Shopping Online Risks - 1 views

  • 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
       
      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.
    • Ryan Clarke
       
      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
       
      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
       
      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
       
      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
       
      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.
    • Nathan Nast
       
      Thats is a GREAT POINT Jeff...People now are going through ebay and craigs list, because itS FAST and its CHEEP. Now in todays society, TIME is MONEY. No exceptions.
    • stephen richards
       
      Nathan That is a good point you had about jeffs GREAT POINT. also cheap is spelled cheap not cheep but i digress. it is true that through ebay and craigs list we are less conscious about how much we spend because until the credit card bill arrives you dont see the total of what you buy and that will begin to add up.

How Ads Affect Our Memory - Technology Review - 1 views

  • just seeing an ad on a Web page can impact memory. The findings could have a significant impact on the way online advertising is made and metered.
    • lauren hanson
       
      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.
  •  
    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.

Japan plans high-tech World Cup 2022 bid - Telegraph - 0 views

  • The country, which co-hosted the football tournament with Korea in 2002, hopes to convince Fifa to award it the tournament for a second time with an elaborate high-tech bid. Japan plans to make use of 200 high definition cameras to film the matches and then transmit them across the world to be shown on giant 3D screens. The Japanese are even considering ways to project 3D representations of the players onto empty pitches in other countries so that fans can enjoy a virtual football match. To make the experience even more immersive for viewers at the virtual match, microphones will be installed under the pitch at the World Cup to ensure that all the atmosphere is captured. Football fans will use digital tickets to get into matches and use GPS to find their way around stadiums.

      This article shows that people are becoming attached to technology so much that even watching a virtual game where no one is really present, and buying tickets to these games are now becoming enjoyable. Will the world soon be taken over by technology?

Cell Phones for Kids - Pros and Cons - 0 views

  • safety for kids since a cell phone can be used to determine the whereabouts of kids and the kids can also call the parents in case of emergency when they need help.
    • kaylyn kilmain
       
      a good pro for having a cell phone at a young age is to make sure were ever they are, they are safe.
    • Lany Miller
       
      I agree!! But what could be a con?
  • Nowadays with the increasing number of threats at schools, it is obvious for parents to be worried about their child’s safety
  • s for the cons of cell phones, there are many. First and foremost, the parents have to be really sure whether their child is capable of handling the responsibility of carrying a mobile phone. Having a cell phone might lead the child to all the probable ways in which the cell phone can be misused. It is one thing to make the children comfortable with technology but giving them their very own mobile phone at an early age might turn them into mobile junkies who are addicted to their mobile phones with constant short messaging, cell phone games and other add-ons. Also think of it from the health point of view. In a world where we hear reports about excessive use of mobile phones being harmful for the health, how could we possibly allow the children to be exposed to these threats?
    • Elizabeth Hughes
       
      I can see why parents would be hesititant to get their kids a cell phone, but i think it is useful for kids to get one because if they were every need a situation when they needed to get in contact with their parents they will have it.
    • natasha badohu
       
      I feel that most kids who do have a cellphone still barely keep in contact with there parents, or ignore texts/calls from them. I actually know teenagers that do this exactly, which totally defeats the purpose of there parents buying them the cell phone i the first place.

  • wever even if the cell phones are provided with the safety interests in mind, the kids will soon start demanding the higher range and fancy cell phones that would be next in line. Providing expensive mobile phone to kids would actually attract muggers and threaten your child’s security instead of safeguarding it
    • Elizabeth Hughes
       
      again this shows how kids should have cell phone to make sure that their protected in situation. This will help them be safe in all situations.
  •  
    cell phones are now not only for adults to use but now are being used for little kids. people today have become addicted to technology.

    This is funny because of how crazy the technology has become now. But ironic in the way that it relates to how you can track other peoples feeds, this is much like that for a parent to be tracking their child's location.
  •  
    cellular divices have become a nescesity to everyday life ESPECAILY for adolecence's. [my spelling in general may probly be way off...] but it gets to the point of a "need" rather than a "want" to the point where a teen can hardly go an hour let alone 5 minutes without sending a text message.
  •  
    Cell phone is a great technology, just like the feed, a new way to communicate with other people, in feed, people can connect to each other, similar to the cell phone
  •  
    this is a good example of how everyone is dependent on cell phones especially now that they are giving them out to younger kids
  •  
    i do agree with this, this is so a good reason why kids should have cell phones for a good reason.

      The cell phone has caused concern for public safety. Since texting while driving has become such a concern, many states have made laws banning texting while driving.In feed Titus, the main character, has a younger brother that is distracted by the feed in his head so much that people can not even get his attention.
  • -year contract, limiting your choices if a cheaper plan becomes available.
    • Jeffrey Baudisch
       
      Cell phone plans can be very expensive and if you choose to get a cheaper plan you run the risk of going over your allowed minutes. If you run over your minutes or the number of texts you are allowed to use your bill can become very expensive very quick.n Feed the people can buy things over the feed and if they don't pay attention to how much they spend they might have a huge bill as well.

  • And woe to those who go over their allotted minutes. Mobile phone bills can easily become 1,000 dollar nightmare.
  • Also, many people now use their mobile phones exclusively, after canceling their home phone service. Having one less bill to pay is definitely a positive.
    • Jeffrey Baudisch
       
      cell phones have the ability to call anyone in the county for the same price as calling your neighbor. This versatility has allowed people to replace their home phone completely eliminating one more bill to pay at the end of the month.In Feed the people are able to talk to each other by using a feed so there is no need for any type of phone.
  •  
    The cell phone has many great uses but these uses can also be its flaws. There is a danger of loosing focus while driving or even just racking up a oversized bill at the end of the month.
