I always wondered why our generation was so different from the older ones. Why do people wish they were born in the 80s or 90s, or any time in the past? I realized that we have so many resources that have shaped our lives and will continue to affect our future. So why is this generation so lazy and shallow? My research was based on influencing the audience’s perspective, by including articles on past and present comparisons, as well as the technological benefits and disadvantages. What sparked my interest was frustration. How could people have the opportunity to be so connective and genuine but choose to be so materialistic, shallow, and complacent. My audience is for young adults and teenagers who always like to look at a screen. My purpose is to define our daily benefits for a different outlook and approach to our futures, to change the world for the better. It doesn’t have to be as monumental as making history, but awareness can lead to self correction and self benefit. Since you can’t control everyone, you can at least control yourself, and if everyone fixed their vices, the world would have been a dream. My cartoon piece is to take my analytical, monotonous research and apply it to a comical, simple storyline. Since our attention spans are limited, and our focus is drawn to visual presentations because of technology, I thought a comic would be fun to create and share, in addition to a creative process.
I think my project is doing fine, I’m working on my script because I’m organizing the plot of the story while trying to see what lines go on each slide, also trying to get an idea on what characters to use given on the site. My goal is for it to be witty yet informative. I was thinking a scenario comedy might be effective, or I could format it like the Wizard of Oz, how Dorothy’s adventure was just a dream, or that’s what she thinks. I’m working backwards starting with the ending first, so that it might be easier for a story.
Hi I love the fact you mention about how our generation has changed . Sometimes I ask myself the same thing when i see tik tok videos of teens wishing they were in the 80’s & 90’s because of how the world used to be . From what I have seen it is mostly about behaviors ( most of us don’t have anymore and Fashion . Let me tell you I did get quite confused when you stated of adding articles from the past and present , What type of topics will be covered by you ? A quotation that stands out to me is ‘I realized that we have so many resources that have shaped our lives and will continue to affect our future. because there are so many things that are advanced like social media platforms . The resources we have now are our FUTURE and key to success . But there are resources that play a negative role too
I like you talked about the difference between different generations. I think it’s because we are developing so fast. Those advances help us a lot but at the same time, it does some harm. With the development of the Internet, the negative effect of the Internet is getting bigger and bigger. I like you said “Since you can’t control everyone, you can at least control yourself, and if everyone fixed their vices, the world would have been a dream. ” This is a true thing that what should people behave.
