Koblin's Words of Wisdom.


Throughout the video, Aaron Koblin presents some interesting experiments that showed us something truly remarkable about human beings. Koblin showed us the many things that humans can succeed in and complete through data, research, and the digital media. Digital media gives humans the ability to be connected to the outside world in a way that makes them feel important. When they get the chance to do that, they have shown their innate ability to succeed. Koblin showed many examples of what people could do through digital media that proved that people could do an array of things while surfing the internet. Through silly and serious examples, Koblin described the many ways humans could contribute to digital media.
            The increase in technology and the opportunities that a human can take on the internet now gives people the chance connect to other people. Through art, music, pictures, and other types of entertainment and activities, people can connect in ways that could never happen without the internet. When browsing through these types of connections myself, you can see a lot into the human race as a whole. The things that you can find on the internet shows a creativity that I have never seen before and probably would have never seen without the internet.
            The experiment that I felt depicted the way that humans think through internet was the experiment where him and his friends took a dollar bill and cut it up into 10,000 TE pieces and fed them into the mechanical turk. After that, they gave people an opportunity to try to figure out what it is. They asked them to draw what they saw. Anything that anyone drew made it into the whole experiment. The images that people could conjure up showed how intelligent this world could be when they have no idea what they are doing at all.
