Chat Stew... mmmmm meaty

If someone asked a teenager to not use any technology like, cell phone, computer, ect. They would probably say that they would die with out technology. When in Feed people would probably actually die without there Feeds. M.T Anderson dedicates his book "to those who resist the feed", which sounds kind of creepy but when you think of what it means it makes more sense. Because in are life the feed is the media, and some may not want to admit it but it is hard to resist. I guess the ways you can resist it is by not listing or "supporting" advertisements the media puts out there, and not purchasing stupid things like fake birds. Just like it is now, people in feed like to keep up with the latest trends which could be a disadvantage of resisting the feed/ media, because you might feel different or out of place because of how everyone looks around you. Another disadvantage of having a feed is described when Violet says that her dad didn't get a job because he didn't have a feed. To tell you the truth I don't really know how I resist the feed, because if I was in the time setting of the book I would probably want a feed cause all my friends have one and its easier to communicate with them and da da da, like myspace and facebook. If Feed was the future of our society I wouldn't really be surprised, because it feels like sooner or later a big robot Co. is going to take over the world I mean it was kind of disturbing to think that the Feed actually controlled their bodies, like when Violet's arms or legs would just stop working and their skin was falling off ughhh. But anyways, yeah the United States is going to end up like Ashley's pictures thinking where so cool cause are skin is falling off.
