Week 3

Artifact

Week 3
Who or what, in your view, will define what it means to be human in the future? Who or what defines it now?

Video 1  Toyota GT 86  as stated human emotion/breaking out
the opposition created here is between digital technology as ‘unreal’ and de-humanising, and the natural world as authentic and living; This opposition continue to be played out in popular discussions about technology-mediated education.  It takes the personal interaction out of education.

Video 2 BT heart to heart - Cell phone.  The aspects of ‘the human’ do you seen as being ‘re-asserted’ here is the fact that he started to email or text his girl, then he decided against it.  He decided to use the phone and call and hear her voice.

Video 3  World Builder  - building a virtual reality on a time schedule – decorating and coloring with a touch of a color
portrayal of a god, creates sunlight – a female character comes out. It turns out is probably a wife or other loved one and he is creating a virtual reality for a person in a recovery unit – likely a coma.

video 4 they are made out of meat;  The conclusions drawn from this about the human body, is we are destructible, maybe even malleable.  They portray the fact that we are flesh and all things inside of us are just a worthless piece of meat. The body is a stable basis for defining what it means to be human.  Without a body we have to be made of metal.  We are just as God made us in a definite and intricate way.  Our blood flows, our heartbeats, our blood clots, and our body’s reproduce.
