Feed as our future

I think the world that the author depicted in the book “feed” is a possibility for our future. In the book the author, show the technology and world conditions of today to what might be there logical extent in the future. The author represents a world with corporations that rule the world in the same way as the internet. A world that is polluted and dying yet no one fully knows enough to care; almost identical to our world. The feed itself is a logical extent of the evolving technology of day. In my opinion, the feed is an absolute possibility in our future.

The book feed accurately show a logical extent of the internet in the form of the feed corporation. The feed corporation is a corporation that controls the world created by the author in the same sense our world is controlled by the internet. The feed corporation works by taking a person's online identity and selling it to …show more content…

In the feed the author depicts a future with no forests or real wildlife. He shows a grim world where everything from the air to water is polluted ;to me this vaguely resembles the world conditions of today. When we look around the globe we see many places that have already reached a point where it is dangerous to even live a single day because they are so polluted. For example, living a day in Delhi, India is like smoking 20 cigarettes a day. Also, rain forests that provide a significant amount of oxygen and fresh water are being cut down at an alarming rate. A study showed rain forests that use to cover 14% of the world now cover 6%. Every minute that goes by thirty acres of rain forests are cut down and yet this is not a state of emergency for the world. The world conditions are getting worse by the minute and i believe that it is only a matter of time until we reach the same weather condition shown in the

The short story “No Renewal”, by Spider Robinson, depicts a dystopian version of Earth in the future of 2049. It indicates the outcomes of our actions due to mass production of resources causing a decrease in natural resources. Humans have become so dependable on technology that they are blinded in terms of consequences and implications it causes. The author in the story describes the setting,“From here Douglas can see the bay, when the wind is right and the smoke from the industrial park does not come in between. Even then he can no longer see the far shores of New Brunswick, for the air is thicker then when Douglas was a child”

In the book the Feed, the author M.T. Anderson explores a world of technology innovations that demonstrate a perfect model of science fiction. Science fiction is fiction that is based on envisioned future technology advances and environmental changes that affect the world largely. In this society people would rather go out of their way to avoid human interaction, text than call, or surf the web rather than engaging in a conversation. In this story Anderson goes over the top by starting with 70% of Americans joined together with internet chips implanted into their brains called feeds. Most get the feed when they are first born so it makes them rely on technology to get through life.

Overall I really liked Feed by M.T Anderson I thought it gave me a new outlook on our world and how technology has played a huge role in our society and who we have become. In feed I was given a very realistic view on what technology may become in the future and how probable it is that we will become more and more dependent on technology for our most basic needs. I would recommend that you use this book again next year because i found it enjoyable and entertaining. After reading this book i want to be less reliant on my phone and technology because it scares me how far technology has gone in feed. Also i want to have everyone appreciate nature more and respect it because if all of nature is destroyed that would be devastating.

Humans have an especially intriguing propensity for envisioning what 's to come. While the vast majority have taken a couple of minutes to consider where they 'll be in a couple of months, years, or even decades, others have dedicated their opportunity to envisioning about what will look like for all of humanity. Ray Bradbury, a prolific author, is one such visionary. The society depicted in Bradbury 's Fahrenheit 451 is so dependant on technology that the reliance on devices is obscuring their perspective on the world, turning them into selfish and inhuman individuals. In fact, the entertainment is not only a illusion, but a way to control people 's behaviors, thoughts, and interactions by replacing human connection; therefore, destroying

Contemporary society is a variety of all things good and bad that one might misinterpret as perfect if glanced upon with a pair of rose colored glasses. While new inventions and scientific breakthroughs, have lead to daily life and communication becoming easier to handle and manage, as a society humanity often times fails to see the adverse effects of these technological pursuits on itself.
