  1. I always sit in front of the computer, I see myself zone out, I become isolated from the outside world for the few minutes that i had recorded my self i don't talk it's creepy .

    When I am watching myself im not sure how much i like the way that i spend time time on the computer, but i feel that i am even more connected to life outside my own community.

    I would block out crap sites i would allow my son or daughter go on yahoo, news sites, I would want them to know more.

    In my video i move my eyes around and there is little physical activity but mentally i am reading facebook feed and maybe i should have react physically to the new news that i come across.

    I'll play video games for an hour or two leaving my mouth open and i think the idea of the Wii was smart because it allows us to not to zone out like we do on the computer.Although i do not completely agree because its not real

  2. good stuff. i liked how you made your video showing two different perspectives. You allowed the viewers to see both what you are seeing and how you are viewed by them while actually doing the activities. You said in your text that you thought it was creepy to see yourself speaking so you stood quiet (haha) that allowed me to check out your faciall expressions reacting to you on Facebook. It seemed to me as though only reading facebook updates and feeds was boring yet you chose to continue to do so instead of changing the website or activities all together. I like how you said you dont like how you spend your time on facebook when you can be out connecting with your "community" yet you being on facebook becoming aware of all of your friends/family's news helps you stay ahead of what is happening within your own personal community without having to leave your home. i think that it is sometimes easier to do it this way. If i wanted to connect with my own community myself without going out i guess i could turn on my television set to a decent channel and not my usual picks of sitcoms and whatnot. Or visit news-related websites like Yahoo or CNN instead of constanly on social-networking sites. Some ideas i can throw by you to help further your future blog posts are to include maybe small clips of you actually doing the activities you mentioned like playing the wii. It was a great video. the link to the website really screamed creativity.

  3. hey jin i enjoyed your video. it was very different and interesting. it was realistic and i think that its what a typical american teenagers do most of their days. all we do is basically sit in front of the computer all day and go on facebook and you tube to look at funny videos at people. i have to say as a teenager i do the same things you do and sit in fron of the computer a lot.
    maybe next time you could possibly add more things in there to make it interesting to show other things we do digitally.
    good video ttul =)
