  • Another key finding: 40 percent of respondents say that "immediate access" to chosen content is very important to them, suggesting a shift from owning videos to accessing programming on demand. Most importantly, Ericsson says that service providers must devise ways to align consumer spending and usage. Thanks to the "everything should be free" Internet mindset and a growing shift to TV consumption on PCs, traditional service providers risk seeing the value of their offerings diminished. Yet, "if done right," Ericsson argues, "consumers will reallocate their TV spending to new alternatives."

      This article relates to the Feed because having instant access to online programming on the computer is like having the access that Titus has in the Feed. People rely on having instant access to things now on the computer that they are basically becoming attached to that kind of technology. For instance the feed is basically a computer thats activated inside everyone's brain, and everyone relies on it as well.

  • “We are in a YouTube society now,” said H. Joseph Joachim IV, founder of FuneralOne. “People are living more than ever online, and this reflects that.”

      H. Joseph Joachim here says that we are a Youtube society. People are now spending most of their life online, such as how many people within the book spend nearly there entire life on the feed.
  • Other Webcasts are more obscure, but no less appreciated. Two weeks ago, a friend of Ronald Rich, a volunteer firefighter in Wallace, N.C., died unexpectedly. When Mr. Rich called the mother of his friend to say he could not make the eight-hour drive to the funeral because a snowstorm threatened to close roads, he said the mother offered to send an e-mail invitation so he could watch the service online.

      People are now doing events private events online. While this may be good, some people may stay at home and no longer leave their houses for events, but instead just see them online. This is similar to Feed as people can enter people mind or memory and experience the events there without going there.

How does good technology go bad? | Hoover Institution - 0 views

  • To put it mildly, our health care system demonstrates large-scale confusion about whom to treat and how intensively to treat them.
    • Nathan Nast
       
      Our health care is now being put up on the internet. Everyones medical history can be viewed online. This can be an invasion of privacy. Having hospitals depend on something that could shit down at any moment, is non reliable.
  • Cure of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and ALS Growth of new bone and joint tissue to reverse arthritic damage Regeneration of pancreatic functions to reverse diabetes Repair of diseased portions of the cardiovascular system
    • Nathan Nast
       
      All of these new diagnoses/cures, are incredible. This is one way of futuristic medicine being very helpful. The words that are used are"Cure...growth....regeneration...and repair. All of which is helping our body. Although their are bad parts to this technology, you can't pass the fact that its saving lives.
  • Broadcast and print media now overwhelm us with direct-to-consumer ads, most notably for drugs that affect people’s lifestyles, including those treating hair loss, heartburn, and the ubiquitous erectile dysfunction but also for drugs that can have important consequences for survival, including various cholesterol-reducing drugs (statins and their kin) and hypertension medications

  • 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
       
      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
       
      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
       
      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?
