the television, the internet and video games are something we are all familiar with. today more complex than ever. these digital devices are always becoming more and more advanced. in fact it is shown that we devices allow people to become smarter.
Video games challenges a persons thinking. it requires the person to think ahead. in addiction to thinking about cause and effects, and decipher the best way to reach the goal. One thing leads to another. Johnson says that video games are a way to think using strategy and logic, in games like grand left auto. some Video Games based off of real life situations teach the basics of how aspects of the world function. in the games of Sims, characters get jobs, to pay bills, and go through struggles like a real person. video games teach skills that come in good use when dealing with the real world.
Television has come a long way. people use it as a way to let their mind wander. TV has come from mindless images and predictable plot to being more complex and intelligent. todays shows requires viewers to fill in the blanks or put the pieces together of the plot. to watch a series of events and come to their own conclusion. people do this by looking past the obvious points and look into the deeper meaning of things.
\this text was interesting. i agree with most of what was said in "everything bad is good for you."
along with some negative effects there are many positive effects of these digital devices. i think there is a balance. the way we are using these digital devices are function. i feel better about the amount of time i use each one of these. i know it has good and bad things to it like everything else. i think people using these devices are given another point of view on things. it allows them to develop new thoughts and ideas because they have to think.
this article makes points that relate to "Feed" but not directly. Johnson talked about here how technology
makes people smarter. in "feed" the people have feed which expand their knowledge so they are smarter.
the whole idea of "feed" is the negative effects of the media on teens. in "feed" they lose a sense of who
they are and their indiviuality because they know all the same things. these two idea-would clash with eachother i think, because the people in "Feed" would not be effected the same way. They dont
have a way to think their own way.
