My impact is going to be how technology mainly hand held devices are effecting teens in their everyday lives. There is both a good and bad impact with this. I'm going to go with the bad impact. Focusing on how people get so drawn in to their devices it almost takes them out of reality. We are losing human empathy, our devices have us so focused on our selves we care less about others. Casualties of this are car accidents. People become so focused on sending a message to communicate to someone else or changing music, that typing letters on little keypad at the time become more important then realizing your driving a 3 ton piece of machinery that could endanger the lives of others without proper use. Most of these accidents statistically are caused by people of the age range of 17-20.

My impact is going to be on communication and how before technology there where stronger relationships between people, and how technology has put a divide between our personal interactions. It seems these days we cant have a conversation with out wanting or needing to look at some social media to check our status. I want to depict different forms of communication like and how we started as a human race with shapes and images to tell our stories rather then words and how now we are reverting back to this more simplistic universal language of imagery.

New technology is helping kids in the learning environment. 

Comparing the old and new.

I want my pictures to be of students k-12 grade, who are studying with pencil and paper and then some with tablets or internet. whatever they do. 

I want visuals of learning how to handwrite and then type.

Coloring books vs. coloring apps.

whatever else you can think of. 

have fun :)

Erika's Project focus

So I'm no closer than I was on Thursday, regarding my topic. I've pondered over how I should refine my focus and here is my revision:

"The impact of the evolution of the shopping experience, for the generation X female shopper."

My focus is my demographic, women ages 32-45. I feel that this age group like we discussed in class has seen a great shift from pre-digital to the digital age. I forgot the official term I think we were called "imigrants" because the millenials are considered "native."

I thought I would focus more on the positive aspect of the digital age shopping experience. The convenience, the accessiblity, adaptability, ease of use, more free time, how word of mouth is more digital now instead of vocal. and how that affects the "modern woman."



Perferrable images:

I think I found my Impact

My Impact (hopefully)

I think I know my impact now. With 3D modeling and how it's processed into making them, there is more job openings for a lot of majors needed for this. Actors, 3D Modelers and those who work with the actors, I don't know what they call them, need to look them up but it opens up more jobs to those who have passion in the arts of creating and designing. It allows those who use living people to capture movement and use their looks into their characters to open jobs for actors who are just starting and those who are professional.

I hope that can be an impact if not let me know so I can revise my idea for an impact.

Anyone come up with their Impact yet?

To all Time Based Media Students




I'm still trying to figure out mine but can't think of anything of an impact for 3D animations. Have any of you guys come up with your impacts yet so I can start getting images for you? Need to know because I don't want to be rushing to find pictures for you guys. Please leave comments with your impact, Thanks!
