Growing up with a different environment, Violet's father sees the change of the society, in order to get her daughter a normal life, Violet's father only teaches Violet to think individual during her childhood. As long as Violet grow up, her father allows her to live with the feed, so that Violet is able to be conformity with the rest of the society. In the beginning, Violet was still able to think by her own brain instead of bias with the feed. But as time goes by, Violet soon to lost the ability to think by herself, to ask by curiosity, or to learn by observation. Her father was worried if Violet's life would become a robot as everyone else, therefore he attempt to teach Violet although it is difficult, well nearly impossible to teach Violet while her feed is on. Violet's father tried to alert Violet how did she learn before, how was her life looked like before she has the feed on, but it just seems useless.
I was impress by this quote, because I sees the actual scene of Violet's father's point of view. In the 21st centuries, our life is too easy, way too convenience. Most of the modern people had already forgot the word 'valuable' or 'treasure'. Everything we have are easy to have, although people will upset once they lost it, they found it is easy to find another replacement. People no longer to ask WHERE DID IT CAME FROM? We easily assume everything could 'last forever', though it cannot physically present forever, we can use technology to mock another substitution. I wonder in our future, most of the thing would become clone, which makes our society become 'monotony'.

Soon after the hacked and the damaged of the feed, according to Titus' description, Violet become more caprice and being mean. Violet's chatacters is changing which caused their relationship heading to an end. Violet understand experience worth thousand words therefore she did not attempt to stand up and explain to Titus about her change, instead, she transfer her feeling and experiences to Titus through the feed. Experiencing the situation Violet has to go through every single day, Titus regretted and feel sorry about being mean to Violet earlier.
I wished I was a feed very badly while I reading this scene. In our life there are always lots of misunderstanding while lead to another unnecessary conflict, and thousand of relationship are broke because of these. Therefore I desired to have a chance to install the feed, so that I am able to 'defense' myself without a possibility for bringing up any other misunderstanding. People always says that 'you will never understand a certain theory or old sentence unless you experience that personally'. I was surprised this 'old believe' are also available in the future.
Bio-technology always brings a mis-concept to people- science has no heart, it is always robot and machine, no human sensation is involved, but this particular scene has exposed that although our future is dominated by technology, the human nature- sensation and feeling are still exist and playing a significant role for the interaction between one another.

Violet was broken because of the feed! As people's body are now controlled by the feed, once the feed damaged, our entire body would out of order as well. I was shocked when I read this, the first question came out of my mind was 'How is it possible for a person feel his/ her body is completely falling apart!' It is something mystery, I can't believe our body would fall apart without physical injured. In the book, Violet said she felt fall apart since the night her feed been hack in the club. The hacker randomly send Violet useless commercial, incorrect information, negative message, fetal order/ direction, and inconvenience physical problem, like to be freeze and choked seldom.
When everyone was fascinated to be guided and assisted by the feed, no one care or pay attention to the possible consequence, no matter it's positive or negative. People always pay less attention to their future, we only focus and wonder if we are able to be pass the next second/ task. Personally, yes I agree with the idea about we should treasure and value thing that still exist and belong to us. However, it is also important to plan for our future, we can not just sit and wait till the negative come to us. It is always too late to help ourselves out of the trouble when we notice the trouble is on its own way rushing to us.
Bio technology is a nice thing to be involved in our life. But we should not over depend on it, because our over depended would caused our self to lost the ability for living alone. It just like the wild animals, if a lion was feed and pet in the zoo since it born, if it been free to back to the plain field with another lions who were growth in that plain field, that well-pet lion would no longer able to survive well, because it's natural ability for hunting had diminish by the nurse from the zoo keeper.

Link was a clone of Abraham Lincoln. His personal significant characteristics properly is his knowledge, pass experiences, and the skill of leadership, etc, instead of a super handsome outlook. As Link's parents never ordered a handsome face for Link, all Link could have from his parents are the life of Abraham Lincoln. While all other parents go crazy to order a handsome and pretty face for their son and daughter, none of Link's friends thought he is a handsome boy, they always make fun on Link based on his appearance. Fortunately, Violet is born differently, she was well-trained to think by her individual process, she soon to notice that Link got a widely different with other guys among the feed world. Link got an intelligence mind, and because of his personal experiences, Link is able to come up with a mature ind rather than any other teenagers that hang around Violet. Link has a detail, special texture.

Nowadays people always desired to have a better outlook appearance, they died to do plastic surgeries, and automatically only choosing the pretty and attractive people to friend with. People soon to ignore the fact that our inner personality is much more significant and reliable than our make up face. I was surprised to notice the advance bio technology is now capable enough to control and to change people's heredity easily.

As I read the book, I thought the feed was born with everyone. Well, not biological born with that, but new born babies were assigned to install the feed as soon as they ‘leave their mom’. This quote points out that Violet’s father had to struggle to save up money for his daughter, Violet to install the feed. In order to have enough money for the installation, Violet’s father did not even take a ride to the moon to loop up Violet although she was sick, and asked to stay in the hospital alone. This is ironic that in the Legion, feed is something that could considered as a daily life’s needed, almost everyone need one to survive; however the feed actually cost a lot- Violet’s father was a college professor, in the 21^st centuries, readers would assume Violet’s family had a good life, they should not be worried about money issue. Nevertheless, Violet’s father has difficulties to find enough money to pay for the feed. This explains who in the Legion, there are only 70% of the American had the feed on, since the rest of the 30% cannot afford the payment.

In the Legion, the feed helps to convenience people’s life, but through this piece of evidence, I feel bad for the people who lived in the Legion- The convenience and the benefits only would go to the rich and wealth people. This is an issue that also exists in the society we currently live in. The wealth getting more and more wealth; and the poor just keep getting a poor life. Scientists works hard to invent new things, they explore and applies more technology to our life in order to bring up our living standard. Regardless they ignored the most significant factor that could actually help out to build a peaceful and beautiful society- a balance between the wealth and the poor

I am 1,000 Years Old =]

Cambridge University geneticist Aubrey de Grey has famously stated, “The first person to live to be 1,000 years old is certainly alive today …whether they realize it or not, barring accidents and suicide, most people now 40 years or younger can expect to live for centuries.”

People always want to have a longer lifetime, they would do anything they can do in order to avoid death. Some people even pay vastly to ask the scientist to save their body and let them rebirth after death.

I sort of understand why people want to have a longer lifetime, some people asked for that because they feel like they missed too many in the early life, they make some mistakes, and they want to make it up; some people might want to hold on their power; some wants to finish their dream, etc. People are greedy, we have endless to do list, we have endless dream and desire. It is not an easy task to satisfy a person.

However, personally I do not really want to live forever, or to live for centuries. I would admitted that living for centuries sounds excited and pretty interesting, because I can have a chance to see how the world changes. But here is the problem, What if I have a really bad health after centuries? What if the world getting worse after centuries?

Even we only have 50 years lifetime but if we enjoy every second, and we had spend every minutes for doing the right things, then our life is valuable, and it is a very nice trip. However, if we spend all the days for doing nothing, committing crime, wasting time for bad thing, then even we have an endless lifetime, it means nothing.

Nevertheless, I think this article is trying to emphasized the well develop of health care, and medical services, in the future, human would deserved a longer lifetime.

WALL- E

I never watch the movie WALL-E, but the trailer impressed me and hooks me up. There are bunch of various versions trailers for the movie, and I was confused by some of them. Those trailer are presenting the robot, Wall-E was the only living thing that ever exist on the planet with piles of trash. As the background music is playing with a minor tone, I sort of assuming the movie WALL-E will be somehow a touching movie with a sadness story. However, there is another trailer presents another scene of the movie- Wall-E was brought to another world, where everyone was obese, and lived along with the hover chairs. Everyone lives in that planet looks the same, they drink the same drink, eat the same food, wear the same clothing, picking the same colour, and THEY NEVER MOVE!

In that society, seems like people do not have their own thinking, they do not need to do anything, even walk! There was a boy who fall from the chair because of Wall-E’s speeding, and once he fall on the floor, he didn’t attempt to stand up and go back to his seat, instead he just lay on the floor and wait until another robots come to pick him up. Another example to proof they do not have the ability to think is when the commercial suggesting pink is the best colour for that season, EVERY SINGLE ONE in the area just push a button on the chair, and turn themselves become pink! People who live in that society are lazy.

As the life in the 21^st century, everyone are required to work hard for money, for life which impact people always imagine and wish to be lazy and just enjoy their life. This is why the movie WALL-E tried to film out a brand new environment and to emphasize the possible negative consequence for being lazy in order to alert the modern people to stay in reality.
