Hey guys… so I decided I’m going to address the weekly topic in this writing, but I’m also going to use this post as a sort of rant for the semester. First of all, I had no idea the dark web was so small. In my mind, it was always…

It was easy for me to pick a piece to analyze. I really loved reading both of Ray Bradbury’s pieces at the beginning of the semester, so I chose to analyze both “The Veldt” and “There Will Come Soft Rains”. I chose my colors based on some of the themes…

Each layer represents how easily you an switch from page to page. The computer represents how we are able to access the internet through devices. My first layer addresses where the internet is. It’s across the world. It’s inside and outside. It’s in our brains even when we’re not actively using it. The second layer full of words represents the knowledge we gain from the internet and how easily we can access it. The third layer represents the connections we make through the internet (the people we meet and the communities we join). The fourth layer (the circuit board) represents the technology associated with the internet and the advancements that have been made through it.

Ok, first of all, I didn’t realize how much I was going to love this movie. I was expecting a long, drawn-out documentary that I was going to want to sleep through. I was pulled into this story immediately. Jesse Eisenberg does an amazing job in this film. The way…

It’s hard to imagine exactly how big the internet really is. Sure, there’s…

Ray Bradbury depicts a chilling tale in this short story. The buildup to the actual event was suspenseful and well executed. Bradbury was able to hint at his point without outright stating it. I think it’s an interesting way to warn us about the dangers of technology. While I don’t think that technology will develop into physically harming us, I do think that it is already beginning to harm us in mental, emotional, and social aspects. Additionally I applaud his use of language throughout this piece. It was strong and descriptive in a way that really created a scene in my mind.
