There were two articles that particularly interested me. The first was Ellen's view on technology. Her arguments made sense, to a point. There were definitely a few points that could have been easily argued against. The problem was not the concepts she discussed, but the manner in which she presented them. Ellen exaggerated a little too much as she brought up each new problem with technology. The entire article was like one huge hyperbole. This is understandable, considering she is a comedian. Such an article, though, has more right to be in the entertainment section of this book and not the technology section.
The second article to catch my eye was the six-letter story. As hard as it is to write a long story from scratch, it is far harder so sum up a life story in six words. I want to say that the idea behind them is to be as vague as possible, so that there are multiple interpretations to those six words. Also, many of the interpretations should apply to the subject of the story. My favorite by far is "The freaks, they always find me", by Ginger Lime. I have no idea if this story applies to this person, but I feel as if I know exactly what this person means, and I could not put it any more plainly if I wanted to.
The artilce Ellen wrote really seemed to be trying to make fun of everything and did really make a very good point. I agree that this artilce should have been in the entertainmet section it really doesn't have anything to do with technology.
ReplyDeleteWhile the essay was definitely entertaining, do you see the point of how it did discuss technology- whether you agree with the argument or not?
