HW#8 Response To Matthew's and Michele's Video Projects

To Matthew:
I overall liked your response to the questions. I agree with you about how technology is taking over a lot of our daily lives. I liked when you specifically said how the music you listen to matches up with your emotions. This just proves how technology is able to find it's place in our lives.

I personally feel that digital technology IS a huge part of our lives and is still increasing. It's only a matter of time before EVERYTHING is digital. Once again, i enjoyed your comments and feel that they would make a bigger impact of the classes thoughts if you expanded a little.

Overall Great Job.


To Michele:
I totally agree with you. When making this video, i also saw myself being somewhat lost in another world, a digital world. I think this video shows a lot about what we are trying to uncover during this unit.

I think it's better to film the video the way that you did, which was have someone tape you while you engage in digital activities, as it lets people. including yourself think about how digital technology takes up a majority of our lives.

Overall great job

HW # 6 video Response

Watching this video has made me realize even more that digital technology is taking over our lives. Looking at mine, as well as other videos, I could see that we were so into this, whole new world of digital technology. Watching these vidos also made me notice that we are somewhat hypnotized once the TV, Computer, Video Game, ETC. is turned on.
This "Take Over" of technology is not getting any slower. With video games such as WII coming out with virtual exercise, it's only a matter of time before our whole world is inhabited by digital technology; with that part of our day in which we are digital becomes our entire lives.

My sister said: I can't imagine what life would be like without my phone, ipod or TV. That's scary to think about".

My mom said: It's hard to imagine a world like that. We would all be like the amish".

HW 4: Comment on Victor Santos' Blog

I believe you bring up some good, true ideas within your blog. i do believe that digital technology in general WILL take over in the future. People think that time has come already, but it has not. Today's use of digital takes up a big chunk of daily life, but just a big chunk and not life entirely.

I think you do have some valid, interesting points, what you should do is expand on those ideas so that people reading your post can have a better impact not only on yourself, but to other readers of your post so that they can expand THEIR thoughts too.

Overall good job.

HW 3

The way digital use takes up so much of my time is really amazing. I played video games for the first time in years over the weekend, just because I wanted to. Every time I looked at the time, it felt like hours were being skipped by 2 or 3. However, the way we feel is caused by the fact that although being digital is a big part of today's society, it isn't entirely. However, by the way it looks now, it seems only natural that digital life would be the only kind of life that takes place in society in the future. The only thing we could do is go on with life as it is and how it is growing. If one really has a problem with the thought of digital technology ruling his/her life, take action. Don't include technology that isn't necessary in your life. For me personally, all I really need is a phone and maybe a little internet, nothing else. Video games and other special gadgets for me are overdoing it. Overall, for me, I'll just live MY life, My way to the best of my ability.
