Assignment 4

1. Discuss what the main idea of the video is?
The main idea of the video is to inform the audience about how different the generation we are living in today is from the past generations. Also it is meant to show us how different the pace of life is in the different places in the world. It makes us realize how our pace of life influences our quality of life and the one who surround us.

 2. Do you see yourself as past oriented or future oriented? Why?
I see myself more future oriented than past oriented. How I can tell that I am future oriented is because everything I do in the present I make sure that it will affect me in a positive way in the future. I don't find past experiences worthless though, I still keep them in my mind but I give more importance to my future.

 3. Do you agree or disagree with the speaker in the video? Explain why? 
I agree with the speaker of this video because when I think about the things he said it made me realize that our generations are both improving but loosing many values at the same time. He mentions how American families are decreasing the time they spend together, and how teenagers are dropping out of school because they get upset when they cant control everything like in videogames and society continues to fall apart due to our dependence on technology.

 4. Do you agree with the speaker's view that young adults' minds are being "digitally rewired"? Explain your answer.
I do believe that teenager's minds are being digitally rewired by technology. they make us get used to being the controller of everything therefore when we are sent out to the new world we cant stand having to be ordered and not having everything our way. We get wired into the 'My way or the highway' mindset.

 5. Why does the narrator in the video argue that young people dislike a single-function device such as a wristwatch?  
Young people dislike single-function devices such as the wristwatch because we are used to utilizing devices that are multi-functional and make our life a lot easier. We are too lazy to even do a simple thing such as figuring out the time on a watch that is not digital. this is upsetting because we want everything to be easy and done with no effort.


 1. Why did Sir Tim Berner's Lee decide to make the World Wide Web free when he created it at CERN?
He decided to make the World Wide Web free when he created it so that every single person around the world could have access to it. The fact that it is available to everyone makes us free and communicated with other people. If they charged for the Web many people would not be able to use it and be informed about the happenings in the world.

 2. What are the benefits of having "web addresses," an idea that Sir Tim Berner's Lee created?
The benefits of having Web Addresses are that it is easier for a person to access the desired web page. If we had to use the code it would be a lot of more work having to memorize each code for the desired web page.

 3. How does the World Wide Web allow people from all over the world to communicate?
It allows everyone all over the world to communicate because by using the internet we can communicate with people that are all around the world. The web is available to everyone, but we have to pay for the internet but with it we have many advantages in the touch of our fingertips.

 4. Why is it important to link information? What are the benefits of having instant access to information?
 It is important to link information because we are able to access it more quickly without having to look for the web page again. The benefits of having access to the information is that it encourages people to do it due to the fact that it takes less effort.
