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.
-
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.”
-
this can become a big problem the things we think are great for us to have can also be destroying us and we might not even know it
-
would kids be more engaged if the book was on a scene like their video games? Kids may be finding it harder to focus because of all the instant gratification they always have with things like tv and the internet.

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.

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.

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

led smiles fashion japanese trends technology losses
shared by Robert Porter on 24 Jan 11

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.
-
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?

This is my blog: Smartphones: Advantages and Disadvantage - 2 views
-
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…
-
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. -
The new generation is completely dependent on these new phones. Its not just "convenient", it also makes kids not talk face to face. This is a perfect example connecting to the feed. People will be socially confused. Whats next? Do you think people wont have to leave their house at all to go to school/work/friends. Will It all be online? Will it all be on your phone? -
The Feed that MT Anderson uses in the book Feed is also complicated. In the story they are not able to figure out why it is killing people. The feed also helps people stay connected like the cell phone does.
-
-
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;
-
this article is about the advantages and disadvantages to using a smart-phone. questions raised are is it worth it to be able to do more if it means you become "less personal"

What about how the feed can cost a lot of money just like the smart-phone plans.

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."

Young People Cop to It: Technology Is Bad for Us - ABC News - 2 views

Time-waster: "Technology is the key to procrastination," said Kenny Kobetsky, 14. Eighty percent of the class said they had missed sleep because of playing on the Internet, 50 percent said they had forgotten to do homework for the same reason. "The Internet is just so tantalizing," said Nick Gregov, 14. "I actually think McDonald's is healthier than my computer," added Blake Billiet, 13. Though the students did admit that the Web and cell phone can save time that used to be burned up driving to the store or library, few felt that these gains exceeded the many hours wasted on text or Web surfing.
-
This represents the negative side of technology and it is affecting all ages from various important tasks
-
-
technology is just easier to access and has more entertainment on it that doesn't mean it is by itself bad for us because kids will always pick something more fun than homework because homework is boring. if you had the chocie between having a party or hanging out with friends and playing a game outside or doing homework i wouldn't pick the homework.

-
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.

Why Reliance on Technology is a Bad Thing | World of Psychology - 2 views
-
All of that has changed. I suspect some new architects wouldn’t know how to design a 50-story building on paper (without aid of a CAD program), or a doctor who had to diagnose a patient without the reliance on ordering 10 or 15 lab tests. Or a politician who couldn’t rely on instant polling techniques. Or citizens who had to resort to reading their news, instead of watching in on TV. Or an important stock exchange not being able to function because generators were never meant to be used full-time, indefinitely.
-
this relates to the book because titus and his friend are very dependent to the technology that even the technology think for them -
this means that we can not function without the help of technology. before this innovation of technology we depend in our intelligence not like today that we can't make something that was very simple for us ancestor.

But as our thirst for power increases, and our infrastructure fails to keep pace with it

It provides a contrasting view towards the book as the professions and uses listed still require a vast understanding of the use. In the story, there doesn't seem to be any depth or complication in anything, including professsions

Chinese environmental groups have been critical of Apple in the past, but the latest report underscores their growing outspokenness in a society where dissent is routinely suppressed by the authorities. Though dubbed environmentalists, their activism extends into other areas including worker rights.

Low wages have drawn thousands of foreign companies to China, with many contracting production to Chinese companies or the local units of other foreign companies to boost profits. But activists say that makes it more of a challenge to track problems like dangerous working conditions and hold the company that contracted out the production liable.

Alan Kay, a brilliant polymath who has worked at Atari, Xerox, Apple, and Disney, came up with as good a definition of technology as I’ve heard. “Technology,” Kay says, “is anything that was invented after you were born.” By that clever reckoning, automobiles, refrigerators, transistors, and nylon are not technologies in our eyes -- just plain old stuff. But they were once technologies for my grandfather. By the same logic, CDs, the web, Mylar, cell phones, and GPS are authentic technologies for me – but not my kids! They’ll have their own technologies, invented in the last five minutes.
-
This is saying is it always a good thing to have technology in your life, what would happen if you didnt have in your life.
-
-
1) everything that’s already in the world when you’re born is just normal; 2) anything that gets invented between then and before you turn thirty is incredibly exciting and creative and with any luck you can make a career out of it; 3) anything that gets invented after you’re thirty is against the natural order of things and the beginning of the end of civilisation as we know it until it’s been around for about ten years when it gradually turns out to be alright really.

this is showing how people would be different if technology was not present in their life. How people would act different and how people life are normal or not with then. Just like feed is this Violte that there talking about.

How Ads Affect Our Memory - Technology Review - 1 views

just seeing an ad on a Web page can impact memory. The findings could have a significant impact on the way online advertising is made and metered.
-
Titus has the feed control what he thinks by the ads that pop up on his feed. This makes Titus want ridiculous things when they aren't really needed.
-
-
Subjects who paid attention to a banner advertisement were more likely than those who didn't to recall whole words and facts from the ad--facts stored in explicit memory
-
traditional ideas about media impact to the Internet. In other mediums, such as television, advertisers do not typically assume that audience members will interact with the ad.
-
Ads affect our memory by the way that we interact with the ads itself. Its through your conscious and unconscious mind.
