HomeWork 15: Comment 10-14

Carrie:
Your informal research was very informant and allows me to think more about how outside viewers on this topic think. You show many good points in your thoughts and some good points in your summary's that normal people won't see. you said that there was a "show" to catch these "old creeps". This means that the "old creeps" can watch the show and improve on how they hide themselves. There is a good and a bad to everything and nothing is totally pure. i love how you keep talking about how these men or women spend a lot of time to seduce these "kids" and to make twist the minds of children to their will. all these different things these "old creeps" used to lure "kids". It shows how the internet is like a "second identity" for the "old creeps". maybe if you think about it they want to want the lives they never had. who knows since no one has gotten their opinion.

In your experiment it is really funny how you are showing the common reason for commercials, its for people to take a break from watching and to come back to real world and do some things. This is a really good experiment that people should try and see what they think, but i wish the experiment was longer than you would see yourself change your habits over time as you multitask.

When you look at feed it is funny how you view it as "America" and not the whole world, since now that i realize it that the world itself is corrupted and that nothing can stand in its way from falling into a shallow grave like feed. You have a lot of really strong points on what you think about the book and as you said "Feed expresses, what you're told may not always be the truth. Corrupted acts are constant patterns that come up in those with power whether it be the government or top notched corporations. M.T. Anderson is trying to tell us is to be more aware of our surroundings. Don't settle for the government to do all the work for you, be a part of the power and take matters into your own hands." that is shown clearly with he world today, how the people rely on Obama to get things done but he is just one man and one man can't do a lot with over 300million mind controlled slaves puppet ed by this digital world.

When you think about it Feed is a piece of art but, on the other hand your line of "I think Art is both a mirror and a hammer. It reflects a situation using a different angle of perspective to get a point across. Good art is something that will jolt its audience out of their current mind frames and force them to think and perceive the world in a different direction." is proving Feed wrong since it doesn't show other ways and reflect on this one solid point of view, and he is offering no solution by making himself the bad guy. it can't be a mirror or a hammer since the opposite side is never found and the nail to strike on is not there.

I really like reading all your post and think about them for what to say, i would like to read more of your work. ^^

Jenise:

When reading your informal research i see you spent some time trying to analysis about your passion and not the typical stuff. You love your music a lot and you pretty much broke down it with this research and figured out whats in a big part of your life, and how others put it together.

I think that by doing your experiment you really detached yourself from the world like you said, you got to relax and detach yourself from human drama. How you really think of this different experience of your life and look back to the other times you felt this way. But i wonder how else would you relax since there is so much digital stuff around you that we as humans just can't keep away.

I agree with you that in the book it shows how he thinks we forgot how to live as humans and that it would be confusing with out more views than one, but is it true that people would want a feed, since this world is twisted as it is with all these mixed emotions of this world.

I hope to read or hear more about your thoughts since they would be a good collection to compare to of this digital world.
