Also they are quick because you can communicate in seconds with everybody, and also you can send important information and documents in seconds in any place…
- stephen richards on 09 Feb 11
  
  Being able to talk and search the web and your phones documents simultaneously makes accomplishing tasks easier and you can share what you find while still talking on the phone. Anderson uses this idea in a similar way with the feed when Titus and Violet are talking after their day at the mall, "look at everything i got from the feed. its going crazy with every thing we looked at today. its trying to work for me...' violet started to forward me things. there were sites for the spotlights and the dresses and endoscopy kits and she sent them in flurries. once they started coming, they started to call others to them, and i could feel them doing that call, and they were all around me"(106). Anderson's use of the feed in this way connects us to the story and shows us an underlying current in our own society that could potentially turn in to this.

they can be complicated and finally, they are less personal.

Also Smartphones are complicated because sometimes they require programs that are difficult to learn and there maybe a need to download new programs in order to have a better performance;

social interaction

How did we ever manage without personal computers, the Internet, cell phones, iPods and 24 hour cable news?
- stephen richards on 04 Feb 11
  
  To some people, like Titus, they cannot understand how a world before technology could have functioned, and why some one now would choose to use an outdated and slower technology. in the story Titus is confused when Violet takes out a pen and paper and begins to write, "[he] looked at her funny. 'You write?' [He] said. 'With a pen?'" His confusion as to why she would choose to use a slower more difficult way of technology is not dissimilar to how teenagers today look when someone uses an outdated technology, which M.T. Anderson uses to suggest that we are not very far off from this world.

An increased use of technology is causing people to become less capable of carrying on a social interaction with another person.

The problem with texting is that people have gotten so use to it to the point that they have no idea how to carry on a conversation with another person anymore..the word "YES" is just a few keystrokes away!
- stephen richards on 25 Jan 11
  
  This idea that people would rather text than actually carry out a conversation with someone has an essence of truth behind it, and M.T. Anderson touches on this when Titus' father comes to visit the hospital and instead of talking to his son he tries to M-chat him thus saying that people would rather talk through technology than verbally.

I am not fully against it( obviously i'm on the computer typing this thread)
- stephen richards on 25 Jan 11
  
  The writer is advocating a step back from an overuse of technology but is using technology to voice his ideas. Almost this exact idea occurs in the book when the kids are driving past the people protesting the feed, while using the feed to broadcast their protest of the feed.

The problem with today's world is that people are too stuck on their WANTS!! and not on their NEEDS!...whats funny is that people are being brain washed to think that these "wants" are "the NEEDS"
- stephen richards on 25 Jan 11
  
  This idea the writer is touching upon that people are beginning to think that what they want is actually what they need because technology tells them it is, is exactly what the feed does when it "knows" you so well that it "knows everything you want and hope for, sometimes before you even know what those things are."(48)

This article is about how technology has made us lazy and how people rely to heavily on it to do simple tasks. Questions are raised about if we begin to, as we have, rely on technology too much will we end up losing the ability to think for our selves?
