In early pages of the book Feed, the crew of characters "feeds" have been turned off. They sit and talk to each other like normal kids in hospital beds. Hackers have hacked the whole feed system. According to Titus everything is now "boring" like the picture he sees on the hospital wall. With out the feed working, they are abnormal and confused. The feed is very beneficial to their everyday lives.
This relates to other things we've read in class this year. including the use of advertisements, and the sense of being influenced by others. Also, this reminds me on the dependence on an item, the characters use and depend on their feeds like the characters of "brave new world" had depended on soma.
The "feed" is future technology that influences ones thoughts, and gives information to the user depending on their preferences.
Great points, and nice connection to BNW. However, you need to be writing more. Develop these ideas a bit further. And again, you need to focus on specific quotations in your D.J.s.
