This is similar to the feed because people can shop with out going to a store and now that the internet is on many phones it is possible to shop online pretty much whenever you want

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.

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.

Egypt's Autocrats Exploited Internet's Weaknesses - NYTimes.com - 0 views
-
But now, as Egyptian engineers begin to assess fragmentary evidence and their own knowledge of the Egyptian Internet’s construction, they are beginning to understand what, in effect, hit them. Interviews with many of those engineers, as well as an examination of data collected around the world during the blackout, indicate that the government exploited a devastating combination of vulnerabilities in the national infrastructure.
-
For all the Internet’s vaunted connectivity, the Egyptian government commanded powerful instruments of control: it owns the pipelines that carry information across the country and out into the world.
-
The internet is the place that contains all the information that anyone wants to find. By having it shut down within Egypt, it prevents information from leaving or entering, causing people to have no ideas. However, another way to gain information is also through books, but this way has become less common around people as the faster internet. This is related to the Feed as people has found no reason to use books to find any information and use their feed to find everything, much like us using the internet to find everything instead of books.

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.
-
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.

Virtually Diseased! Technology is taking over our lives | The Michigan Daily - 0 views
-
It is just that I am becoming conscious of the fact that as we give in to technological innovation, we give up on traditional human nature.
-
I believe it all started when I sat down to balance my checkbook (a depressing task as it is) and realized that I could not subtract without my calculator.
-
The power of computers is immense these days and I am so scared that our lives are succumbing to the use of them, thus swallowing up the importance of the human mind and personal interaction with others.

I believe this is absurd! What is next? Virtual sex? I will not even attempt to illustrate that!
-
Always value the potential of the human mind. Always cherish the human touch, voice and face. And never let a computer replace a friend or a lover.
-
I Agree! The way computers dominate aspects of our lives is taking away from how it was back in the day, when you could leave your couch without a cell phone, computer, ipod, calculator, navigation system, remote control prius keys etc. This makes me wonder, does technology really make life easier? Or does it make it harder to live without thousands of dollars worth of equipment everyday?

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.

Watson and "Jeopardy!"-Intelligence vs. Wisdom - Science and Religion Today - 1 views

How can we most effectively address global poverty?
-
Watson may be able to get all the answers right, but only humans know how to ask the right questions.
-
This relates back to the feed, with the idea of human interaction. A computer (like watson) can always get you information or tell you the best place to eat...but computers cannot have feelings. They cannot have a sitdown conversation with you. They cant help you get through a tough time. After Computers are made to its full potential, human interaction will still be more important.
-
-
That’s actually much harder than it looks. As human beings, part of our intelligence is our ability to understand statements without much context—“Hey, did you get my email?” is often perfectly understandable because we know the reference point. But computers don’t have context, and often tell us things that are totally unrelated to what we are looking for.
-
I thought this whole paragraph was very interesting. The slang used in everyday language is to hard for a computer to learn. A human brain is capable of understanding this. I think in the feed they use slang (just like us) to get away from the feed. To act like rebels in a world that is hard to rebel against.

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
-
As a tool, a computer is a useful aid. It has helped architects and engineers design and provide more reliable, interesting structures and buildings. It allows us to split atoms, and categorize human genomes.
-
This give the ups about how computers and technology could be used responsibly and soely for the benifit of important work. 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

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.

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.
