Technologies.

The different technologies or changing ideas that pop up in my mind would be the everyday items I use. For example the main items I use daily are my laptop computer, cellphone and ipod. Also other things that I used back when I was home was my car. I think that it was the item I used mainly and I was thinking that my car would be the main item I would focus on changing. For example my vehicle releases so many gases that harm the enviroment I feel as if we should focus on making the car have a more efficient way of working without harming the enviroment.

Farenheit 451.

For the movie choice I chose to watch Farenheit 451. It was movie about a man named Montague who worked as a fireman. It is not the kind of fireman that we are usually familiar with seeing because instead of them putting out fires they were the ones making them. It dealt with a kind of apocalyptic theme because everyone in the society was not allowed to read books. If anyone was found reading their books would be burned and they would be taken in as criminals. The main character Montague starts off as a faithful fireman and is even expecting a promotion from his boss. But one day a lady named Clarisse approaches him on the train questioning him on whether he ever read the books that he was burning. He one day picks up a book and starts reading and his whole outlook on everything seems to change. His wife notices that he is acting different and one day catches him reading books at the kitchen table late at night. She doesn't understand and soon turns him in. After Montague realizes he doesn't want to be a fireman anymore he goes to his boss to reveal the news and his boss says "Come with us one last time and you can do whatever as you please." So Montague goes with his crew for one last bust but they end up in front of his house. They remove all the books from his house and egg Montague on to burn them all. In the process of Montague burning the books he ends up killing his boss also. Earlier in the movie Clarisse had fled because she was turned in also and before she left she had told Montague to come to the end of the river and there would be other people like them that loved reading books. So after Montague had killed his boss he was on the run from everyone in his town. So he took a boat down the river and ends up in the forest where he finds a group of people. He learns that his town had "caught" him but it was just a T.V. stunt so that the people wouldn't get bored. Now that noone will be looking for him he learns that these group of people read books and memorize them. After memorizing them they destroy the books so noone can trace them. Montague had finally found his place.

I actually thought this movie was very well done. The effects and everything were not up to date but of course seeing as it was a 1960's flm it was very well done. I thought the overall story was very interesting and very well put together. I am not usually into old movies and I was skeptical at first but once the movie started picking up a bit with its storyline I definitely recognized what was going on. I also thought the title was neat, because they said that Farenheit 451 is the level of temperature that books burn. I came in thinking that this movie was going to be about a deserted land that was destroyed by a natural disaster but it turned out to be something totally different which is good! I thought it was good that I watched something that didn't seem to be in the "norm" of post apocalyptic movies.

Objectified.

After finishing the documentary I found a lot of things interesting and that seemed to stand out to me. For instance when they showed the first prototype of the laptop I was surprised how they put so much detail into the physical aspect such as if a pen got stuck in the crack what would they do? So it was interesting to see that even though it was the first laptop the makers were still thinking of different ideas to put into the laptop to make it more sufficient for its users. 
Another interesting thing I saw was how much time and effort the designers go through to look over a product and examine everything about the current product they are trying to "upgrade". For example in one of the scenes it showed all the different types of toothbrushes sitting on the table. 
Last thing I saw that intrigued me was how simple things like a vacuum are being made so that they are capable of being on display because of how good they look. It's interesting to see the advancement from just a regular vacuum to being able to have it sit on  your counter like it's there on display.  
Overall I thought the documentary was very interesting and I loved how they showed all the different aspects from different people around the world. 

Explaining a scene in Blade Runner.

The scene that I found most interesting to me was the scene of where Roy Baty is fighting Deckard. As soon as Roy was about to die he saved Deckard from falling to his death. After he had saved him he goes on to explain as an android he has seen so much in his short life. He then releases a dove into the air and Deckard sees the bright blue sky before him and then Roy dies in front of him. It definitely shows that their is some sort of connection between Deckard and Roy due to the fact that he did indeed save him from his death. This maybe suggests that Deckard is also an android but does not technically prove it. Overall I thought it was a good, thought provoking scene that added a good dramatization in with the dove. Represented something which made you sit and ponder more about this movie.
