After reading the first third of Feed, I became scared. In no way do I want to live in a world where I have a computer chip in my head to the point where my head is not even considered an organ. While I think casually taking a trip to the moon for spring break sounds exhilarating, I would rather stick to a beach vacation than live with a feed. The one idea from Feed that made me afraid was the fact that everyone is equally super smart. I think that what distinguishes us from each other is our knowledge. Others are talented and smarter in some aspects of life than others, but that help defines who we are. I think the world become an extremely boring utopia if we all had the same knowledge. Anderson states, “you can be supersmart without ever working. Everyone is supersmart now” (47).  The idea of hard work and dedication is completely lost in the new world. I was also upset by the fact that reading and writing had become obsolete. It has been ingrained in my head that a child first needs to read and write and then all education builds off of this. Without these fundamentals, the need for education and the desire for knowledge are gone. No wonder they think the moon and mars are boring. If you never had to try in life and everything you needed was in a computer chip in your head than everything would seem pretty mundane to me too. I also think I would become annoyed with the fact that any company or organization could send commercials and advertisements through the feed. For example, “…the cola with the refreshing taste of citrus and butter…”(26). In the book I become irritated that these ads disrupted the flow of writing and made me think that due to these commercials constantly bombarding one’s feed that everyone would be easily distracted and have a short attention span. While reading this book made me fearful and I found lots of examples of things that bothered me about life in the future, I am intrigued to learn more about the world these teenagers live in.
