Media Mediations #4



I really liked the one we watched in class that was about Social Media and how it is changing our culture. It also reminded me of this video that i had seen a while back that was done in a very similar manner. I just hope that this one wasn't done in the first class i had with Dr. W. This media clip is about how our world is changing faster than it has ever been before. It as definitely interesting video, especially how that India has more honor roll students than America has Students.
To better understand this text i used the tools that i learned in class. The first one i looked at was the Brain. This clip is pretty heavy Neocortex. It is all text that pops up very quickly and you have to read it with in 5 seconds or less. The text also builds on one anther so you have to read it very fast. This also has to do with pacing, since they do only give you that short amount of time ti read it. The Production of this video was very similar to the Social Media . They even used the same song in this clip. You can notice that they are having someone who is up to date with the information and the platform which they made this because it is very fitting to what is being produced and people my age will enjoy it.
The thing i think video has a big part is the Shifts. The first and i think most important is the Epistemological shift. It is talking about how radio started off slow and then every new thing has been excepted almost twice as fast as the thing before it. To me this shows that people are becoming more excepting to new things and will ultimately change how/how fast we learn things. Another shift that is important to touch on is the Technological Shift. Since this a is a media class, we need to be aware of what is coming next and is said how fast things have changed. In the clip they talk about how in 30 years or so there will be a computer that is smarter than the whole human race. Definitely something we should keep and eye out for.
