Keeping It On the DL

Hey! Made a video for class, hope you guys enjoy!

This is my first video using the Kens Burn effect, tell me how I did!

Today we watched a short video in class that pertained to humans being able to live forever. To obtain this luxury, you would have to get your brain cells scanned into a computer system then live through something similar to a television monitor.To live forever sounds like something you just can't pass up but when actually given the opportunity,would it be as enjoyable as one would think? Humans aren't immortal for a reason and when scientist begin to "play God" terrible consequences seem to follow suit. Things like over population and sacredness of natural and unnatural resources will occur, which then becomes extremely unfair to those living a natural life. Then what happens if there is a glitch in the system controlling the lives of millions of people (which occurs in the video), do they all just die? And these are just two of many factors that can occur. So in my opinion, I say living forever won't be be a luxury but instead a curse and that one should live th...

We were appointed two articles to read in class. The first one was a written interviewed that featured Richard A.Lanham, he spoke about the mass amount of information available to us and how we don't know how to handle it.

So on the interview Lanham speaks about how to take in all the information and also how to get as much out of it as possible but though he gives tips; he does mention trying to contain all the information given to us is nearly impossible. Especially with the massive amount already there with tons more coming in rapidly. The second article kind of touched based on similar issues; was spoke more on how students are limiting themselves on the amount of information we are possible of obtaining. Dr.Nichols also mentions how students aren't the only one to blame for that. Teacher tend to restrict the source students are allowed to use which someti...

Black Mirror is a Netflix original series  that shows the worse possible outcomes of the use our obsessive use of technology. We watched one particular episode called "Nosedive" that was about a world that based ones value off of their ranking. Ranked 1-5, people were forced to create a false persona of themselves in order to receive 5 stars during any human interaction. The main character of this episode became so obsessed with having a high ranking that it caused her ultimate downfall but also opened her eyes to a whole new life of honestly and happiness. This episode, though over exaggerated, showed how much people base their worth on social media popularity and what others think of them and those who didn't care and had "low rankings" were the happiest.
