What are the pros and cons of the feed?

   There are many different pros and cons of the feed. A pro that goes along with having the feed is that you practically have the entire world at your fingertips...except it's even closer than your fingertips. The Feed is very interesting. It's a chip that's placed in your head so that the feed's "feed" is inserted into your brain. This allows for less space to be taken up whether it be in your hand or pocket. It also is much less time consuming to have it in your head. For example, you can't physically lose the feed like you can lose a phone or other device. You can't leave your feed on a bus or train or in the back of you friend's mom's car. This means that you don't have to waste time looking for it, which people spend days doing sometimes.
    Some cons of the feed are that it makes people bad with words in multiple aspects. For one thing, all of the characters' grammar and vocab in the text is horrible; even the doctor. It seems to be a norm that people have an extremely low reading level.

What good is the feed if it isn't helping with basic knowledge such as reading? It is true that the feed can't be stolen from your hand while you're sitting down waiting for a bus. The bad part to that is that you now have crazy people hat have the potential to get their hands on a magnetic rod that can shut down your feed, putting you in a coma. What good is the feed if it can shut your whole body down by touching you in the neck with a stick?
