Technology Is Taking Over Americans' Lives -- Digital Home Messaging Survey -- Informat... - 0 views

  • If there was any doubt that computers and technology are taking over the lives of Americans, it was dispelled Monday by two studies -- one noting that most Americans spend more time with their computers than with their spouses, the other revealing many drivers are e-mailing and instant messaging while driving.

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.

Earth Problems - Pollution - 2 views

  • 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
    • Elizabeth Hughes
       
      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.
    • Elizabeth Hughes
       
      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.
  • Today, NPS pollution is the main reason approximately 40 percent of the rivers, lakes, and estuaries surveyed are not clean enough to meet basic uses such as fishing or swimming.
    • Elizabeth Hughes
       
      Everything that we know that is natural is being destroyed for the pollution on earth. Maybe we will end up like the feed because it is controlling our life and what ever happens we will have the feed to fall back on.

    This Article is about how air pollution is creating problems in the United States and how it is one of the leading causes of death just as big as cancer. It talk about how people are polluted the earth and what will happen if people continue to do this. Questions that are being raised are when will people stop polluting the earth or will they ever? Other quesetions are do people actually know how to stop, just like the feed it controls people lifes. Do people mean to pollute the earth or is it just the easy thing too do?

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.
    • Kevin Zhou
       
      Everyone is too dependent on internet, similar to how everyone is too dependent on the feed in Feed.
  • 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.
    • Kevin Zhou
       
      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

shared by Ryan Clarke on 16 Feb 11 - No Cached
  • 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.
    • Ryan Clarke
       
      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.

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.
    • Lany Miller
       
      People depend on all types of technology. Even little things, to work up words, and directions. Its as if people can't follow a printed out map.
  • 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.
    • Lany Miller
       
      People need to be able to use their own brains instead of relying on technology. Since the feed is implanted into Titus and his friends' brains, they can't use their own brain power to think.
  • 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.
    • Lany Miller
       
      People are beginning to forget what the human mind is capable of doing. In feed they forget to just how easy it can be to think for yourself and have your own thoughts.

    • Hank von GnarSlayer
       
      Yuck! Sounds like technology really is trying to replace every aspect of life. That last bit about virtual sex sounds ridiculous but with the way technology advances, there might be an app for that soon!
  • 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.
    • Hank von GnarSlayer
       
      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?

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.

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

  • How can we most effectively address global poverty?
    • Nathan Nast
       
      Can Watson give us the answers we need to get out of the economic hole we are in today? I believe we are going to rely on computers like Watson to much, and technology will go in the direction of the feed.
  • Watson may be able to get all the answers right, but only humans know how to ask the right questions.
    • Nathan Nast
       
      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.
    • Nathan Nast
       
      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. 
  •  
    Watson, not only taking over jeopardy but also taking over the world.

    its not perfected just yet but they are working on it but i think its cheating and also its not interesting to watch play

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.
    • john peacen
       
      this relates to the book because titus and his friend are very dependent to the technology that even the technology think for them
    • john peacen
       
      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
    • Dan Tusler
       
      This relates to the story because the thirst for power in Feed is overpowering the logical descionmaking part of our inteligance. It makes us want to make things more efficent even when their working just fine. If it aint broke don't fix 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.
    • Dan Tusler
       
      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

    the article discuss the point how the people dependent in technology can produce big disaster when all this technology not be available, because all the architects and doctor etc.

      Processing foods can be a good thing. Because there getting rid of the things that are not healthy for our body.
