were not discovered recently. they were actually discovered right after they found X-rays.  This is just like how they have been using the feed for years despite its possible harmfull effects.  
  • The harmful effects of an x-ray include many things. Biological radiation effects is very destructive to any sort of living tissue and in a person it can cause DNA mutation.

      one of the harmful effects of x-rays are that they can cause DNA mutation.  The feeds in the characters in Feed tap into the thoughts and control the advertisements they see.  
  • Jeffrey Baudisch on 31 Jan 11
     
    X-rays are very useful to doctors but they pose serious health risks. This texts raises the question is it really worth using X-rays if they pose such a risk to our health?

  • If you go shopping on a website that isn’t secure, your data may be out in the open for anyone to pick up and use.
    • Jeffrey Baudisch
      Jeffrey Baudisch on 07 Feb 11
       
      One of the risks of shopping online is that your personal information like your credit card or your social security number can be accessed. The Feed in the people in feed were open to getting viruses like your info is at risk for being stolen.

      WOAH Jeff nice point...this quote relates back the the novel "feed" very nicely. As we know violet and titus and all his her friends were attacked by the hacker. Later on in the novel Violet was taken over by the feed and lost various funtions until she died because of the feed.
    • stephen richards
      stephen richards on 01 Mar 11
       
      I completely agree with you Ryan. because of all the online access people like titus are more open to dangers like a virus, and even those who dont use the feed as the corps want them to can get a virus but then the corps wont help them for not using the feed to purchase merchandise.
  • Another risk with shopping online is that there are many website built just to phish account names and passwords.
    • Jeffrey Baudisch
      Jeffrey Baudisch on 07 Feb 11
       
      If you are careless with your information online there can be huge consequences. You can loose your accounts and passwords to fake sights that are just look like the website you wanted. They can then shop on the real website as you. The feed can access your thoughts and use them to advertise products to you.
    • Ryan Clarke
      Ryan Clarke on 01 Mar 11
       
      WOAH JEFF so true there can be huge consecuences thats why you have to be on a secure network with a secure website. For example BANK OF AMERICAS website. People log into that all the time to do online banking and if thats not secure than WOW you will get your information stolen
  • Buying without thinking or without hesitation may lead to some bad experiences down the road.
    • Jeffrey Baudisch
      Jeffrey Baudisch on 07 Feb 11
       
      If you are not careful you can end up buying a product that seems real but really is fake. When people buy something without thinking there are often consequences like a huge bill. In Feed the people are able to buy products from inside their head making it easy for them to spend out of control.
