Real quick side note; there is this book called "Feed", by M.T. Anderson. The book is probably one of my favorites! It is about this group of friends and it is based in the future. Instead of having computers they have computer chips placed in their brains at birth. In the book it has been around for 50-100 years and the kids can't even imagine what it was like before all this technology. The computer chips know everything that you think and everything that you want. You can instant message people straight from your brain to theirs, commercial ads are sent straight to your brain based exactly on the things that you think about, and you can buy things while just sitting there. There is this chapter where things go wrong and for a little while the "feed" gets shut down. THey don't even know what to do with themselves. The main character gets so pissed because the only thing to do is look at this stupid picture on the wall. My only question is this; how far away are we from this?
I am letting Mahoney borrow it and after he finishes it anyone who would like may borrow it also. Just let me know. Have a good Thursday off!!
