Resist or Embrace the Feed

I think you should resist the feed. Just like that. The reason for this is that there will inevitably be a virus that will be able to infect the feed.

Viruses travel over the internet and it is obvious that the feed connects to and uses the internet. Therefore it is just a matter of time until a virus is made to infect the feed.

It was shown in the nightclub how the feed already has "virus" capabilities. The police, or whoever the authority is, come and basically turn the ruffians off. I don't want to have something in my head that gives others that capability.

Also, the feed in the novel has advertisements out the wazoo, and there is no real way to turn off those advertisements. Think about how annoying that would be, having advertisements whizzing around your mind, with no way to turn them off. You know how when you surf the internet and then suddenly a site starts playing an add WITH SOUND and you have no idea which tab/site it is and you are frantically switching from tab to tab yelling SHUT IT OFF SHUT IT OFF? Imagine that, but in your mind.

The only way that you could ever convince me to use the Feed would be that
       
 - A. My Feed could never ever get a virus and would never ever be affected by things outside my head i.e. the police.
 - B. My Feed could surf the internet freely.
 - C. My Feed would never get ads. I would see ads on the internet of course, but would not see ads directly beamed to my feed.
 - D. I could turn off and on the Feed freely.

Basically the only way I would ever let the Feed into my head was that if it was completely 100% mine and would never be affected by any outside things.

In summation I would resist the Feed as it is presented in the book, but would accept a Feed with stringent guidelines.
