Comment on Elvis Video Project HW #8

Elvis,

I liked how on your video you didnt focuse on just one part of your digital life. your on your phone texting, on your ipod and on your computer. I also liked tha fact that you seem very interested into what your doing. While listening to your ipod your bopping your head and singing along. You seem to be so into that, but then your attention gets diverted into whatever was on your computer screen, i can see the change in your face, as though you got out of that zone and oulled into another one.

I can see your point in the idea of you thinking " why have it" when speaking of all the technology. I think once we see ourselves in such a hypnoticed state we start having thoughts about what this is doing to us. I also see your point in not wanting to be into the whole digital phase sometimes, but whe are so used to it that we cant let it go. We need these things and without them i personally would get bored very easily. 

i can see that in our videos we are doing the same things, minus the computer. I connect with you saying that your sister is hooked into the digital world already. I dont know how old your sister is, but mine is 12 and shes already on aim and she even had a myspace. I remeber being 12 and still playing with dolls and the only technology i was hooked on was the t.v.Its crazy to walk by schools now and see such a difference from when we were there.

Umm when it comes to your video i think you did a pretty good job at showing us some of your digital life.Maybe you can elaborate on your feelings toward seeing yourself and how they differ or relate to actually being there,

Your video made me realize how quickly our interest can just jump from one digital device to another, but it seems so difficult to do in other occasions. Overall i enjoyed watching it. It was good.
