In-Class Bonus Assignment


In this picture, again I am emphasizing the negative effects of technology on our natural lives. With each of the new advances, come many new drawbacks. In the image above, I am depicting the idea of isolationism from society as a result of abuse of technology. In today's society, all you need is a computer and an internet connection and you have the ability to know whatever, whenever. No longer is there a pressing need to go outside, to be active. From Peapod by Stop & Shop to web-chatting with Skype and Oovoo, going out and socializing is becoming less and less necessary. In the image above, you see a woman walking a seemingly endless road where at the end is society (a group of people symbolizing society), but in order to get to that society and begin her journey back to natural human communication, she must put down her laptop and focus on the journey ahead, not her Facebook page.
