Assignment 4

View the animate video Are you past oriented or future oriented. 

In at least 3-5 sentences answer the following questions.

1. Discuss what the main idea of the video is?
 
The main idea of this video is to show that technology is becoming a bigger part of our lives. It is distracting us from the importance of life which is family and values.

 2. Do you see yourself as past oriented or future oriented? Why?
 
I see myself as a little bit of both. I am partly past but at the same time I am very concentrated on my future. This due to the fact that my family is very important to me, but at the same time my career is to.

 3. Do you agree or disagree with the speaker in the video? Explain why?
 
I agree with the speaker, we should concentrate more on family and values, and less on materialistic things. The speaker is correct because we are getting overflown with technology, we must concentrate on the real importance of life.

 4. Do you agree with the speaker's view that young adults' minds are being "digitally rewired"?
Explain your answer.
This is true because, nowadays most young adults can't communicate properly without a laptop or any other technological device. We must learn how to communicate verbally with each other so we won't let technology take over our lives.

 5. Why does the narrator in the video argue that young people dislike a single-function device such as a wristwatch? 
 
Because young people believe that single function devices are useless, since nowadays there are devices that include that function and more.
