Feed

I thought that I wasn't going to enjoy reading the book Feed but it actually was an interesting book. It brought up some issues that could possibly effect us in the future. The first couple of pages were hard getting used to because of the slang that was used. After getting into it the slang became easier to understand. The feed in the book creates a huge controversy. Some people believe that the feed has taken over people's minds and their indivduality. In the novel they also discuss the environmental changes. The earth has completely changed. Every house has its own little bubble with it's own sun and seasons. This protrays that we will have troubles with our Ozone layer and the oxygen provided. I thought this book was very interesting and it opened my eyes to what the future may hold.

Dumb Generation

I know it might be insulting to say that we are the dumbest generation but I honestly think its true. With the new advancements in technology, everything is handed to us without even using our brain. The internet is the power house of all of our answers. If you need to read a book and write a report on it, you easily can get online and get a book summary and bullshit the report. My parents told me that when they were in college they had to research using textbooks and it took them several weeks to write a research paper. I think that since my parents had to do actual work and reasearch without the internet they became more educated.

Media

Over the past week my eyes were opened to a different side of the media. Most people are exposed to many advertisements a day and don't really take a good look to see what they truely have to say. On Tuesday we watched a video exposing the sexist side of advertisements. It showed all the ads that portray women as objects and showed men being overpowering to the women. These ads are mostly ment to catch the male eye. Then in the video they brought up an excellent point. Males would never be advertised the way women are. There is a higher standard for women in today's society, then there is men. For most women they are vulnerable to these ads and feel they need to fit the mold of the super models.
