The use of technology has increased rapidly as time has gone by.  In “Growing Up Tethered”, Turkle proves that the young generation need to be connected at all times by relying on their phones a lot. Reality is now based on technology, which people now live off of. Turkle’s argument in “Growing up Tethered” was used in the form of a book, with a well-organized smoothly transitioned article telling of the disconnection of the world we live in today, due to technologies such as cell phones, and social networks. We are slowly becoming a society of distance amongst each other with face to face conversations being limited to 20minutes phone conversations, and on social network sights we are making a portrayal of a person who we are

Social media has become one of the greatest developments of human technology history. In today’s society, human are surrounding by the social media and wireless devices. In Shannon Matesky’s spoken word poem “MySpace”, the poet explains “physical contact is more important than our number of contacts” (Matesky). According to the poet, Shannon Matesky successfully redefines the word “Myspace” from a formal definition of “the distance from other people or things that a person needs in order to remain comfortable” (Merriam-Webster), to an operational definition of the contact created on the social media. People now forget how to stay with face-to-face relationship, social media become the new way of communication. “We can’t deal with the face-to-face so we let technology replace the space that people are supposed to fill”(Matesky), said Matesky, we are losing the ability to connect each individual face to face, and socially connection has been taking over through social media by using technologic device. Shannon Matesky has successfully redefined the actual meaning of “Myspace” from the distance between two to the space one’s create on the social media. MySpace no longer refers to distance between two, but to

You’re walking into school and it’s like any other day. Since it’s December, most teachers are getting ready for winter break with parties and festivities...until you hear a series of gunshots echo throughout the hallway. Then an announcement comes on, telling everyone that the school is under lockdown. But when the police arrive, it’s already too late. This is what happened to the children at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Several years after the shooting, Adam Lanza, the shooter, was believed to be suffering with several mental disabilities, but he was never diagnosed. During elementary school he was also bullied and beaten as a child at school by classmates.

The way Skrzynecki uses these aesthetic features creates empathy in the reader and creates sympathy for migrants feeling

There’s this feeling, it's indescribable. You know it, I know it and evokes anxiety that consumes your mind. Your heart begins to race, your stomach begins to drop and you frantically race to fix this problem. In just a few moments your life feels over. You feel alone, in complete and utter despair, it’s like you’re in a chasm of intense loneliness and neglect. This feeling when the wifi disconnects. We can’t bear to stop scrolling to see what our ‘friends’ are doing, uploading, liking, reacting and commenting. After all, social media connects us. It brings the world a little closer, and yet, we’ve never been more disconnected to the world and the ones we love than now.

He spent most of his time playing on an online chat room talking to "mass murders". Adam was obsessed with playing a game on the computer game called “School Shooting,” in which the player enters a school and randomly fires on students and teachers

This image of Ishmael Beah contains many visual techniques that creates an effect and accurately represents his story. Ishmael is the image’s focal point, his profile enhanced by the lighting, signifying that he is the main character and that he has a story to tell. However, even though he is the focal point of the picture, the children surrounding him still take up more than half of the image. This shows that it doesn’t only take a single person to create the whole picture and the presence of others completes the image as well. Similar to Ishmael Beah’s story, his friends and loved ones’ presence physically and mentally helped him at times when he was so close to giving up, and his story would not be complete without their presence.

My name was almost James Highway 44 Januszewski after almost being born in a jeep rushing to Seven Rivers Hospital. Unfortunately my parents made it to the hospital and so I received my middle name after my Tio David. I was homeschooled for a short period of time during middle school and during my freshmen year of high school. Thankfully I was accepted into the Health Academy where I excelled in my biomedical class and other honors classes while still making up for my missing freshmen year. The medical field was the first area I was interested in during high school, mainly due to parental and grandparental, my grandfather attended Berkeley University and went through the honors program, pressure to pursue

Magallanes was raised in the Azusa Barrio of Los Angeles. His artwork is influenced by the cultural and social elements of his upbringing. At the age of fifteen, he was expelled from high school, but was accepted into the Ryman Arts program at the Otis-Parsons College campus which encouraged him to become a professional artist. The experience of participating in two distinct worlds continues to inform the work.

In “Big Cell Phone”, Instagram argues that technology is controlling our life style .. They claim that the technology nowadays has taken a different role than just a phone to use for calls and messages, it has gone way too far by having our civilization act depending on their likes and popularity on popular social medias. First, the picture has a red background, this gives off a not too comfortable atmosphere, perhaps tense and gloomy, the scenery given on the picture express complains, and this supports the claim by isolation . It reinforces the message by suggesting that the dominance of technology over people and their robotic response is a disaster for our society.. In addition, the people

What made the “Polish Rider “different was you see a single man maybe in his late 20 on a side white horse yet so plain but it was powerful to me! I like his posture in the picture, I was not sure what his mission was in the picture but it spoke to me and I like the overall structure of the painting both painting however did feature harmonization of a goal that the renaissance was trying to capture of both paintings. Even the “Polish man” to me was seen as a noble historic figure, even though the picture was plain to me, I know behind the painting is history and there is more than meets the eye. Even though I can’t understand and the more I try to understand the “Polish Man.” That what intrigues me more about the painting, that I can’t understand it. The museum to me offered more than enough context of European culture. Providing many concepts to the broad horizon of the many different artists featured in the museum focusing on decorative arts and what European artist had to offer to the many admirers of the fine arts in this century. The exhibit also had a few rugs from Persian, the rugs were so smooth to me they felt like velvet with the soft silk around the rug. Just looking at the rug I like the designs on embodied in

Between the use of film or digital photography, film is the more effective method when looking for originality and creativity. With the adoption of digital photography, the younger generations, as well as the older and more current photographers are becoming lazy. These groups must recognize that the art of the photograph is being jeopardized by the digital camera and the camera phone. For the current photographers as well as amateur photographers, this essay will serve as testimony to film as well as other chemical methods, and how they shouldn’t be ignored, but preferred. The digital era has had a massive impact on the art world and all of its mediums, but for photography this impact has resulted in the removal of the human from the photograph making process. This intimate process is what makes it an art form. All of films imperfections and unique qualities, as well as its monetary value and scarcity are just a few factors that have made it so precious. To replace this entire process with a microchip is offensive and undermines the importance of the process that is needed to make a photograph. Anyone can take a picture but you must make a photograph, and this skill is being simplified to a digital camera. The impact of the digital era on photography has hindered the process of making a photograph; painting the art form obsolete in today’s society.

The title will mislead the audience because to most people Facebook is the foremost social media website in the world. It can’t be possible for it to be causing a decline in human interaction. The artwork shows a man using the Facebook logo as a periscope. The man is inside an enclosure peeking out at the world through Facebook. Pawel uses his satire style and metaphors again to show how people isolate themselves behind screens. People are becoming more socially awkward because of all the mobile devices. Few people have the skill of being able to talk face to face. People find it scary or awkward; it’s much easier to just hide behind a screen. Social media is one of the biggest influence in this growing cultural issue. It seems like everyone has it and post every moment of their life so there is really no reason to communicate. People can just sit at home and know what everyone is doing without even having a conversation with them. It’s kind of scary when you think about it. These pieces go to show that Pawel really knows how to tell a story with a simple painting. The simplicity of his works often elicits a smile or even a laugh, but after further inspection a deeper meaning begins to grow in the mind. His artwork tells a story that many people know all too well, but just haven’t been forced to come to terms with

Bethesda softworks concept artist Adam Adamowicz, born in March 9 1968, had a tremendous imagination. His designs are appreciated worldwide in several of Bethesda’s best sellers. He worked with Jaleco Entertainment Inc. between 2002 and 2003, it was in 2005 that he joined Bethesda. But before he decided to gift the gaming industry with his art, He took on some freelance designing for Dark horse comics’ new recruits’ anthology, and fantagrafics books’ Duplex planet. As well as cover illustrations for Malibu graphics. A year after his last work, Adam died of lung cancer, February 9 2012. From then on, Bethesda’s games would never be the same. Just look at The elder scrolls online, just terrible.

“Untitled” by Paul Kuczynski also contains satire, however the author of this portrait uses satire to depict the theme of isolation, instead of misery, poverty, ruin and neglect. This simple, yet thought provoking picture, shows a man looking through a periscope that is shaped like the Facebook symbol, to see through a window above an open door. The door is not barricaded in any way, shape or form, so the man is able to walk outside and see what is going on in the world first hand. Instead, he chooses to stay inside by himself and view the world through Facebook. Through “Untitled,” Kuczynski conveys the message that social media interaction is overtaking physical interaction. People are more likely to go on social media to find out what is happening than to go out and experience it themselves. Kuczynski’s painting greatly showcases that even in its simplicity.
