That our society is too concered with the i ternet and they we’re too sensitive. If you don’t like something don’t acknowledge it, move on.

I can definitely agree with that

The internet takes up to much of our time

The quote is saying cultures are destroyed when they become irrelevant. The screenshot is saying we’ve became attached to some type of screen. The picture means we don’t use our access to internet wisely. They all associate with what our society his becoming. They say our society spends too much time on a screen.

Technology bad

That’s true.

Lani Belgarde

I agree.

Caden Caywood

I believe that to be accurate

Griffin Mylan

The pictures represent how society has grown to rely on technology and how we take many things for granted.

Blazen Burgess

10/10/2018 01:19:59 pm

I agree.

Johnny

Wow that’s great

Technology good

Preston

I completely agree.

I think that all three are saying that we really don’t live up to our potential in a way. It also talks about negatives of technology.

Blazen Burgess

10/10/2018 01:20:52 pm

Very true.

Lani Belgarde

10/10/2018 01:25:42 pm

True.

Caden Caywood

10/10/2018 01:25:48 pm

Very neat

Will

10/10/2018 01:26:06 pm

Yes I totally agree

Preston

10/10/2018 01:26:27 pm

A well said statement.

Jaicei

All three of them talk about technology. They are trying to tell us how prevelent technology is in our society.

Tierryn

10/10/2018 01:23:52 pm

Great ideas.

Sam

Our society is so centered around what we are comfortable with and once we are comfortable with something it is hard to change. The quote, screenshot, and picture all revolve around something’s that we were used to. The quote represents book, the picture represents technology, and the screenshot represents the “difference” between the two.

Ariana

10/10/2018 01:22:00 pm

I agree, it’s hard to change.

Sammy H.

10/10/2018 01:22:34 pm

I agree, we stick to what’s comfortable.

Avery

10/10/2018 01:24:36 pm

That’s a very smart way of thinking

Sammy H.

10/10/2018 01:20:21 pm

It shows that people are being controlled without realizing it. They all represent something being changed in society by adding another element. Like cell phones, computers, and cars.

Jordan

10/10/2018 01:25:06 pm

The more elements added the more society changes

Ariana

10/10/2018 01:20:40 pm

The pictures kind of show how much the world has evolved. They kind of mean that once people make habtits its hard to change. Like if they always use their phones they will have a hard time breaking using their phones.

Treygan

10/10/2018 01:22:54 pm

I like the example of phones

Taylee Matthews

10/10/2018 01:35:05 pm

I like the example

Taija

12/17/2018 01:38:24 pm

Yeah now we are attached to our phones

Taija

12/17/2018 01:38:54 pm

Yeah now we are attached to our phones and always want them with us.

Treygan

10/10/2018 01:21:15 pm

I think that all three say that we aren’t doing all we can and aren’t living our best lives by not using everything we have and with all the technology we have we should be able to be doing so much more to improve our life styles.

Johnny

10/10/2018 01:22:42 pm

This makes sense

Taija

12/17/2018 01:39:27 pm

Yeah we aren’t using everything we have

Aidan Adams

10/10/2018 01:22:28 pm

The quote means if someone loses faith in something then they will no longer depend on it. The screenshot describes how ignorant our society is that we have all this information in our hands and we don’t use it. The picture discusses the phrases of evolution and how use technology to do more and more. Some similarities are that they are all talking about change. Another similarity is that they all have to do with evolution with man. One critique is that they say that our depdence on technology is overwhelming man.

Caden Caywood

10/10/2018 01:25:00 pm

You went hard. Nice job

Will

10/10/2018 01:28:06 pm

Outstanding comment Aidan.

Jordan

10/10/2018 01:23:15 pm

It means that culture and people are always changing. It’s saying our society spends to much time looking at a screen. We use the internet for the wrong things.

Tierryn

10/10/2018 01:24:41 pm

True statement.

Avery

10/10/2018 01:23:15 pm

The three pictures show how much we rely on the internet for everything. If someone from the 1950s came to where are today they would be very confused.

Ariana

10/10/2018 01:24:10 pm

I agree, they would be confused

Sam

10/10/2018 01:26:45 pm

I agree that our society does revolve around technology

Eli

10/10/2018 01:27:30 pm

How confused?

Emma Dahle

10/10/2018 01:32:00 pm

We do rely on internet a lot more now.

Caden Caywood

10/10/2018 01:23:46 pm

I think these three items mean in modern life we don’t read as much as we really should. Some similarities are that they all talk about knowledge, reading, and modern electronics. They all say that our society is more about electronics and memes than reading and gaining personal knowledge.

Dillon

10/10/2018 01:25:55 pm

I agree. They say we’re too worried about technology and not reading.

Miriam

10/10/2018 01:23:52 pm

They are all implying that our society is going down hill educationally.

Brooke

10/10/2018 01:30:53 pm

I agree with you that we are going downhill educational. That technology has done great things for us but it’s screwing us up also

Taylee Matthews

10/10/2018 01:34:42 pm

Agree Miriam

Dillon

10/10/2018 01:23:58 pm

The quote is saying that you can destroy a culture if people don’t read. The picture is showing how people evolve by reading and writing. If someone from the 1950s appeared today they would not understand the technology. They all show how important technology is to our society. We sometimes use technology for dumb stuff.

Eli

10/10/2018 01:26:39 pm

I like your point of view.

Avery

10/10/2018 01:26:54 pm

I agree!

Lani Belgarde

10/10/2018 01:24:04 pm

One talks about books and the other talks about phones both of which hold all the information and knowledge humans have acquired and both of these things critiqued our society by giving everyone every piece of knowledge at the our fingertips.

Jaicei

10/10/2018 01:30:32 pm

I agree good job

Will

10/10/2018 01:25:20 pm

As human beings we are drawn toward technology and the power it holds. These all share one big idea, and it is knowledge. They are all saying that are society is getting more attached to our phones.

Faith

10/10/2018 01:30:36 pm

I agree completely

Preston

10/10/2018 01:25:30 pm

The quote is saying that in you don’t have to just get rid of things to destroy a culture, just lose interest. The picture suggests all of are technology lead us to sitting on a computer all day. The screenshot is saying it’s crazy to say that we devices that hold all of the worlds info. The similarities are that they all are saying it’s crazy technology led up to this. There critiquing that technology has possibly not led to what we thought.

Emma Dahle

10/10/2018 01:33:42 pm

That’s true, you don’t have to get rid of things to destroy a culture.

Eli

10/10/2018 01:25:55 pm

The quote is saying that if you try to just get rid of something people wouldn’t agree but if gradually have people stop things will change. Just like the picture we gradually went from hard working men to sitting on a chair naked looking at a computer. The screen shot is similar because it shows how are society has changed to technology.

Dillon

10/10/2018 01:27:00 pm

I agree. Too many people sit in chairs naked.

Taija

10/10/2018 01:26:12 pm

They are talking about how we are to attached to the internet and that’s the only thing we worry about.

BRooke

10/10/2018 01:28:47 pm

All three of these mean that our society doesn’t do anything anymore that they rely on technology. The 1950 things shows that how our world has changed and it would be so hard for them to understand

Faith

10/10/2018 01:30:06 pm

I like that

Miriam

10/10/2018 01:31:03 pm

So true

Faith

10/10/2018 01:29:34 pm

The quote isn’t saying that the cultures are gonna go away if we stop reading them. The picture is saying that we’ve changed a lot throughout history but we’ve only accomplished staring at a screen. The photo is saying that we’ve got all this amazing things in our hands but we don’t use it very well. There are saying we don’t use are stuff very well. Are society is just addicted to our screens for the wrong reason.

Miriam

10/10/2018 01:31:41 pm

I love your point of view

Brooke

10/10/2018 01:34:24 pm

I agree that our society is so focused on the screen they don’t know what’s actually happening outside in the world around them

Emma Dahle

10/10/2018 01:31:13 pm

The quote is discussing that you can’t stop people from just reading you have to change their minds and opinions about about the subject they are reading about. The screenshot explains how crazy it is that we have one device to control a lot more and is capable of ton comepared to back then. The picture says that we have involved into sitting on a computer all day. The similarities between all three is they tell how everything has changed. A critique I would make is that we don’t use as much electronics because it can always turn bad.

Chayla Slavin

10/10/2018 01:33:59 pm

The quote, the screenshot and the picture all discuss the fact that technology has become a part of our lifestyle. We as a society are reading books less and less. In my opinion it is not a good thing, because screens limit imagination and creativity.

Taylee Matthews

10/10/2018 01:40:18 pm

The quote is saying that our cultures are shrinking and we are loosing them. The picture is saying we know a lot of knowledge but we aren’t using it too wisely. The photo is saying we don’t use it very well either. All together it shows our society is going downhill

Taija

12/17/2018 01:40:42 pm

It means we are evolving. Only relying on our phones. Not living our lives to the fullest.
