Quotess Weekk 9-12

Week 9

Quote: “It is kind of big and clunky”

Response: I wrote down this quote because as we were going through all of our media presentations all of the different types of technology used to be huge and clunky. As the years go by TVs, Computers, Radios, etc. keep getting smaller, lighter, and more advanced. I personally, am looking forward to see what the future will hold because it is all so interesting and impressive how much technology has changed even through my life time. Last summer I was babysitting two of my boys up at my cabin, Ashton and Brody and their parents had a box of VHS out on the floor. They had no idea what it was or what it did. That made me feel old :P ha.. Just last week my parents sent me a link of this toddler using an iPad and “sliding” thru the pages and different screens of a magazine, But when given an actual magazine, the toddler didn’t know what to do. I attached the video below.

Week 10

Quote: “it talks about the soundtrack to your life.” (Learning about Klout and some of the different elements of it such as Last FM)

Response: I wrote down this quote just because I have some really good memories about music, especially with my brother Tyler, who is a Junior at Hermantown High School & a student at UMD. We have always had fun playing very loud music on our car rides to and from school, and one of the songs we played a lot was Soundtrack to my Life. I love that song. I love how for every mood you are in, or every experience has a song that can be played to match it, it makes life so much more entertaining when it has different theme songs to go with it. Check out the Music Video:

Week 11

Quote: “It doesn’t really matter anyway”

Response: I know I wrote down this quote… but I apparently forgot to write notes along with it to help me remember what I wanted to say to go along with it. Which is kind of ironic since that makes it seem like I don’t care, even though I am pretty sure this is one of the COOLEST classes I have ever taken, and I have learned so much. Media Literacy helped me become more media savvy and opened so many different doors and resources. It helped inspire me to create a blog to share my art portfolio, blogging has helped my art come to life and has given me the ability to easily show my work in any setting. Check out that blog at myart03.blogspot.com I keep adding to it and I am liking how it is turning out.

Week 12

Quote: “Who are we Really”

Response: I really like how this class flows, and how so many different theories and ideas are thrown around. It keeps us on our toes wondering what is in store for us each and every day. I wrote down this quote today in class as you were discussing how you have different ways of dressing and/or expressing yourself, and by doing that you leave the element of making our own judgments. Which is kind of how life ends up working out we are given different sides and have to figure out what seems right or wrong to us. One of my favorite examples from growing up is with politics, my parents would take me and my two siblings to many different rally’s and events, for both parties, so we could make our own informed decision. Which I think was really smart of my parents to do, and between me, Tyler, and Savanna, we do all have different opinions and we stand for different topics, which I think is better than a lot of different situations where people are not informed and speak up and out of place, because they a lot of times just sound dumb and ignorant. Sooo yeahh, there it tis for this week.
