      people have found ways to breach the relatively weak security system of Google and Facebook. Because of the hackings, there is a new focus on the issue. But what happens when the focus is no longer on the issue of weak security?

  • The biggest was a "safe browsing option" that integrates the HTTPS protocol for secure connections. That technical tweak will help solve a gaping hole that let hijackers grab control of Facebook accounts accessed through public Wi-Fi hotspots.

  • “The Internet is starting to rotate around the axis of Facebook — not everything, but everything social,” Mr. Rohan said. “Yahoo and Flickr don’t really have the gravitational pull that would make Flickr the axis that they once imagined.”
  • A pioneer in combining photos with social networking features, Flickr is facing a stiff challenge from newer services. In addition to fighting rumors, it is having to work hard to keep its users returning as Facebook widens its lead as the popular destination for sharing party, vacation and family snapshots.

    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.

  • Chemicals have poisoned all of the world, harming humans, wildlife, and plant life, on land, sea and air. Approximately 100,000 synthetic chemicals are now on the market, with one thousand new chemicals are added yearly

      I don't think people realized how pollution is actually destroying our world. Each day new ways of pollutions are being made. This connects to Anderson text because when Titus and his friends came home from the moon they fly Cloud TM. Even though he probably doesn't know what he is doing is harmful, but he is still polluting the earth.
  • In the United States, traffic fatalities total just over 40,000 per year, while air pollution claims 70,000 lives annually. U.S. air pollution deaths are equal to deaths from breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.

      Wow that fact is incredible! Annually the pollution takes 70,000 lifes that is huge! How is that the same thing as cancer. Make pollution is cause cancer and other illnesses. This connects to Anderson because these character are polluting the earth and they dont even know it. Maybe because this is the future we can see how the air pollution will change in a good or bad way for the future.
  • Today, NPS pollution is the main reason approximately 40 percent of the rivers, lakes, and estuaries surveyed are not clean enough to meet basic uses such as fishing or swimming.

      Everything that we know that is natural is being destroyed for the pollution on earth. Maybe we will end up like the feed because it is controlling our life and what ever happens we will have the feed to fall back on.

  • Every chemical we use, every substance we produce, in manufacturing, farming, energy use, or consumption, remains here on Earth. These poisons may seem to disappear—but they are only hidden.

    This Article is about how air pollution is creating problems in the United States and how it is one of the leading causes of death just as big as cancer. It talk about how people are polluted the earth and what will happen if people continue to do this. Questions that are being raised are when will people stop polluting the earth or will they ever? Other quesetions are do people actually know how to stop, just like the feed it controls people lifes. Do people mean to pollute the earth or is it just the easy thing too do?

  • Another key finding: 40 percent of respondents say that "immediate access" to chosen content is very important to them, suggesting a shift from owning videos to accessing programming on demand. Most importantly, Ericsson says that service providers must devise ways to align consumer spending and usage. Thanks to the "everything should be free" Internet mindset and a growing shift to TV consumption on PCs, traditional service providers risk seeing the value of their offerings diminished. Yet, "if done right," Ericsson argues, "consumers will reallocate their TV spending to new alternatives."

      This article relates to the Feed because having instant access to online programming on the computer is like having the access that Titus has in the Feed. People rely on having instant access to things now on the computer that they are basically becoming attached to that kind of technology. For instance the feed is basically a computer thats activated inside everyone's brain, and everyone relies on it as well.
