Part A :
Question- Is your primary motivation in participating in school to socialize or to learn ? ; How do our motivations to learn and socialize affect each other during our school experience ?
Maxi: Well i do go to school to learn because that's what i have to do so i can get a good job in my future but i don't think i would be able to survive school without friends. (what do you think benefits you more in the future, friends or physics ? ) My friends probably because i don't think Im ever going to use anything in physics because i probably wont even remember what i learn but my friends would be there for me whenever i need help .
Elias: To socialize , duhh . ( can you expand on that please ? ) Nah i cant . haha nah but i think everybody is like that .
Raylette: To learn , i don't really enjoy the people in my school . all they do is talk shit about each other behind each others backs. ( but don't you like the drama , i mean if there wasn't any , would school be interesting ? ) Probably not . Like i don't like the drama but its always there , i guess you can saying makes school interesting. like yeah im thinking now , if there wasn't drama i would feel like a robot going to school taking notes and coming back home.

HW 38 - Art Project Cool
Untitled from Stephanie Adames on Vimeo.
1. What insights about cool does the art integrate? What do you hope people will realize or question from their encounter with your art?
The aspect of cool that we were trying to show in this video is how the guy thinks he is cool by being a jerk.
2. Describe the process of making the project - how'd you do each step? If it was a group project, what did you contribute?
Each step of the way we came up with random ideas and just played them out. The main part of the video was to show that him being a jerk didn't allow people to take him serious because they thought he was just trying to be cool so when it came to the meeting about raising money for Haiti, no one wanted to listen to him but he actual came up with a good idea . This shows that he was putting an act of being a jerk to be like his shield in high school so people can think he is cool .
3. Does making art seem cool to you? Why or why not?
Making art does seem cool to me because it is a way to be creative in a unique way. Although there really isn't a way to be unique because we are all puppets of media , when we create art an inner part of us is revealed that others may not understand. When people create art it is almost like the only thing in the world that actually belongs to them .

HW 17 - Outline suggestions
Chris:
Its good that you have the evidence you are going to use already planned out. It shows that you know what you want to focus on. i suggest that you do the first thesis because your arguments support that one the most. As for your intro i think you should introduce the advancement timeline of technology so the reader can get an understanding of why your topic is important .
also i think your paper would be stronger if you use more evidence that tie into your arguments, like other peoples blogs or movies you've seen( i know you always hit up that HBO channel) .
Anais:
i feel like this outline is too broad so i cant really get a strong feel of your topic and what you want to write about.
on the bright side i like that you have a good strong thesis now the rest of your worries should be trying to find enough evidence to back it up.
goodluckk.

HW 15 - abcdef 3
Chris :
I liked how you broke down every aspect of what kind of art feed can be considered. You described what every category meant to you and how you can consider feed to be that type of art. It really shows the way you think and analyze before making a decision.
When talking about the text you mentioned that you never thought about video games in relation to stories but how the text uses the evidence of the read ons and the plot in video games that make them the same as stories. I have never seen video games in this way but when i read the text it sort of clicked to me how they can be related. I don't know if i fully agree it is the best solution for reading books but i can see how you can make an argument that it is.
I feel like you should further expand your reaction and ideas about feed because you read the whole book. I personally feel that your blogs lacked deepen thoughts about the book due to the fact that you actually were one of the few people who finished the book.
It would be nice to talk to you more about the allegory of feed and try to answer one of my personal question which is, "what is the solution to this technologic disruption?"
Anias:
I like how you pointed out a difference between modern day teenagers (us) and the teenagers in the book feed. We have been focusing how they are alike but not have based a discussion on how they are different. You said that even though we are addicted, the teens in the book aren't aware of the addiction but we are. To me that's a huge difference especially when it comes to the question of whether or not we can break the addiction. Its like when someone is a drug addict, the first step into solving the problem is realizing that they have one.
Your mentioned in your blog post Feed A that another difference between feed and modern day teens is that the feed is one device that they are hooked to and we are hooked to many different devices. Well i think that the feed represents all the devices it is just all in one and connected to your brain. It is all the same thing. We use aim to chat online, facebook to network and twitter to find new gossip, the teenagers in feed do all of that through the feed. If anything the feed makes it 10x easier to stay connected to the media. Which now leads me to think that if we were presented with a feed we would probably use it. I say this because there is this new application available for itouch and iphone that basically connects facebook, myspace and twiiter all in one app. it collects all the new updates into one stream so you can be up to date with everything. Now tell me whats the difference?
i also like hat you bring up how feed opens our eyes to patterns we never noticed before. I personally in reading feed was able to connect it to habits in my everyday life that i never saw as bad habits because i was so use to doing them. once again i find myself trapped in a circle because i want to know how do we break these habit and restore our lives if media basically controls everything. I think if this is a big problem we really see then we need to start taking step forwards to solving the problem. Like you said we are continuing to be "zombies"

Hw14 - Second text
Video games are the same as books? I have never consider them in this way. I must admit though, the author of Everything Bad is Good for You has a point. Video games are stories with introductions, plot, solutions, and conclusions. If anything video games are almost like re-in-acting the story in your own way.
