Hi
First i wanna say that i like your down to earth way of righting. You dont try and use big words that you dont understand or try to sound deep and fancy. You say what you think in the kind of language that i would hear you use in school.

What stood out the most was the end of post #12. Its easy to be a hater and call our generation stupid. but you put more thought into it and brought up the idea that while we arent stupid, we are lazy and preocupied with less important things. This reminds me of a quote from V for Vendetta where he says "[if you want to know who to blame]you need only look in the mirror". The fact is we are the ones responisable for what happens to us. There is no super beam going into your heads and sucking out our intellengence.

I think the second pharagraph in #12 could use expanding. You begin to talk about the bubble but then you end it short. I think that if you went more in depth with that idea you could bring up some good ideas.

Reading this posts makes me think about the things that i find important. I wonder how much of my priorities are really just me being worked as a puppet. I realize that i am also lazy and i dont really think about the things that i find important.

Good job
you earned yourself some chicken

what up

I liked the opening pharagraph in #13. It had an easy going and optimistic tone to it, which is kinda hard to have in Andy's class.

In the third pharagraph of #13 you make a good point. You say that feed is more then a book and that it is a window into how we live. I think this is a good point. I agree with you in the sense that M.T. uses this book to get at something much bigger then just a nice story.

The second pharagraph reminds me of the quote "I just opened the door, its your job to walk through it" The author didnt write the book to tell us what to do. At no point was he like do this. All he did was show us what was wrong in the way we lived, he opened the door for us. In that same pharagraph you talk about how when we had little technology we wanted more, now that we have more we have too much. it reminds me of the quote "the biggest lie you can tell yourself is when i get what i want I will be happy"

in the third pharagraph you mention these huge metaphors, what are they. I think that if you talked about the metaphors alittle it would make that pharagraph stronger and back up your point.

Your writting has made me think of ways we can solve our digital problem. The author shows us the flaws in our life, and to some extent just by understanding the problem we have begun to solve it. But what do we do now? it would be a waste to realize the issue in our lives and not try and solve it.

keep up the good work (and use spellcheck)
