Metaforas: Structure
As the times change, our technology will always be changing too. New computer, Tv`s, programs, systems will all emerge and we must be be able to adapt. Once we adapt we all need to be creative enough to use these new tools to the extent of their capabilities. We have always had a strugge with time and space. Time cannot be measured in physical tangible objects while space can. We can structure how we use our time and structure how we can manage space all the time. Thats how we create new things in the world, and manage to do things. As the the College example, they mangaged their time to design and observe how students want to walkon their campus, and then put that structure into the space or ground by putting down pathways. Measuring someones perspective is key when trying to improve orcreate anew object in order to get it right and fix the problem. The same goeswith Cyberspace to with how we created it by managing timeand space. Many artifacts are left behind to define past dynastiesspace and what they did during their time. Some say time is measured in intervals like past intervals of great dynasties while space is mediated and always recorded considering what happened in that space during that time. Fixed spaceis defined such as our own blog and how we can be creative in that space only, or what we have been given to work with. Taylorism was the idea to make workers use less motion or movement and less time in order to get the job done quicker andmake the worker less tired. Many laws and papers have been written over time by famous scientists such as Einstein, Newton, Gallileo, and challenged many theories held deep by thechurch showing how much they cared for time and space. Laws such as Law of Gravity, Relativity, and how the earth and every other planet revoloved around the sun were created. Music in the past was conducted overtime because we could not record it in a cyberspace like today. The music was dense and took time to digest and time to listen and feel the music unlike today where we know what we are going to get. Today we can record all of this music into various spaces that they never had in the past.
Do you think you manage your time well, and the space you choose manage it in?
How has the influence of time and space helped shape our world today?
Virtual Hunting
Wow I cant believe an actual website is up and running with the purpose of allowing people right on the internet to shoot at animals. Right now it is just target practice with nothing wrong going on, but still this man will allow people to shoot animals right over the internet. That doesnt sound ethical at all to me. I am not a fan of hunting to begin with, and now they might let this happen. There are a lot of endangered animals already in the world, and if this expands to many parts of the world then we might see massive killings of animals. If you are going to hunt wouldnt you rather go out there in the field and do it rather than just sit at home. People at home might not consider the what it is like to kill an animal and they wont feel any of the feelings of guilt once they do kill one. This can end up really bad for our country if this expands.
What are your feelings towards virtual hunting, do you believe it is ethical to do this?
Virtual Iraq
This is a good idea about how to cure PTSD because many people suffer from this and have no way of fixing their fears or stress. In my mind though, if you are going to show these people the situations they were in while fighting in the war, wouldnt that just make them worse than before. This machine like the guy said allows them to see whats going on, not allow them to fight, or seek revenge so it lets them think more about the situation and to see the good out of it. I guess if they see the good out the situation then it will make them feel better about what they did and it wont bother them anymore. If it helps people get over their fears and allows them live normal lives or even go back to fight like the man said then I am all for it because I respect what our soldiers do for us.
Do you believe that this virtual reality helps out our soldiers, and do you think it will spread out of San Diego to the whole United States?
