video thoughts:HW 8

i liked how u were mostly nature in your video. the idea of giving so attention to technology and moving into our own little world was interesting.

There are so many distractions. we put a lot of our attention into using technology. when we allow our mind to drift in another place it is a way to stop worrying.

sometimes when listening to someone talk like my mother, i interrupt to send a text. then i cant for the life of me process what that person just said. its not good.

after watching your video and reading your post i noticed in my video i do similar things. all my attention goes to technology i focus on that and nothing but that. slowly i a dragged in until i am completely unaware of the outside world.

NICE ideas and point of view. you probably have some more ideas. next time share them. write in a detailed way people can understand.

good work. way to get it done. (i wrote another post but it was deleted, so if this one is not as good.)

sadly my partner had trouble doing his video. So I picked yours to comment on :) < This is how express emotion over the computer. anyway, i enjoyed your video and what you had to say.

It is good to have a balance with the use of technology. You and your brother are good examples of that. Technology does not represent a realistic version of reality. Playing games like the Wii are just electronics that distract your from the real deal of playing games.

The Wii is the closest people have become to combining physical activity and video games. but there is nothing really good about it. instead of going outside to lets say play soccer, you stand in front of a screen and flicking your wrist to simulate soccer. Which is nothing like the real thing. On top of that your look like an idiot swinging your arms around everywhere. ON TOP OF THAT there is no interaction between people. You don't get the same skills you would compared to going outside and actually getting active.

For your next response try to bring it back to the connection of people overall. " I've had a lot of physical exercise today" Although it is probably not the same for other people.

Your post makes me think about the balance in my life? What is a good balance?

Even though i am not in your triangle or whatever. I will continue to read your blog. You did a great job :)
