FEED A

Feed at first to me was very confusing and weird and stupid. I had no clue it was going to be such a good book at the end. My fist reaction to the book i guess is how some older generations look at us teens when we use technology. I feel as if the point of the story is to show us how technology will become our life, control us to the point where we lose the essence of being a Human.

For our generation some mostly want something digital and we always use it. In the book, here we have a teen who is dying because of it. We won't literally day they way she did but im guessing the author wants to emphasize how DRD can make out generation much worst. It makes me think about those who say they can't live with out. That right there shows how they are forgetting how to live. I just would love to do s study to see how long my generation can survive with out using them, or just using them less.

In the book the feed was there 24/7. At first when Andy asked us if we wanted one i said yeah but now, i really don't. It's not worth it. That's the problem with many now. We want things right then and now with out being patient. We want to know where the book is quicker then looking and browsing books. Feed is for this impatient.

EXPERIMENTING WITH DRD

Well on Tuesday i haven't texted all day like i usually would do. It felt good because i was able to relax more with no drama and i was very much focused with my school work and stuff that are more important. I think i can get use to not using my phone 24/7. There was a time last month when me and my bestie went to Barnes and Nobles and started looking at colleges and scholarships. It was such a different experience from browsing on the computer. I think i would rather go and search through books then online because it feels more natural and the information i know im reading, i feel, is more accurate because when you browse through sites you read similar info at times. This experiment made me realize, if i don't NEED to talk or text anyone, my free time should be spent more wisely.

INFORMAL RESEARCH

"Digital Recording methods have lowered peoples expectations of themselves in the studio"
Basically After looking at the video the main idea he stresses is the difference between the recording sessions. Benefits from digital recording is the artist can take many takes and then shift different parts together that sounds more better vs Analog, it takes longer but it gives the artist, musician to be more ready and perfectionist so they can get it right. I think that's the way artist's should be.

Carrie,

You seemed so engaged in your video. THe digital world had you captured up. Haha. i find it not suprising at all that you forgot it was recorded. It's like for one minutes your like ok your recording and you just want this homework to endbut then you get an IM or you start reading something that destracts you so quickly. should we be scared of that? should we worry about that?

I guess we can say that DRD disforms our body too. We forget all about it and we start doing weird positions that we would never do if we weren't emerged.

What i really thought was interesting and something i totally agree with is when you said: "I wouldn't mind if my child spent a lot of time doing this. I can understand why people are so hooked on it. But if it's up to the point where he stops having a social life or it takes away from the things he need to do such as schoolwork, housework, or spending time with the family then I would say the time spent with his digital devices needs to be cut shorter." THat is the same way i feel. I would let them use it to an exstent. If it starts to isolate them from the real world, it really is a problem. How can we really draw the line? how do we know the signs?

I really enjoyed reading your thoughts on your video and looking at your video. I hope we can do more projects like this.

Hey Vincent,

I love how you recorded yourself on the computer. WIth you in the corner browsing the sites. That was something unique. I liked how you browsed through different cites also, it shows how much you use the computer, not being obsessed with one site.

I do agree with Carrie about the answer to the question about your little sister od future daughter using it. You should at least think about that because your say has alot to do with them using it more or less. FOr example if you have that kind of attitutde towards it, it might just cause a hug issue as thier life goes on.

So i do agree that when you watch yourself on thescreen comparing to you using it, is a big difference. WHen looking it does make it seem fake but it's a total difference when experiencing it.

WHat do you think you would have been doing if you wasnt on the computer for them couple of minutes? Do you think that if they made technology more educational or uisng more physical activities, would people still be emerged the way they are now?

I really like the way you did your video. I think your the only one to do it in this way.
