hw 12

The book feed represents kids as dependent on their feeds, which is in their heads. I think this book paints a good picture on what teens are like in present day. It shows that kids or teens can be affected greatly, when they lose one of the most important things. In the book, the most imprtant thing was the internet and how the people were able to find an answer to mostly anything. They could also search anything and basically converse with their feeds. Once their feeds were knocked out by a hacker, the kids didn't know what to do. This is sort of like us these days. We can't live without most of the things we have now like internet and tv and cellphones. This book depicts us in an appropriate way, saying that we are too dependent on stupid things, is pretty accurate.

I think that the tragedies in this book are not involved in my life. The only one that would be important to my life would be the way that society is collapsing and we are not doing anything to stop it. We are just watching ourselves become less involved in the world and more digitally alive that physically alive.

I think titus and his friends are living too high above everyone else and that is not a good thing to be doing. I think that if they weren't so digitally alive, they would't have the problems of being bored and feeling sort of depressed now that the feed has been downed. They seemed kind of cocky and conceited to me and i think that when the feed was hacked into, it was sort of like a good revenged and i felt like they deserved it.
