Welcome MSSM!



As you watch the video above by spoken-word artist Prince Ea ("Can We Autocorrect Humanity?"), comment on anything that seems important to you, familiar, or something you might do yourself. If you can make connections with the images we looked at from Eric Pickersgill, that would be especially great, and I know you will see them!

Remember: there are no right or wrong answers! The idea is to make observations and think about what has meaning to us.

If you're unfamiliar with the concept of "Live Tweeting," it looks something like this:


Here is another great example from our class blog.

    That seems like a lot of time to be engulfed by a phone... that's one fourth of my life.

    I do like his rhythm and free style. I feel like society auto correct's itself.

      What do you mean "society autocorrects itself"? I personally think he wants society to recognize it's downfalls, which I believe we will in time as a semi "adaptation" if you will.

    I always forget how much digital conduct "codes" dictate our lives. #TBT shouldn't restrict us.

    Excellent and timely video - observation so important in science, but what are we observing outside of the tiny screen?

    Yeah... I found it a bit stressful responding because I just wanted to listen

    I had to prove I'm not a robot to write on an electronic forum. Irony- it always finds a way...

    Expression of self has changed. Now we express ourselves too frequently and unnecessarily, and feel the need to share and tweet out our every thought and inner machination. But yet, in the face of all this sharing of thoughts, we are socially mute. So many people around us, so many opportunities to socialize. But we ignore them to update our profiles; simple, shallow, and basic representations of ourselves that we can mold to our will and use to mitigate our weakness and flaws.
