Enjoyed how you were like we seem to be hypnotized once we use TV, internet, video game, etc because we do. We are so into what we're doing that we forget what is happening around us. it funny how you say digital media can soon become our entire lives because that was what i got out of Matt's blog post too. It also reminded of the new movie with Bruce Willis called SURROGATES where in the future you get to lie around in your pajamas all day, while your perfect surrogate self, a cyborg that will do everything for you. You strap on the headset and make your cyborg go to work, scrub the toilet, take out the trash, etc. It kinda shows how possibly digital media can take over our lives but seems very extreme though. Wondered how you filmed yourself or did someone do it for you?? Maybe you should expand on how maybe how digital media is good or answer some of the questions a bit more??
Good blog post and video!!

I like how you were like you were there but were really not, I feel the same. Because its like for a while we " escape reality" and it can be pretty fun. When you state that you probably want your sibling or future son to be more active, i noticed so many people say the same. I did but doesn't it make us seem a bit hypocritical because one spends so much time on digital media????
I agree that things like the Wii just brings more people to these things to the point that one day we just won't go outside to play like for ex. tennis. Because why should we? we can just do it on the Wii. And it can makes us forget other important things like being active. These are all really great points but if you would expand a bit more for example how is there a connection between your emotions and the songs or why do you personally find digital media fun???
Enjoyed your blog post, hope to hear more of your thoughts!!!

ReplyDeleteYour comments really make alot of sense to me when it comes to the unit we're doing in andy's class. i liked how you used that Bruce Wilis movie as an example of t=what digital technology could be like in the future. Could today's population already have a clear picture about how the world will be like in the generations to come? Movies like SURROGATES helps people open their minds, whether they want to or not, and think just what the world will be like later on in their lifetimes, or even after their lifetimes have ended. It's crazy that I'm saying this, but it has become a part of life nowadays. Thanks for the comments, as you can see it has helped me really expand my thinking about the topic of digital media.
