“Then you’re walking around alone. You know there’s this weird moment where you realize that you’re alone, and no one else has been walking for a while. You realize that the moment, the exact moment, when you became alone is already over. You’ve been that way for a while. So you’re walking around this empty house, and all the towels are folded up, and the soap is still wet on the soap dish. That’s the creepy thing." - Feed
Since the feed took over people are a little more isolated and they don’t have very significant human connections so they feel very alone. This is kind of the way the internet and video games are starting to make us feel. For example when my brother was younger he would always be hanging out with friends, and going outside to walk in the woods. He is 16 now and hanging out with friends consists of putting on a head set and playing Xbox live for 3 hours. At best they get together and all sit at the same screen playing live. Social networking is so much easier now, but it also detaches us from each other and we don’t even realize it.
