Why go? the feed blog #2

In the chapter called Boring, why does Titus think that the boat picture is boring? what does it say about Titus? He thinks that the painting is boring because he said that, "There was nothing that was about to happen or had just happened." He finds the painting pointless because nothing is happening, just like there was nothing going on in his head with out his FEED. This says that Titus is so used to always having things happen so he doesn't really understand "peace" he doesn't really know what to do when nothing is going on.

The FEED is described as knowing what you need before you do, is this what the FEED really does? I think that the FEED isn't telling you what you need or want it is just telling you what you should get. It is just telling you what IT wants you to buy.

The author dedicates the book "to those who resist the feed." What does he mean by this? What is the FEED in real-life context? How can it be resisted? What are the benefits and drawbacks of doing so? in what ways do you resist the feed?
I think that the author is dedicating the book to people who don't "conform" to society. And people who are not obsessed with pop culture and material objects. The FEED can be resisted by being original and not changing who you are to fit in with the cultural norm. The benefits of resisting are that you become and are your own person but a drawback is that you can be outcasted by society depending on how much you resist.
