The Blog Project

See, English 110 exists outside of the classroom. We'll be sharpening our analytical minds in this heated arena: blog-dom.

The point of the blog is for you to practice making 1) observations and 2) analyses on the material you come across in your day-to-day virtual lives, and then to share your analytical experiments with your classmates. Take this opportunity to explore the course theme and broaden your understanding of your chosen sources. Social media, YouTube, and online articles are rife with opportunities for interesting analysis. So impress us with your brilliance, hipness, and pop-cultural savoir faire. This is all about practice (and nerd/cool points, of course) so really go for it.

Let's say to post (roughly) once every other week, which makes a minimum of 5 posts total. There's no limit to how much you can post. But I'll remind you: if you start honing your analytical skills here, your grade and your chances for success over the next few years will markedly improve. Try stuff out--this is graded simply on doing it. If you're truly exploring, you'll probably make some analytical trips that you look back on and are slightly embarrassed about--and that's a good thing.

Best Buy- Outdated World Commercial

This commercial shows how quickly technology is advancing. We don't have time to get used to something because a new one is already on the market. The guy getting the tv slaps himself in the face which gives the idea that new technology is a "slap in the face" because society can't keep up with technological advances. They run out of words to describe the new items because everything seems to be "new" nowadays. It was smart for Best Buy to come out with this program of buying back old products. This helps people not feel so bad about buying new things because they can still get some money for the old ones. Technology goes along with wealth too in this aspect. The wealthier people are able to keep up with the rapidly advancing technologies where as the people with a tighter budget find it wasteful to keep buying new products.
