Evolution of Technology (Louis Barry)

Digitalization has made everything very linear. But has it made it to linear? How HTML was made to help make websites, in a simplified way. but then Youtube rolled around, it made the linearity more open. For example, in the video "An anthropological introduction to Youtube" the video of the man dancing to Numa Numa, little does he knows that he was making connections with a "billion boxes" or people around the world. The pace of technological change in the time has had a sad remnant of what we will see throughout the following 15 to 20 years. This next influx of progress will in a general sense reshape the majority of our professions. Artificial intelligence, 3D printing, asset proficient economical production and mechanical autonomy will factor into the ways we at present make, oversee and patch items and convey administrations. The last two can possibly make occupations in the structural and designing parts, following appeal for cutting-edge computerized creation frameworks. As Erik Davis puts it "this industrial image of technology the 'myth of the machine'"(Davis 3). These troublesome plans of action will fundamentally reshape how we work together, both independently and as organizations. Fundamentally, these extremely innovations may enable us to open the answers for a portion of the greatest societal difficulties we at present ponder. What will be completely conclusive is the manner by which we prepare our kids, our understudies and our partners to saddle the energy of this innovation to change our reality to improve things. It implies providing incentives for lifelong learning as the pace of technological progression advances.In Erik Davis book, TechGnosis, he hints that "it's easy to lose one's way in the maze of ... the information age"(Davis 8). I agree with this statement because in our era we are so immersed in technology, that we feeling part of the binary that makes it up.  Finally, we should utilize each apparatus inside our arsenal to guarantee the present and future ages are not deserted in the worldwide computerized aptitudes race.

    My name is Matt Stallone. I am a senior majoring in Media Studies with minors in Italian and Economics. I am from San Francisco and grew up there but then coming to Colorado for University. I have always considered myself a gamer from a young age. More recently I have started listening to more and more podcasts. Visuals have begun to peak my interest lately and am eager to learn more about them specifically creating visual effects. Looking forward to this quarter.

    Davis in each of his videos talks about technological innovation in regards to linearity. Taking HTML script and changing it to exceed its original form of text.The main example being the Numa Numa viral sensation bringing millions of people together across the globe. Davis also talks about how the interconnectedness can hurt, hitting close to home he talks about how college students don't pay attention in class because of the distraction now required in most class which are computers. Although, with the increasing using of new media I believe there has become more importance on your presence online whether it be appearance or just time spent online absorbing information (loose definition). I think this technology will ultimately control our lives either taking the red pill or the blue pill and seeing how far the rabbit hole really goes.

Yamamoto - Story 2 (Lauren)

a) In my own experience with the use of virtual spaces, I find it difficult to develop complex interpersonal relationships. It is possible to begin relationships through the use of virtual spaces, however I do not think it is possible to maintain any type of relationship unless the relationship is sought beyond the virtual space and into a real and intimate space. This is true especially if the relationship happens between a fully real entity. I have not experienced a relationship which occurs between a fully virtual entity, however I would suppose that intimate attention would not be necessary.  b) - Mass production of clothes (p. 63) — everyone wearing the same stuff; v-wear vs r-wear; v -wear offering infinite selection and colors and a lot cheaper https://www.forbes.com/2008/05/25/style-clothes-foreign-forbeslife-cx_ls_outsourcing08_0529offshore.html#4826f084353e   - Fast food (p.65) — ice cream parlor; touch menu; automatic bill; as soon as window closed,...

Yamamoto - Story 7 (Lauren)

provide an overview of your thoughts, feelings, ideas, responses to the book as a whole Overall, I liked the book. I think the idea of sending a message through storytelling is very interesting. The future is essentially unpredictable, but Yamamoto’s book offers an interesting interpretation with Artificial Intelligence. I really like how optimistic the book is, because most of us tend to be afraid of what might happen with AI, but there are a lot of positive aspects to appreciate about technology (as long as we don’t lose control of it). I also love how Yamamoto demonstrates that fiction can be more powerful than reality.  provide reflections on your experience of this class /course Altogether, this class was extremely fascinating and thought provoking. At first, I thought I was not going to be able to follow along with the material, but interestingly enough I realized that it was very analysis based. Because I am not an expert in technology, it was up to me to...

Yamamoto 1 (Louis Barry)

Erik Davis clarifies that while the fields of the advanced and the profound may look encounters separated, mystery and consecrated driving forces have in actuality ceaselessly filled innovative thoughts. Davis uncovers astonishing associations inside so distinctly unique issues as power and speculative chemistry; web-based pretending recreations and profound and heavenly frameworks; virtual reality and gnostic mythicism; programming dialects. The last sections tended to the whole-world destroying dreams that occupy innovation, executing a vital, authentic setting and better approaches to envision about a destiny characterized by the mutant blending of knowledge and machine, repulsiveness, and escape. In the primary story is about a group who are recreating a sci-fi story over the web. One of the gathering individuals murders somebody, in actuality. The rest of the short story is about how the gathering battles to persuade this man not to confer suicide, but rather to hand himself ove...
