technology? blog 2
It's interesting to me to think about the past. I wonder if people were all stoked about the wheel being invented. However, today, i feel like people tend to take technology for granted.
Maybe its because they dont understand it, maybe they dont want to, i really dont know.
But i think about life just like 4-5 years ago and color cell phones were new and it was amazing. Now you look poor if you dont have a camera phone with music on it.
What is technology going to do to people in the long run? Will it make us stronger, or destroy us?
There are so many positive aspects to technology, but most of them are in regards to communication in some way or another. So here's my thought, is technology really helping us? Are people just getting more distant, making relationships on inadequate pretenses.
Is it too much to wonder if technology has something to do with the divorce rate increasing? Everyone has gotten in a "text fight" with someone because they misunderstand what the person is saying. It may seem small, but things like that pile up and seem and feel real.
What would our lives be like if we didnt have phones or internet for a week? How would the relationships we do have change?
Just thinking about how technology is blurring our perception of reality, and its a really sensitive situation, but i dont think people take it seriously at all.
........
10 years ago, no one took global warming seriously.
well to relate this to class, how will this effect the education system? Technology DOES give us a unified view of information. But i think you learn more in a classroom than you ever will online. There are things technology cant teach us, like how to interact with people. So what would english be like without technology? Perhaps our grammar would be better. Maybe it would alter our way of expressing ourselves. Who knows.

the third time i tried the blog. maybe it will work (shitty first drafts)
im really mad right now. my elegant blog was just deleted. I'm going on a tangent just like Anne, except the talking mice are defective internet connections. I just gotta bottle them up, write about it, and come up with some ludacris idea to pull it all together.
sounds like art to me. Well earlier i came to a conclusion about what makes literary genius
Some stuff just comes out, other stuff is just carefully edited and calculated into a structure.
I said i doubt a genius could really define what it means to be genius.
Who knows.
Anyways, I was busy critiquing her idea about shitty first drafts. It's like obviously a draft isn't going to be very good. What does a draft do, it BLOWS. Yay puns. But seriously, i feel like the ideas were pretty simple and elementary. But hey, one mans trash is another mans treasure.
My favorite part of this whole blogging adventure had to be the twenty minutes i spent trying to get the page to load, because the stuff on the page was not very interesting to me.
Maybe im just mad, maybe i'm venting. Ok yeah im mad. It's probably dulling down my writing ability. I'm not inferring much or thinking about the text, but whatever. Its expression.
But back to the subject. How did she have a eureka from someone saying "its a piece of chicken." That makes no sense to me because its just really obvious. Something obvious to one person isn't so obvious to another though.
We all view the world differently. Thats why its such a great place. That's why i feel that the art of literature is lost when people edit and re-edit everything, it takes away from the soul of the piece.
So like how is a shitty draft even in existance. Some of the best things just come right off the top of your head. They are profound, simple and elegant, and tailored just to you. Just likek the chicken quote, it made sense to her and she realized it. Its beautiful in a way. But it all depends on the perspective, the looking glass, that you're reading the words through.
Oh the bliss of persception

lyrics from my songgg :D (Hand in Hand)
I'm standing in my room
what's become of me
i shouldnt fight with you
but i still believe!!!
you dont have to be alone for too long
cuz im right next to yoooou
through the right
and the wrong...
one and one is two!!!!
true love will find a way!
turn darkest night to daaayy
and together we will stand
hand in hand
you tell me we could never be
but you've only seen one side of me
so open up those perfect eyes and see
the tears i've cried
as i picture this
its us together
we cant let go
we can last
forever.
true love will find a way
turn darkest night to daaay
and together we will stand
hand in hand
