I agree with the quote. Consumerism seems to be the underlying message of the book among other things. Every chapter starts with an add that appeals to the people of the futuristic world. The product is usually an extension of the same thing and would most likely be familiar and comfortable to the people who see the add

We seem to be complaining about big companies just trying to make money and adapt to change that is always happening. We want to create problems with society that doesn't even need to be made. We want food. They make food. They make crazy products because these people just want to survive and make it so our world can go on and bring new things. ads are just trying to show you what's out there and I have no idea why everything has to become an evil thing. NO one is forcing you to buy anything. If you hate this, go back to your caves.

Consumerism isn’t a completely bad thing but it does allow the industries to decide what and how we consume things. Some people say it is good to go against consumerism to break from trends and focus on what makes people truly happy so the industries cannot control us.

I think I'm tired of all this "Technology bad
book good" talk. I hear enough of it. So I'm not really enjoying these articles very much.

I agree with the quote because as time goes on, people become more and more interested in different things and want more of that certain item.

i agree with the quote because as technology advances people get more caught up in what they could have and whats going to be in the future that they lost sight on the now and the current things in life. rather than live and act in the present everyone focus on later. technology consumes most people to the point that they stop even knowing what happens around them.

yeah I agree with the quote because I think technology is a big problem in a lot of different ways now days

technology changes the way people consume things because as technology advances it is able to remember what you like and what you tend to buy.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the quote. I think technology has changed a lot and has consumed a lot of our time.

I agree with the quote because the novel shows us how society is consumed by technology

anytime a brand new phone, car, computer, etc. comes out, all people want to do is buy it because it looks cooler or has some new feature that the one they already has doesn't. that is consumerism in todays society. who is going to get the next best thing. the market has sucked people in, and all people do is buy.

I agree with Dick's novel shows the relationship between the society in the novel and consumerism. He shows it by using informational machines to predict what a person or group of people may buy.

I agree with the quote because Dick's novel does explore the Ubikquity of the ad and its relation to the formation of a humanity that is synthesized with information machines and he does this through the ads about Ubik based products at the beginning of each chapter and through use of consumerism in the novel

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology has changed and advanced the way people consume things.

# data[].attributes.headline
I agree with the quote. His novel shows multiple examples of the Ubiquity of the ad and its relation to the formation of a humanity that is synthesized with information machines. This is seen with the ubik ads at the start of each chapter.

I agree with the quote, as technology advances, people will follow in a pattern of consumerism.

# data[].attributes.body
Theory that an increasing consumption of goods is economically desirable.Modern advances in technology has had an impact on consumerism. The quote is agreeable in  the sense of people will follow the patterns/trends influenced with and by technology. In a way almost become consumed by the technology.

I agree with the quote because our times are consumed by latest technologies.

Definition- the theory that an increasing consumption of goods is economically desirable.
I don't see the quote as agreeable and I do not think the author does a good job in the book.

# data[].attributes.body
I find the quote agreeable. Consumerism will increase with technology in society from the increase in leisure and increase in availability of consumables from said technology.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the quote. Dicks novel DOES explore the ubiquity of the ad and its relation to the formation of a humanity that is synthesized with information machines. (edit) In "Common thought" it means that dicks novel explores how universal and all-encompassing ads are, and how it is related to the way that humanity is formed by the information that is created and brought to them through machines

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the quote. Consumerism influences the sell of personal interests so that companies can present products to certain people  via social media or other methods to increase the chances of those products being bought. His novel explores this and shows the results of such actions. As technology become more advanced what we read, say, or look at will be tracked and catalogued. They advertise and we buy without thinking twice.
