Feed

I thought feed was a pretty good book, but a little difficult to understand at first because of all the weird words the author used. Some of the main ideas were good too, like how they are just putting factories everywhere and look where its gotten them. They have lesions all over their bodies, cities are just disappearing, people are freezing or just stop working all together, parts of the world are discovered and are vacant and all thats left is a sheet of black dust. I think that this could happen even today if we don't start taking care of our planet and not just carelessly throwing things around and realize what technology hurts us, and what technology helps us and limit the hurt.

Dumbest Generation?

In the video we watched in class on Tuesday, the speaker claimed that we were the dumbest generation. I have to disagree with this statement. Based on the information he gave to back up his statement seemed to revolve around technology and his general area of profession. In a sense, the generations before us are the dumb ones, they created the technology yet most of them can't even work it correctly. I am constantly getting phone calls and texts from my mom asking how to work something on her phone or computer. Its definitely an opinionated answer and its too broad of a question to be answered efficiently.

The videos we watched in class this past week were pretty shocking to me. You always see these ads and things on tv and in magazines, and you know that yeah, there is a half naked women here, or yeah the black man would be the one who is the bad guy, look at this picture to the right for example. you laugh anyway even though you know its wrong, and then you push it to the back of your head and forget about it. But when you really think about it, its horrible. Its just like giving white men and men in general the power even in ads and movies.
