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
       
      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.

      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.

    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?

Couples Hoping for a Baby Born on 11/11/11 Need to Get Busy, Now - 0 views

  • Break out the candles, romantic music and a bottle of wine, and put away the birth control.
    • Tori O'Kane
       
      This seems like a message in the Feed people would receive relating to the latest trends.
  • For women with a regular 28-day menstrual cycle, this week, ending tomorrow, is prime baby-making time,
    • Tori O'Kane
       
      This also is something that seems to be an order or reminder to people to "hop on the ban-wagon" and conceive friday if you want to have a child on this "memorable" day in the future.
  • "There's absolutely no guarantee," Rhonda Gannon, a nurse at Boston IVF in Waltham, Mass., told AOL News.
    • Tori O'Kane
       
      This makes me think that people are going to just do this because they are told to and want to have a child on this particular date when there is no real guarantee like Rhonda states. And this makes me think of the Feed because the trends being introduced so constantly were never guaranteed to be a trend for very long.

  • According to a study conducted, teenagers and youngsters are more susceptible to car crashes and fatal road accidents. If you are writing or reading text messages, your reaction time in case of emergency reduces by approximately 35%. One of the most surprising texting while driving facts is that this activity is more dangerous than driving under the influence of alcohol or marijuana.

      this is so true, when you take your eye of the road for a second, something bad could happen at an instance, people should always be focusing on the road and not texting

      the older people text in the car too, how this will stop if the older give this example too.

    Texting is taking over our young drivers today. It's even worse when they text while driving. Not only is it dangerous but its very distracting to the driver who won't see an oncoming car and crash or run a red light and possibly crash. Hopefully none of us will turn into that now that Texting or talking is now illegal and against a criminal law.

    If texting is so dangerous then why is it not against the law in all states? Texting while driving is more dangerous then driving under the influence of alcohol or Marijuana so why do we still do it?
  •  
    Do older people text as well not just teens?
  •  
    i think that it is not just teenagers that are texting while driving. I think that texting become a big distraction for every one while driving
  •  
    i believe now that driving and texting is illegal that they have to hide there phone when they do text because some people are going to do it anyways. but now they wont even be looking at the road while they text when i could text on there wheel so they could actually see the road. other then looking down to try to hide there phone to avoid getting a ticket!

iCrazy: Is Technology Taking Over? - DivineCaroline - 0 views

  • I think our obsession with rather expensive convenience gadgets is bordering on ridiculous.
    • Lany Miller
       
      Everyone's obsession with technology is going crazy, every year some new technology is coming out and it's supposedly better than the device before. In feed they got so advanced that they implanted a feed in everyone's brain and it tells the person whenever some new trend is hot. In the book and in reality people are becoming too obsessed with technology.
  • Obviously modern day iPods and their accompanying devices aren’t taking over our sprawling civilizations
    • Lany Miller
       
      The new technology isn't taking over exactly, or yet, but it has the capability to do so. Technology is good for us, but sometimes it can get a little too hectic.
