Weekly Blog #2: MACHINES ARE CONTROLLING US

Hello, today I am really content with myself because it is early and I already did my homework and two projects, which is a new record for me. Anyways I am doing this blog entry correctly this time, so this is what we saw last week.

What I learned last week on SMRT 140

• Boring af video
• German Technician memes
• Screencasting #2
• Memes and Temes

One of the videos that was on media this week was called Dan Dennet: Dangerous Memes, and it was SOOOO BORING OMG. Dennet was an old man and his way of speaking was incredibly boring, I think it was due to the fact that his talk was targeted to other audicience. However, on resume he said that memes were threatening our culture and that's why they are dangerous.

We also saw a Buzzfeed article which was full with memes  of a  German university, where an authomatic door was broken and the  technician didn't fix it, so people overfloaded the door with memes, kinda protesting about the problem. This level of pettinnes actually made the problem to be solved, it was still very funny.

Something that we did that got me thinking the whole week was watching a video of memes again but we a twist. This lady basically said that machines are controlling and that we needed to take care because they will rule the world and that's why aliens ahaven't contacted us, or something like that. Anyways, it was very interesting, high, and I like it a lot.

Lastly, we made a screencasting about a critic review of something that we watched or read during the week. I made it about machines controlling us, it was okay I guess and I made it on time.

The word of the week is:

Memetics

Thanks for reading me, love you lots byeEE.
