Video project 1

What are some thoughts and feelings you have when watching your own video?

I feel that my mind is focused on what is put infront of me until i'm finally distracted by the surrounding environment.

When you think about living your physical experience being largely what is shown on the video, how does that seem to you?

Would you want your little sister (or future son) to spend a lot of time doing this stuff?

I would let them be on the computer, video games, etc. but in a moderate fashion becuase of how addicting and distracting it is.

What do you think of the contrast between what's happening ON the digital representation device and what you look like interacting with the DRD?
What do you think of ideas like the Wii that are supposed to make this contrast less stark? Its smart but still bullshit. we're still facing digital representation devices but only now, we can exercise with it.

Question: How does digital technology affect daily life?
Digital technology affects daily life becuase then we wouldn't be able to take pictures, watch Tv and surf the web on the computer. "Life would be hard"- Nadia

Digital technology

In this Digital technology age, we become pixels and new people. Facebook, World of Warcraft, twitter, etc. we are given the opportunity to become a new person. But then what does the mean about our real lives? which one would we radther choose? Which one are we most comfortable in? So what I'm asking is, which world do you choose, Planet Earth, or Planet Cyborg?
I think most people would be, "ofcourse Planet Earth" But I think where do you spend most of your time? I sit next to the computer and Tv probably most of my day. Planet Cyborg would be my kind of planet.
I forget her name but in ym class she brought up a interesting question of "How our future would look like since some many of us 'LOVE' texting, we would have big ass thumbs."
I agree, would our next generation become entirely new people becuase of our use of digital technology.
