2. Summary
The main character of the story Titus is the narrator of the story. He is the oldest son of a middle class family consisting of a mother, father ,and two young boys. Titus was born into a world completely centered around technology and communication. Being born during this time period and having a good amount of money like his family, from a young age a small computer type electronic chip called the FeedNet was placed into his head and from there you are connected 24/7 to the Feed, the non stop jumble of text, talk, ads, shopping and more. Everything is controlled, your thoughts, dreams every waking hour and even sleeping you are being smothered with information. Titus is a teenager in a future world in which almost everyone has an implanted computer chip, the feed, which links their brains to the web, with its instant messaging, online ordering, entertainment programming, and a constant barrage of advertising tailored to his or her personal tastes, momentary desires, and current locations. But even if this is your idea of a prefect life, not everything works with technology. Big lesions are appearing in everyone's skin, hackers can get into your feed, and America isn't getting along so well with the rest of the world. None of this matters much to Titus and his friends until he meets a girl named Violet, who was homeschooled, as opposed to going to School and got her feed late. Now she's making Titus uncomfortably aware of what's going on with her malfunctioning feed.

World-Computers now have become a large part of life and you don’t go a day without seeing at least half the people you see with some sort of technology and are using it weather it’s a game, website, music, anything. And I wouldn’t be surprised if in the future they tried to do something like this.
