* What are some thoughts and feelings you have when watching your own video? -I think when i watch my own video i don't feel any different since i am still doing the same reactions and its like when i stare at noting. These thoughts dot change even though i think they changed. I can compare myself to what i am doing, s a start to know my human grasp on the digital world. But nothing else.
* When you think about living your physical experience being largely what is shown on the video, how does that seem to you? -my living is largely shown and it is the same as me looking int to a mirror for the same time. i will study hard at it at first then get a little bored along the way and fall asleep, nothing has changed and my views don't change.
* Would you want your little sister (or future son) to spend a lot of time doing this stuff? -i don't really care in my opinion since, it's their choice and their life, if they want to get sucked in it's fine, not my decision or my opinion to make.
* 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? -I think that the digital device is sort of fake since it cannot relay the exactly the same sound and pictures like the human eye and ears, they just convert it to make it sound the same. many things work differently and digital devices nor human or animal body parts are no different.
* What do you think of ideas like the Wii that are supposed to make this contrast less stark? -i think it's fine, they are all ways to make kids or people do different stuff, since if something different and new comes out, people would want it since its not doing the same thing over and over again, the people will get bored, so its a partial lie that they want to change how people live if they are still making the same types of games or digital devices that just work about the same way.
Okay first off, your video already shows how tech-savvy you are. The whole box thing was creative 'cause it shows both your face and what you're focusing on. I noticed how you were Googling a lot and how you were reading articles about Barrack Obama and alternating that with Manga. It shows how you could be doing stuff you're into like Manga, and still be educating yourself at the same time. I guess that's why we love the internet so much, because it allows us to multi task and get more done at one time. Also I noticed how fast you were skipping site to site. Is it because you have a short attention span and that you need something really interesting to keep your attention or am I just overthinking it?
I liked your comment on how "when i watch my own video i don't feel any different since i am still doing the same reactions and its like when i stare at noting. These thoughts dot change even though i think they changed. I can compare myself to what i am doing, s a start to know my human grasp on the digital world. But nothing else." I never realized that and now that you say it, it's true. I mean, I bet I'm doing it now as I'm typing this. I bet I look the same as I do in my video. My thoughts might be different, but I look the same and I'm acting the same way I do every time I interact with my computer. It's crazy how much time this repititiveness takes up. Is it a waste of time? I think we still get something out of it even if we look like we're doing the same thing over and over again. I think we are mentally developing. You can't see it, but our minds are working and learning as we stare blankly into our computer screens.
I think you should really think about your answer to "Would you want your little sister (or future son) to spend a lot of time doing this stuff?" I don't really believe the indifference that you showed in your answer. You say "i don't really care in my opinion since, it's their choice and their life, if they want to get sucked in it's fine, not my decision or my opinion to make." If it was your child, I'm sure you would be more caring than that. As a parent or an older sib, I feel like it would be partially your responsibility to guide them in the right direction.
Your last answer made me think though. I agree that a lot of the video games and/or digital entertainment are all just variations of one another. The little differences that new games have to offer intrigues people only because they're fresh. After a while like you said, people do get bored and look for newer things to keep them entertained. It's like a constant cycle of needing and satisfying between consumers and sellers. It's a lie like you mentioned and I feel like we need to break the mold and find something more meaningful to entertain us.
I liked your post a lot. Your unconventional answers made me think. Can't wait to read more of your stuff. Peace.
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.
