      Again these children and other people are being consumed by technology...staying up all night surfing the web, talking to people on chat, playing online games
  • Yet, when asked to weigh the benefits of having high technology in their lives versus the costs -- intellectually, emotionally, socially -- of that technology, the class voted 31-3 negative … a ratio so extreme that it argues against an aberration and toward a larger question about the overall impact of technology on the lives of our young people.

      This is a negative to technology because you really do not know who you could possibly be talking to. You could be talking to a murderer for all you know, or it could just be a bad person not as drastic as a killer. this is if you do not know the person you are talking to.

  • In a technology-rich classroom, students don't "learn" technology. Technology merely provides the tools to be used for authentic learning. It is a means, not an end.

      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.

Currently, a lot of things are going 3D such as in movie theatres...more movies are in 3D version like the movie Step Up, Shrek 4, & Avatar. The chief spokesman of Nintendo said they'll try to convince consumers to play the new video game...this is similar to Feed because whenever Titus receives a signal about something he ends up seeing these vivid images & words of advertisement. Basically just like Ms. McCormick said in our in class discussion, Titus is like a walking advertisement.

Japan plans to make use of 200 high definition cameras to film the matches and then transmit them across the world to be shown on giant 3D screens. The Japanese are even considering ways to project 3D representations of the players onto empty pitches in other countries so that fans can enjoy a virtual football match. To make the experience even more immersive for viewers at the virtual match, microphones will be installed under the pitch at the World Cup to ensure that all the atmosphere is captured. Football fans will use digital tickets to get into matches and use GPS to find their way around stadiums.

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!
