"It's Narcissus heaven: we've finally put the 'I' in Me." the article that i decide to pick is "
Society is Dead: We have Retreated into the iWorld" The article he was
about how the world had become part of the iWorld. The iWorld is how are
people are so involved in their own world that they are missing the
beauty of the real world. Andrew says that most people have their iPods,
iPads, and iMacks that we don't pay attention to life around them.
Andrew is saying that because we live in the iWorld we have lost a lot
of the wonderful things in this world. We missed those random
conversations that people have when are we walking around, the birds
signing and the nature around us. Now people walk around listening to
music, or their faces are stuck in a screen ether in their iPads or
iMacks.
He
also talks about how iTunes has change the wonderful point of music. In
the past music was "something that brought people together, gave them
the comfort of knowing that others too understood the pleasure of a
Brahms symphony or that Beatles album." No music you can get any time.
People don't have to wait for a long time to get songs that they liked
now they get it in seconds and we have lost the wonders of learning
about the artist and the reason why they wrote the song. Andrew explain
his argument really well; his argument in this article is that people
need to leave the iWorld that we live in and discovered the beauty of
the real world.
Andrea, rather than summarize the author's article, I want you to pick it apart and talk about what works and what doesn't work...
