Blog Post for Feb 18
So Feed was a very interesting book to read. With all the crazyness and the funky langiage made it very interesting. I actually did enjoy reading the book. It really kind of put a perspective on how life actually could be like later on down the road, which is really scarey!! In my opinion, the Feed has a lot more disadvantages than advantages. Some of the advantages: Having all that information with you all the time would be really useful when one does try to go out and buy something, and thats it for advantages. The disadvantages are: not using it for what one should be, losing civilzation, and very independent. Not using it for what it should be used for could go various ways. Like whether you use it for looking at what kind of car to buy or whether you are chatting with a friend while eating supper with the family. I think it should only be used for certain things such as while making a purchase, and not to be used with a chatting. Thats just a sign of how we are so addicted to technology. Another disadvantage would be that it would lose our regular civilzation. We are already almost here. We hardly ever talk to someone face to face for example. We'd rather text or chat with them on facebook then aactually go out and meet them and talk, which is putting us in a bad spot. The other disadvantage I have is that we are very independent. We would rely on the feed to do everything for us. What happened to people having thier own gardens and growing thier own food? Thats very rare in this day! It would just be another distraction that would hurt us even more. I honestly think that we already do have a feed with the cell phones being almost computers and we are already hooked on them, so it's only going to get worse. Remember that the feed might have its advantages, but are they really worth all the pain?

I agree that there are some advantages in having the feed. But in my opinion the feed would be more efficient, not necessarily better. We are completely capable of doing things the old fashion way but this would make it faster and easier. This has already happened. Instead of books we have the internet. Next, instead of the internet, we will have something like the feed where you think a question and bam there it is. I cannot imagine what the world would be like if a little chip did all of the thinking for everyone. Would we even have colleges anymore?
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you, I think that if we really weighed the advantages and disadvantages it is definitely heavy on the disadvantage side. It makes me think about what this world is coming to and where we are headed. I can already see the impacts of a vastly growing technological world and would hate to see my kids be more depended on technology than I am today. I guess that with technology it is like less is more. Just have things readily available that are going to help you out and not have all the cool but discouraging extras.
ReplyDeleteNooo! Its not worth it, at all! I agree that we are loosing our sense of civilization and although there are what like 2 advantages and soooo many disadvantages. Agree completely.
ReplyDeleteIm with you when you say that technology is taking over. youre right when you say that we would rather text or fb chat someon instead of meeting with that person face to face. this is true. and we barely call people anymore either. we instead text.
ReplyDeleteI feel as though that tehnology is taking over. But I'm in the middle wheter if it is worth all the pain that people have to go through. There are advantages and disadvantages to the usage of technology. I feel as though people is always going to want the need of technology in theyre lives and alos there will be people that dont care for it.
