Re: Eccentrick Art Show 2009

Amazing art show this year! I was actually surprised of how talented these art students at Mary Ward are. The media, design, visual and photo students all did a wonderful job on their art pieces, which definitely showed that their hard work was paid off. I really liked the big skull in Art, because it was so cool and creative! I also really enjoyed the art projects of the design students, such as ceramic sculptures. I was with some of those students ever since they were drawing the blueprint of their projects, and many of them turned out extremely well. The photography students had some very nice photo albums and many pictures really looked like they were taken by professionals! Lastly, the Media students did a fabulous job as well, with the multiple exposure and the vectorized inspirational person. I was actually quite proud of myself and was surprised at how my Media projects turned out. This year's Eccentrick art show was definitely a great success, and I really have no criticism at all. Hopefully, next year's show would be the same, if not even greater! =)

Re: Everything's Amazing and Nobody's Happy

Our generation right now definitely takes technology for granted. After watching that video, I really began wondering why so much teenagers are always unhappy these days, and I can't seem to find a good enough answer. Why is it that us humans are never satisfied with what we have and always seem to want more. I have to admit that technology has become a very important part of my life, and I really can't imagine myself living without it because I have never really experienced a day without technology. However, I think that if technology was never introduced to me, I would have been able to adapt quite well. Sometimes, I think that even though technology has a ton of benefits, it is really starting to spoil everyone. With the touch of a button entertainment is suddenly present in our own homes. People no longer need to confront each other face to face to talk about something, and now, they don't even have to hear each other's voices in order to get a message across. Do these technology really benefit us, or have we all just become lazy bums who sit at home all day chatting online and watching TV? I would actually like trying to live a few weeks in the "old days" and see what it was like. I'm sure that doing certain things would become a lot harder, but I'm also quite certain that people were in much better health back then, with not so much obesed people. Even though I'm saying that technology has harmed our society in some way, I believe that if we use technology for the right reasons, we can definitely make the best of it and it can help our world do great things. Right now, I really cannot think of anymore inventions that could possibly take place in our world now, but I do wonder what the future would be like, and what new inventions are to come!

Re: Cellphone Matter Manners

Cellphones are becoming so much more common in society that people are beginning to not be aware of their surroundings when using their cellphone. Even though I do not own a cellphone, I am well aware of the people around me who do have cellphones and use them at the most inappropriate times. I have seen countless people on the roads, talking on their cellphones while driving. It really annoys me because many car crashes result form a person talking on their cellphone, so these people are basically putting the lives of others at risk. Also, when I see students texting each other in class, I begin to wonder what's so important that it can't wait until lunch or after school to tell their friends. I think that it is extremely disrespectful to the teachers when students are not paying attention and texting away. Sometimes when I'm eating at a restaurant, I see people on their cellphones, talking very loudly, even though they have a table-full of people with them. Seriously, do these people know that they are not the only people in the restaurant and that there are other people there who are forced to listen to their phone conversations? Some people really take their cellphone for granted, thinking that since they have a cellphone, they have the right to use it whenever they want. However, I do not believe that that is the case. There is definitely rules that need to be followed when using a cellphone. Here are some rules that I have came up with:

1. No talking on the phone while driving. This is seriously very dangerous and as if driving a car is not enough to keep a person occupied. Even though some people are great at multi-tasking, it is not a good time to test out that skill when other people's lives may be in danger because of them.

2. Wait until lunchtime or after school to use your cellphone. I'm sure that whatever you need to tell your friend, is not so important that you can't wait for a few hours.

3. Turn your cellphones off when you're watching a movie, concert, etc. It is extremely rude to others when someone's phone starts to ring a closed event. Even though you may not be focused on the movie and the concert, the people around you are trying to enjoy their time.

4. Talk at a reasonable volume so that the person on the other side can hear you, but you do not disrupt the people around you. There is no need to shout at your phone when the other person can hear you perfectly fine if you talk quieter.

5. If you're going to talk for hours and hours on your cellphone, dont. It's a big waste of your money and those radiation waves that come from the cellphone isn't good for you. If you really need to spend hours talking to your friend, I'm sure that you would either be at home, or somewhere that you can use a regular phone. I don't get why people still use their cellphones at home when there's a perfectly good phone sitting right in front of them. Also, make sure that what you have to say is very important, because sometimes, people just waste their time away chatting on their cellphone about nothing in particular.
