Feed is an allegory to modern teenage society. I think the authors goal of capturing modern teenage life through a futuristic lifestyle was accurate and understandable as it was easy to connect to the trends or digital media in which they go through.
The "feed" in the story is incredibly creative and moving because of Violet's taking. I think that the feed was created because the internet, chatting, and media is entirely on today's teenagers' minds. We almost have what is known to the book as the feed, only it isnt linked to our brains. We have blackberrys and Sidekicks that do almost all of those things only it isnt as high-tech as the feed is.
The feed was designed to make people smarter and have unlimited resources in they're hands. Not knowing what something was meant at that same second you could research it or define a word or find the answer to any question, ultimately something like that should make you smarter, except those kids were using they're resources for teen fads and going "mal". To be able to define words in a second made them lazier and never remembering them because they were never going anywhere, and when they're feeds were down they couldnt even carry a conversation on they're own, not being told what to say made them lost.
