Blogs are quite the amazing thing. Me, a student in a high school can post things here people anywhere in the world can see. This is ridiculous. This wasn't even conceived as possible one hundred years ago. But today millions of people blog everyday. Never mind ranting about blogging, just look at the internet! I can learn any language, watch any movie, read any book all in one chair. This innovation of technology is really taken for granted by today's youth though. This ridiculously huge outlet to information at our fingertips is amazing, and i think a lot of us would be lost without it. Which is kind of sad really; now we have a whole race of beings dependant on the things they created. Kind of sounds like a religion story no? Either way today's technology and the potential for more technology is mind boggling. Like right now you might be wondering why I added this picture to the blog post. I haven't mentioned it yet, it has relevance to my point though, can you see it? Humans today are growing up with machines. Machines and gadgets are a kid's new best friend, who needs a dog? Can you're dog play music, surf the web, stream movies, and calculate tips? I didn't think so. Humans today are simply born with it, it's a part of us. Thirty years ago almost none of what we had today existed, but yet it's as if it's always been here. We're growing up in a sick time. Where every human has become detached from humanity. An average person might look at the screen of their phone texting collectively a half-hour to an hour a day. Thats twelve straight days of texting a year. All of this time spent staring at the same individual 3x4' screen. People need to snap out of this dependency.
This page is gonna show my various pieces of work and different things i do at school. I am so great.

Dependency

Whad Up, Johnson
Okay so my name is Dawson B (AKA Bossmans). Cyber Arts is something that i don't involve a lot of my personal efforts in. I love the class, I enjoy the doing the work, it's a really nice change to the usual work we do in school. But still to an extent work is work and not everything is hop-to happy-go-lucky with me. If anything were to be my "favourite" in this class (favourite would intail that I actually enjoy doing it, which doesn't always happen in school, because education does not chase student desire, it chases teaching needs) it would be more along the lines of animation, always from the tech-portion of the class. If I were to explain "who" I am without relevance to school or education I would tell you that I am a stubborn, teen-ager who thinks I'm always right. I have my very own distinct beliefs about the world and stand by them like a religion, this is also portrayed in my attitude. If I don't agree with you I won't listen, If i think you are of lesser mind, your words are empty. These attitudes sometimes get me in trouble but I stand by them, because after all they make "me", and I stand by me.
