What are the "salad days" Violet refers to?

The salad days that Violet refers to are the "Normal" or simpler days,

Where everything wasn't so fancy and advanced. Violet's feed isn't as advanced as the others since she didn't have the money to keep her feed well updated. Also Violet didn't grow up with the "Feed" since she had her feed implanted when she was seven years old, so she knows how it feels like to live without the feed. It refers to the days where trees created the air and the air wasn't from air factories. Also when the clouds were made by the air and not manufactured by a cooperation. The salad days to me would be like a family dinner where you can wear what ever and just eat and not a formal dinner with people dressed in black suits and stuff.

"We enter a time of calamity" (pg.30). What does this mean? Write about your response to it.

"We enter a time of calamity" is saying that they are going to enter a time of bad things like destruction. Ya know like that picture to the left......KABOOOM! then the world is gone. The feed i think is causing all this chaos. If there was never the feed then people wouldn't be so lazy and freggin do something about the earth, but since they have the feed shit, it makes everyone do less work. Dude, like seriously they can't even read and write??? wtf is wrong with mankind. If they don't read or write then sooner or later its just going to die out. That's kinda like if i saw someone with a grenade and i had a chance to stop them and i didn't. That would cause chaos to other people just because i thought it was weird or stupid to stop them. Im not sure if i personally ever had an experience like that before so i wouldn't really know to give an example.

The feed is described as knowing what you need before you do-is this really what the feed is doing?

I agree with this that the feed do know what you need before you actually do it, since the feed is in control of everything and knows everything about you and what you do. This reminds me of a 

<---- salesmen, who assume you want certain things. Lets see what is a good example......oh ok i got one! Let's say that i was walking downtown and a salesman saw me he would come to me and be like i know you want this bla bla bla because bla bla bla. It would really be useful for bla bla bla. In my head im like "shut the fuck up...Ohmygod" but then I don't say it. Anyways back to the real dizzle (deal), The feed controls you so if you think of anything they would find a bajillion things related to see if you want it. Which would really hurt someone's head if you actually got a bajillion ads going in your head.
