      This goes to show that technology is consuming our lives even if the children and others know that its bad for us.
  • r, the Apple computer and the Atari video game all were invented. They spend their days (and nights) surfing the Web, playing online games and instant messaging. Most have cell phones in their backpacks. And many have at least one parent who works in the electronics industry.

      Again these children and other people are being consumed by technology...staying up all night surfing the web, talking to people on chat, playing online games
  • Yet, when asked to weigh the benefits of having high technology in their lives versus the costs -- intellectually, emotionally, socially -- of that technology, the class voted 31-3 negative … a ratio so extreme that it argues against an aberration and toward a larger question about the overall impact of technology on the lives of our young people.

    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.

  • Processed foods have been altered from their natural state for safety reasons and for convenience. The methods used for processing foods include canning, freezing, refrigeration, dehydration and aseptic processing.

      Processing foods can be a good thing. Because there getting rid of the things that are not healthy for our body.
  • milk would be considered a processed food because it is pasteurized to kill bacteria and homogenized to keep fats from separating. While some people prefer to drink raw milk, most of us should consume the "processed" version we find in our grocery stores.

      This relates to the novel "Feed" because most of the food there is processed food. At the meat farm where Tutus and violet go they thought this is how meat was made but in reality it wasnt made how violet and titus thought it was.

  • Technology allows us to conserve energy and more quickly produce goods. What used to take fifty people to do, can now be done by one machine. Is this a good thing?
    • Ryan Clarke
      Ryan Clarke on 01 Mar 11
       
      Conserving energy and producing goods quickly is a very good thing because it makes our economy more stable and by conserving more energy we can save nature.
  • Technology does allow us to do so many more things that once couldn't be done. It saves people's lives, but it also ends careers. It runs the world. We can no longer get to town on a horse. We depend on technology.

      When the article says it runs the world, it is not completly true. It directly relates to M.T Andersons themes of technological domination as the feed is a piece of technology and it completly runs society as a consumer.

  • sharing of resources among institutions of widely varying size, endowment, focus, and stature. Similarly, the economical development, maintenance, and use of materials for interdisciplinary approaches, like the way networked hypertext resources create course and institutional memories, has enormous appeal for many.

      this article has a connection to Anderson's text because not only does Anderson show s through his creative writing that there are the good sides to the advancing technology but there are the bads to and this article also explains the same thing
  • such as have always happened with shifts in technological and informational paradigms. Plato rightly feared the devaluing of memory by those who read and write, and those who earlier feared the democratizing effects of earlier changes in information technology, such as those introduced by books, copy machines, and calculators were, from their point of view, absolutely correct.

Japanese Fashion: LED. Lights for Your Teeth - NYTimes.com - 3 views

  • Method Man might have helped make gold fronts famous, but it looks like Japanese schoolgirls could be the driving force behind a new era of fashionable accessories for your teeth.
    • Robert Porter
      Robert Porter on 24 Jan 11
       
      As technology is applied to the LED lights for the teeth, it proves that technology is being used more and more for useless reasons other than for it to look "cool" or good. The trends are obviously started by celebrities for the most part, as the book Feed states by M.T. Anderson the trends of the culture are immediately displayed upon the feeds and the girls such as calista go in the bathroom to change her look completely. Although no one knows wether this trend of LED lights in the mouth will catch on or not, its the use of LED technology in the mouth points out the fallacious use of it. There is no reasonable point to this 'fashion' trend, it looks silly, preposterous, ugly, and illogical to waste money on such a thing
  • The video below, which was created by the designers and titled “party in your mouth,” shows a curated group of Japanese schoolgirls wandering the street wearing the glowing lights.
    • Robert Porter
      Robert Porter on 24 Jan 11
       
      To start off, the title of the video promoting this device is called "party in your mouth" is just incongruous, considering it includes the stereotypical 'Japanese school girls' (i hope i dont have to elaborate on that one), subtly it promotes this product with sex, of course, yet it also targets the teen demographic as it is the biggest demographic out there currently. Throughout the video the girls are just walking around all smiling, its supposed to somehow attract customers and other teens to think that the LED in your mouth 'grillz' are the new thing and according to this article on the nytimes site, its working. As pointed out multiple times over and over again in the book Feed, Anderson points out the useless adaptions we made for technology and how we are beginning to use it.
  • Robert Porter on 24 Jan 11
     
    This article is about a new Japanese fashion trend, LED (Light emitting diode) lights in the teeth. Two Japanese designers came up with the idea after seeing some sort of "LED Throwies" which are LED lights that are attached to a magnet that can be thrown at metal surfaces. The designers hope that the teens of Japan will catch on soon, as the demmand for the LED 'smiles' rieses. Questions are being raised about this; is it safe to have a LED light in ones mouth? If it cost a large amount of money why spend money on something like this, if the money can be spent on  more beneficial items? If there is a large crowd of people in the streets of Japan with the glowing LED lights in there mouth, would it cause hazards to drivers? The lights seem to completely ridiculous why have something such as that become the 'sought after accessory'? Is there anything significantly beneficial to this product that will prove worthy to the user?

Hospital Health Danger Technology

  • To put it mildly, our health care system demonstrates large-scale confusion about whom to treat and how intensively to treat them.

      Nathan Nast on 09 Feb 11
       
      Our health care is now being put up on the internet. Everyones medical history can be viewed online. This can be an invasion of privacy. Having hospitals depend on something that could shit down at any moment, is non reliable.
  • Cure of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and ALS Growth of new bone and joint tissue to reverse arthritic damage Regeneration of pancreatic functions to reverse diabetes Repair of diseased portions of the cardiovascular system

      All of these new diagnoses/cures, are incredible. This is one way of futuristic medicine being very helpful. The words that are used are"Cure...growth....regeneration...and repair. All of which is helping our body. Although their are bad parts to this technology, you can't pass the fact that its saving lives.
  • Broadcast and print media now overwhelm us with direct-to-consumer ads, most notably for drugs that affect people’s lifestyles, including those treating hair loss, heartburn, and the ubiquitous erectile dysfunction but also for drugs that can have important consequences for survival, including various cholesterol-reducing drugs (statins and their kin) and hypertension medications

shared by Christina Chan on 01 Feb 11 - No Cached
  • Many children want to read books on digital devices and would read for fun more frequently if they could obtain e-books. But even if they had that access, two-thirds of them would not want to give up their traditional print books.

      With the use of E books there would be no need for paper books anymore. We would also save a lot of paper using things like E books.
  • Parents and educators have long worried that digital diversions like video games and cellphones cut into time that children spend reading. However, they see the potential for using technology to their advantage, introducing books to digitally savvy children through e-readers, computers and mobile devices.

      gabriel reid on 01 Feb 11
       
      even though technology that kids have are mostly used for gaming and socializing the fact that ebooks are now capible of being acsesed on cell phones can change how and when we are able to read and that fact that we would whant to read
  • But many parents surveyed also expressed deep concerns about the distractions of video games, cellphones and television in their children’s lives. They also wondered if the modern multi-tasking adolescent had the patience to become engrossed in a long novel. “My daughter can’t stop texting long enough to concentrate on a book,” said one parent surveyed, the mother of a 15-year-old in Texas. Another survey participant, the mother of a 7-year-old Michigan boy, said, “I am afraid my son’s attention span will only include fast-moving ideas, and book reading will become boring to him.”

      I agree with Gabe. You may think electronic reading can be good for you...but if you think about the long term effects...might make you rethink your decision. People only convert to technology is it's more efficient & convenient but very soon people become hooked on it which isn't good because people will find it an excuse to use their Kindles as like video games. Also, this stays true to the quote, "Too much of something isn't good."

    Digital reading is starting to replace books. This article argues out the pros and cons of reading on a kindle. Questions that are raised are: 1) Are kindles actually a good alternative to reading printed copies of books? 2) Are kids getting enough daily exercise still? 3) Do you think reading from a printed copy of a book provides more family time together for their children rather than reading from a handheld device? (Because moms can read to their babies & toddlers)

    I can similarly connect to what Gabe said..just like Violet & everyone else gets hooked on their feeds the kids get addicted to their digital devices. It totally defeats the purpose of even reading at all. Education is diminshed. When people become too absorbed by everything around us like iPods/iTouch, cell phones, texting, AIM, Facebook, YouTube, etc..people eventually become too dependent on these services losing touch with family & friends & the REAL WORLD.
