my feed contains lots of pictures of animals and books because i love to read and i love animals of course. i do love other things but to put all my interests in a collage would call for a much bigger piece of paper, which i did not have. so i decided to put two of the main things i'm known for: books and animals (lots of the time squirrels, idky) i guess this shows americans like to buy stuff. alot of the things on my collage and alot of other peoples have to be paid for in one way or another. people create things related to peoples interests to keep them interested and keep them buying. a good example is the twlight book series. twilight is one of the books i have on my collage. that book sold millions. then the movie came out and i bet it too made millions, maybe more. then along with the movie are all these little unnecessary things to keep people interested and have them spend more money. things such as posters, clothes, dolls and other item obsessed people would want. but americans want to spend money. companies have learned to brainwash us into thinking we need to have certain things in order to live.
i think the point anderson is trying to say is that if we continue to spend the way we do, abuse nature the way we do, and only pay attention to technology, the world will and up in a very similar way it did in feed. what we need to do is pull ourselves away from all the shopping and technology and money. not completely at first (i don't think america could survive a shock like that), but gradually. learn to enjoy our world and what it's given us. not what greedy lazy people have made for us. technology brainwashes people, like tv and other stuff like.
in the world of the story, people are nothing without the feed. violet's dad had trouble getting a job without the feed. most of the people in that world have lived with the feed basically their whole lives. its completely taken over their minds. if the feed was to be taken out of their heads it would be like taking away a piece of their brain, something that has control over their body. without the feed they would probably not survive after having it in. that's what happened to violet. her feed started malfunctioning, then so did the rest of her body.
technology and media impact people in this culture.we can't seem to survive without it. we always need it. it tells us what we like and dislike.it tells us how our lives should be lived, what we need to survive.
i think titus ordered all those pants because he was upset. and it seems in that world, spending money was the only way they could cope with their emotions. whenever titus was feeling a certain emotion, it looked like his feed showed an advertisement that could help cheer him up. like4 at the end when he's sad about violet. the feed shows him an ad for blue jeans. it says everything must go. the technology and media is saying everything must go. everything in the world is ending. nobody has any skin, there are riots everywhere. the world is ending everything is leaving.
