Assigned Entry #3




My first reaction to this video was can't people walk?  Seeing everyone sitting in their chairs having people getting them drinks, or being able to do so many different things all in the seat of their chair.  My other reaction was why is everyone overweight.  Even babies are left alone having a computer teach them their abc's.  This video kind of represents how our society is now.  Everything is done electronically.  Instead of people going outside and doing things outdoors, people are so busy with their phones or video games. One scene from the clip that stood out to me was the clip with the man that falls out of his chair.  It's sad to see that the man couldn't even help himself to get out of the chair. It seems a little extreme but its an extreme representation of how our society is today.
                       
Another scene that stood out to me was where someone was dialing with their feet.  Its scary to see that someday our society might be like.  Where people don't communicate, and everything is done electronically.
