Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that I’m going to be using Audacity to produce a Literary Narrative podcast!
(I hope this was all I needed to do!)
Month: September 2018
During the TED Talk named “Connected, But Alone”, I felt that there was one main point the speaker wanted to address: That we’re replacing actual connections with humans for lesser connections through technology. Personally, I don’t use social media and technology to communicate with my friends, I prefer actually talking to them face-to-face. But I can see how others would feel as though technology is the bridge to a simpler, better social life. I doubt that people will become completely inept when it comes to making actual connections with humans face-to-face, but the idea certainly is worrying.
This webinar honestly felt a touch insulting. I understand that this is a scholarly look at my generation with the intended audience being older generations that are teaching iGen students, but nevertheless the tone makes it sound like the speaker has a completely negative opinion of us. While some statistics I could understand and completely relate to, I often felt as though the speaker thought of us as a lesser generation. Granted, it was supposed to be a webinar regarding the social and educational changes of students through recent generations and isn’t intended to cover the entirety of generational changes.
My main concern when it comes to English Composition is the correct amount of commas. This is due to the fact that I tend to use a lot of commas in any form of writing, as it just feels like how it should be typed.
