Reflection on "Fischbowl"

In the article "The Fischbowl",there were many things that mattered to Karl Fisch. First he thinks that having political adds in video games is a good idea. He says this is a smart thing to do because there are roughly one third of American households that have either xbox 360 Sony PS3 or Nintendo wii. This relates to me because i also think it is smart to put political adds in video games. This is a good idea because when that many Americans own a game system the poles will go up way faster because more people will see the information and decide who to vote for. Also because a lot of people who see things in video games decide that they are cool and that they want one. This way many people will decide they want to vote and the candidate with the most adds in video games will most likely get more votes. Therefore wining the election. This connects to the world because most people would probably think it was cool that political adds were in there video games and more people would vote.

Reflection on "two Cents Worth"

In the article "2 Cents Worth", there were many things that mattered to the author. First he likes when people make commercials for learning. Also he was impressed with the technique the people used, which was animoto. He said they basically flip and video each other as they talk. He says that doing this is very powerful and easy. The way this relates to me is that I also find this to be a very good strategy. I think it is very useful and smart way to do something. It is smart because they video tape what they say so that if they have a really good thought and cant remember what they said afterward then they can just refer back to the tape. The way this relates to the world is that many people agree on this idea. Many people think that it is smart to record what you are having a conversation about. The reason a lot of people think this is because, they also agree that if you have a good thought and need to refer back to it sometime In the future it is smart to video tape it because then it is there for you to use as you please.

Reflection on "Did You Know?"

In the video "Did You Know?" by Karl Fisch, there were many things that mattered to him. First he believes that one day a "super computer" will be created, meaning that a computer will be created that is smarter than the human brain. Also he believes that technology is moving so quickly that by the time kids learn something it will be out dated. The way this connects to me is that I also think that technology is moving very fast, and improving as time passes. I however, don't believe that one day a computer will be smarter than the human brain. I think that computers will keep advancing but will always have glitches. The way this connects to the world is that some people believe that there will be a super computer, and others don't believe a computer will ever become that smart.

Reflection on "The Machines are using us"

In the Video "The Machines are Using Us", there were many things that mattered to the creator of this video.

Also, he liked the fact that technology keeps advancing so that we have more and more things we can use it for every day. He thought that using the computer to write was better than writing on regular paper. This Connects to me in the way that I also think that using a computer to write is more efficient and fun than writing using pencil and paper. Also, I like the fact that technology keeps advancing and getting better so that we are able to use it for more things as time goes on. The way This connects to the world is that most of the world also likes the fact that the technology we use keeps advancing and improving as time passes. Also most of the world likes that we are able to use this technology to research, write, and do many other things in order to make our lives easier.
