  • A "binding effect" between the microwaved food and any atmospheric radioactivity is created, causing a marked increase in the amount of alpha and beta particle saturation in the food.

      Cancer is can grow in the stomach from the radioactivity that is in the food after you heat it up in the microwave.
  • The vital energy field content of all tested foods dropped 60-90%. Digestibility of fruits and vegetables reduced: Microwaving lowers the metabolic behaviour and integration-process capability of alkaloids, glucosides, alactosides and nitrilosides.

    Microwaves take a huge part in our society today. The radioactivity is very harmful to our lives by creating direct exposer of humans. The increase of radioactivity can cause a "binding effect" between the micro-waved food causing a marked increase in the amount of alpha and beta particle saturation in the food. This also effects our digestive system by the unstable catabolism of micro-waved food alters their elemental food substances, causing disorders in the digestive system. Also electrical impulses in the junction potentials of the cerebrum degenerate and break down.

egypt Internet shut down

shared by Kevin Zhou on 17 Feb 11 - No Cached
  • But now, as Egyptian engineers begin to assess fragmentary evidence and their own knowledge of the Egyptian Internet’s construction, they are beginning to understand what, in effect, hit them. Interviews with many of those engineers, as well as an examination of data collected around the world during the blackout, indicate that the government exploited a devastating combination of vulnerabilities in the national infrastructure.

      Everyone is too dependent on internet, similar to how everyone is too dependent on the feed in Feed.
  • For all the Internet’s vaunted connectivity, the Egyptian government commanded powerful instruments of control: it owns the pipelines that carry information across the country and out into the world.

      The internet is the place that contains all the information that anyone wants to find. By having it shut down within Egypt, it prevents information from leaving or entering, causing people to have no ideas. However, another way to gain information is also through books, but this way has become less common around people as the faster internet. This is related to the Feed as people has found no reason to use books to find any information and use their feed to find everything, much like us using the internet to find everything instead of books.

      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?

      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.
  • "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."

      Robert Porter on 09 Feb 11
       
      -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.
    • Jeffrey Baudisch
      Jeffrey Baudisch on 14 Feb 11
       
      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.
    • Robert Porter
      Robert Porter on 01 Mar 11
       
      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.

The way computers dominate aspects of our lives is taking away from how it was back in the day, when you could leave your couch without a cell phone, computer, ipod, calculator, navigation system, remote control prius keys etc. This makes me wonder, does technology really make life easier? Or does it make it harder to live without thousands of dollars worth of equipment everyday?

    Texting is taking over our young drivers today. It's even worse when they text while driving.

    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."
