Societies Interface: simplicity vs. complexity

A story can be told many different ways, from an oral presentation, to a novel written by a famous author. In today’s society technology has rendered it possible to view stories that were unimaginable in the past. The idea of interface expressed by the video mirrors that of a science fiction movie, with the abstract nature of the abyss at ones finger tips. Looking at the sms phone messages from Amsterdam reveals much about humanity and the city of Amsterdam. The areas where the lights were less eminent cause one to infer that area is poor in the cities realm. Each person has their own thoughts and representation of humanity, so interface allows these inner thoughts to be expressed and compared to the rest of the world. Individuality manifests solidarity in the realm of interface because each person’s thoughts can be connected in an interface/online video. Technology today can help revive past legends such as Johnny Cash like the video presented by the orator. Today’s world is very different from the world that our ancestors lived in, which can be expressed through the different mediums that defined humanity. The airplane route interface revealed how interconnected society has become due to technological advances to society. When I first saw the vastness and number of different airplanes traveling the United States alone, I realized the interworking complexity of interface. Going back to the Johnny Cash music video, one sees how the complexity of interface superimposes a mellifluous music video. Too many, simplicity means nothing in today’s society, but I view the dichotomy between simplicity and complexity as compliments of each other. Meaning that even though a certain concept might seem extremely complex, the inner workings of that concept are made up of simple ideas.
