When she says this Violet is asking Titus to have a real conversation with her and not communicated through their feeds after they were too angry to talk out loud, which appears as an uncommon action for Titus.
Violet says “Talk to me, in the air” to Titus. This is shown through Titus and Violet’s relationship because Violet likes more true feelings, while Titus is more appearance related and described as “pretty dead”. This decreases their time of communication, but does not allow them to build stronger relationships. People are able to talk through their Feeds and chose who can be let into their conversations. The main source of communication in this society is through their feeds. Titus then goes on to tell her instead of being depressed reading about it to go out and do something about it. Violet is living and learning a different way, she is referred to as smart because she reads about events that are happening and how people are destroying the earth. On page 109 Titus says “Back then, it was meg null, because they didn’t learn anything useful.” When Titus says this it shows that they aren’t learning about history, science and math anymore, they are learning how to live their lives through their feeds. The children learn how to be a good consumer, how to get a job, how to use the feed, and how to get good bargains. The education that the children receive in this future society is formed on their feeds.
