Hi, so here is coming a new post.

Today about the book „The Circle“. Our task is to think about whether we would or wouldn’t want  The Circle” to exist in real life.

I don’t want „The Circle“ to exist in real life.

I believe that their inventions aren’t bad at all. But there are a lot of disadvantages. And those points are more serious to me. For example  SeeChange, the idea of placing cameras  wherever you want to, to look what is going on or how the weather is like, is really cool. And also the fact that the cameras are very cheap and that they are really small. But the more you think about it, the more bad aspects you will find. So for example  that you can stalk people  or you can get stalked  and you wouldn’t even notice it. That was just one thing about it, but you can find so much.

And it’s not only SeeChange , it’s the same with all the other inventions.  Their general thoughts are really creative, but they are too focussed on getting the product attractive, that they forget to think about the problems that come along.  And that’s why it don’t want „The Circle“ to exist, because the disadvantages of the product are to serious.

Hi again!
So our second task is, to think about  what the cartoonist wants to convey and if we agree or disagree.

On the top you can see the cartoon, I'm writing about. It shows the evolution of communication, started in the stone age till today.

I think the cartoonist wants to convey, that in the first three steps the people and the communication develops. But when the time of the internet started, at the end of the 20th centurie it is all regressing. Because in the stone age they could only write a few words, in step three the length of the message was unlimited, but then it's regressing. An nowadays you can only write 140 characters on twitter.

I'm disagreeing, because I think it's still developing, because the communication is getting easier. In the stone age only a few people saw what you wrote, but today communication is global, fast, simple: for everyone.
