Video Clip on Advertisement

This short film makes a claim on technolgy today. Peoples uses for it and how it has negatively impacted their lives as they know it through personal accounts written on paper and flashed for viewers to read. Facts about uses in class and the distractions there, the amount of money computers cost, and how technology is supposed to be saving the human race whether its actually working or not. The beat set to the film is upbeat and dramatic as it gets your brain juices flowing in both rythme and thought. Barely enough time to read the short, handwritten phrases none the less absorb them. The variety in angles on the rise of technology seem to be aimed for a braud spectrum of people so your left thinking about the ones that touch your life personally. The Point of this clip however is to dispell that technology was supposed to make school easier but in fact gives students more of an opportunity to slack off.

Technology will not save mankind and it is funny that people actully think that, expecialy if we just get lazier and forget to do anything on our own. Man kind is most likly going to end up as a dumb animal who goes extinct because they forgot all ability to care for themselves when they really needed to know how to take care of themselves.

I like the film technique used in terms of the handwritten phrases. Perhaps the filmmakers wanted the viewer to see the constant of information, the quickness that things come at us with technology. Do you think that the filmmakers really wanted to send a message that students were slacking off? I got a sense that they wanted us to see that students don't necessarily learn in ways that we might have expected them to based on old educational systems.
