1. The only thing which I did not like about the presentation was in the video where all of the little blurbs in articles were highlighted. The reason I did not like this is because all of them were changed so fast that i did not have time to actually read what they said. For all I know they could have just highlighted random paragraphs in random articles. They related to postmodernity by saying that there is not much emphasis on the high and low ground and therer is more emphasis on the middle. Also, now everyone can connect with anyone through the internet instead of having one person connect with many.
2. One example which I thought would be good for this project before, I even saw that it was in it, was the family with the balloon in Colorado. That is a prime example of a family pulling a stunt to try to get noticed and using the fact that they knew the entire country would cover it and feel sympathetic about it if they said that their son was in the balloon. Another example which supports the group's position are all of the random videos on youtube which show people doing stupid, sometimes even painful, things just to try to get noticed. All of those videos are prime examples of poeple just trying to get noticed and have their 15 minutes, or 15 seconds, of fame.
3. My two questions are kind of on the personal level, they are as follows:
Do any of you personally want to be famous?
Would you personally rather be infamous or not remembered at all?
