Sight - Video Commentary
In the video "Sight", the filmmakers present a world in which everything is seen through an advanced product that allowed people to analyze and see society in a different way. At the beginning of the video, the product seemed amazing; it seemed to make everything much easier and provide a guideline for everyday activities. But it is not hard to see how dependent people became on this product.
I believe that this is something evident in our society as well. As more technology and innovations are being created, we as a society are moving away from traditional lifestyles and practices. This is not necessarily a bad thing, technology has allowed for more opportunities for research and a more comfortable lifestyle; however, it does have its drawbacks. Dependency and reliance on technology has taken away some important habits. For instance, communication is now almost always mediated. Many people lose the skill in talking to others face to face, hiding behind their computers or cell phones.
In regard to the video, while I do believe that the product is very efficient and handy, as with anything, we should be aware of our limits.
