@paperandink409 for example, pictures are so important, and it can be nice to have a camera with us at all times through phones, but on the flip side i feel like it can skew our attention to details and affects simply being in the moment when we can just snap a pic to preserve a memory #sf409

@paperandink409 i’ve been thinking about that quote a lot too, in the sense that perhaps technology will be the death of memory instead #sf409

I was expecting Margot from All Summer in a Day to have powers like Stephen King’s Carrie; figured she was gonna come out of that closet and make those kids regret their cruelty by setting the place ablaze or something #sf409

reading HTLSIASFU really makes me consider how so often I long for the past or worry about the future, rather than focusing on the present #SF409

austin from grasshopper jungle is like a mix of corey from boy meets world and nick from big mouth #sf409

i knew that the tributes were filmed and broadcast while in the arena, but never realized until now that they have to worry about cameras as soon as “festivities” surrounding the hunger games begin. the capitol makes it as much of a spectacle as possible #sf409

kendra’s obsession with the Ghost soft drink makes me think of the snickers commercials, especially since she craves them even more when she’s stressed #yourenotyouwhenyourehungry #yourenotyouunlessyoudown12ghostsaday #SF409

toby calls himself a “junkie for collecting vid” and i can honestly relate cause i take so many random pics and vids with my phone just because i can #sf409

discussing that Rabbit may have released certain medical advancements and cures to advance his own game makes me suspicious that the medical field does the same type of thing to us right now 😷 #sf409

this article is about biohacking: controlling human biology using technology

the mindset that we “don’t need to accept our bodies’ shortcomings” makes me wonder how far we are from the medical advancements of rainbows end #sf409

@42shahs As soon as I started that reading I immediately thought of social media too; in the intro, it talked about how “illusion is sacred,” and although a huge percent of online profiles are simply an illusion, we still revere what we see on them #sf409

Nina telling Violet that no one would sponsor the repair of her feed because she wasn’t a “reliable investment” was so disturbing and heartbreaking. The corporations didn’t care about her well being because she was not a manipulated consumer #SF409

[taylor @taylor_e409]

Before the Feed people would have to carry their technology, "like if you carried your lungs in a briefcase and opened it to breathe." We spend so much time on our phones or computers and have to choose to pick them up, imagine having them hooked up directly to our brains. #sf409
