This was a really cool video. Made mine look like shit. Unique is the perfect word for this video. I like the different camera angles you used and how you should a bunch of different electronics that you used. So yeah pretty cool video.

I like how in your video you showed all the electronics you use and the in your summary/analysis you talk about how you think this is negatively affecting you. I like how you talk about how this whole digitalization has affected to you personally and give specific details.

I think your completely right when you say that new technology has prevented us from using our bodies to the full extent. Looking back this is very significant in my life. There has been thousands of situations where i decided to do something digital or electronic instead of physical.

I noticed that you said you let this digital way of life take over your life because it was a social norm. Do you blame society for the abuse of electronics or do you blame the individual for letting it consume their lives?

Anyways. This was a great video. Look forward to future posts.

Esther,

Pretty good video. You basically summed up our digital lives. That's pretty sad. I like how you show a bunch of different digital devices and cut from one too another.

You point out how dumb we look when we are on the computer, watching t.v or whatever else it may be. So true, once we take a chance to look at our selves we really see what we are wasting our time doing.

I noticed that all though your showing more stuff in your video our video are essentially the same, someone in front of a screen completely focused on the screen and not noticing anything else.

I think you can take you analysis to another level by talking about even though we realize that we look so dumb and that what we are doing is kind of pointless, do you think it will really make any difference in us and stop us from continuing to do it?

So yeah, cool video. I look forward to more posts and stuff...
