feed blog number two

i would never miss the feed. maybe only if i really needed something. but my life shouldn't' depend on a piece of technology a corporation put in my brain. i can last now without a feed. i have other resources i can go to. i would get very irritated having something in my head reading all my thoughts. something that knows everything i do. i already have me doing that and i don't like it. and then the feed talks to you. i've got enough voices in my head, i don't need a computer talking to me too. especially if all it's talking about is stuff i can buy. i only need so many things.
the characters in the book might think it's called a "feed" because it feeds you all this information. but it could really be called a feed because the big corporations are feeding off of the people through the "feed". the "feed" takes in the information and interests of the person it belongs to and it sends it to the feednet place. so they know everything you are interested in. the "feed" knows exactly which places to bring you to shop and you can buy all the things you love. this is just a way for the companies to create more things they know people love so it will make those companies stronger and more powerful. and since they know some people will do what they can to fit in with everybody else. just be another "normal" person. the companies will create all these new trends so that's more stuff people will go out to pay for. that just makes them even more strong and more powerful.
i don't understand why violet says she wants to be "normal". i don"t like that word. many people believe that to be like everyone else. why would someone like to be like everyone else? that's boring and alot of work. it's boring because to be like everyone else, there's no surprise. everythings the same. everythings predictable. it's alot of work because you have to keep up with everything that's going on. if the part in the hair changes. and you don't change it, you won't be the same as everyone else. they'll just make fun of you because your hair looks "weird". violet shouldn't worry about being like everyone else. if she was like everyone else, she would be like calista. and they don't really like each other. violet shoul'd just continue being who she is. the word "normal" is just a stupid word. the definition of it changes all the time. they think it"s "normal" to have a computer controlling their brains. i think that's crazy. we need different people in the world. we need people to think differently. if everyone thought the same (and very shallow) there wouldn't be any great ideas anymore. everyone would just be a robot, following technology. being controlled by a single computer chip.
it's feeding off of their lives.
