We as in people, have a tendency of retrieving our cameras/phones to take pictures and videos when we’ve arrive to different social events; such as, concerts, firework shows, dolphin shows, plays, etc. However, when we do exhibit behaviors like such, do we lose the sole purpose of attending these events to begin with; or in doing so it serves to us as a momentum for future viewing purposes? I know personally I am guilty of doing this when I go to concerts, I would constantly post videos and or pictures on snapchat- a social media app where people take videos and pictures to share with others; and, in doing so, I would miss the little things during the show, which did provide many people with a more moving experience, but because I had to retrieve …show more content…
For example, in Paumgarten article there is the story about the bike rider named Chase, who was sponsored by a company that made camera’s that would take shots that a normal camera could not. He was in the process of riding down a meadow when he looked off to his side, and there was a herd of elks riding beside him, unfortunately his go pros weren’t rolling, which was unusual for chase because he always had them on, but when he came to realize they were not on, it was as if the beauty of the elks being at arm’s length did not even matter and all he was concerned about was taking the shot because it would make a superb commercial shot, therefore it would serve as proof that he indeed rode with the elks which is a rare once in a life time moment. This is a perfect example to argue that some people truly do miss out on taking in an experience. Chase surly did, he was too focused on trying to video tape the moment rather than living it up for himself. Consequently, one might ask “why does it matter, that one is 100 percent vigilant during these moments? In response, I would answer with a question and an answer that would layout out in this format. - When is just being present during an event ever enough? When some is truly entuned it allows them to become
Police Body Cameras Due to devastating events that have occurred between policemen and civilians, law enforcements find it liable for police officers to be fitted with body cameras. In doing so it is thought to bring an increase in trust in the community, reduce brutality and crime, as well as elucidate good cops still around. I feel body cameras will bring more awareness to police departments when it comes to the honesty in their staff’s actions when they are unsupervised. They can be used as hard evidence in courtrooms, to help make the correct judgment on the situation in question.
In the years between 1933 and 1945, Germany was engulfed by the rise of a powerful new regime and the eventual spoils of war. During this period, Hitler's quest for racial purification turned Germany not only at odds with itself, but with the rest of the world. Photography as an art and as a business became a regulated and potent force in the fight for Aryan domination, Nazi influence, and anti-Semitism. Whether such images were used to promote Nazi ideology, document the Holocaust, or scare Germany's citizens into accepting their own changing country, the effect of this photography provides enormous insight into the true stories and lives of the people most affected by Hitler's racism. In fact, this photography has become so widespread in our understanding and teaching of the Holocaust that often other factors involved in the Nazi's racial policy have been undervalued in our history textbooks-especially the attempt by Nazi Germany to establish the Nordic Aryans as a master race through the Lebensborn experiment, a breeding and adoption program designed to eliminate racial imperfections.
It allows you to see the world in a better light. I believe that Anil Dash’s “joy of missing out” is mostly related to this idea. This phrase describes a person that enjoys watching others have a good time. Although they can do the same, they choose not to because they are involved in the life they placed in their phones. Caterina Fake’s ‘fear of missing out” may be the opposite of the “joy of missing out”, but they are still relative to the same idea. This term refers to a person that goes on social media, sees what someone else is doing, and realizes that it is something they haven’t done, or probably never heard of. Having a bright screen in your face all day can disconnect you from seeing what the world has to offer. The only difference between the two terms is emotion. One involves a person being happy of where they stand, and the other involves a person scared of what they’re doing, or haven’t done in their
The article also talks about how we immediately pick up our phones. I have witnessed this happen at a concert before. In which the performers were trying to hype up the crowd but instead of everyone going along with it and dancing, people stood still phone in hand recording instead. I believe that smartphones have also caused people to lack the ability to live in the moment.
Viewers get a chance to realize the ‘I wish I'd said that’ dream.” The fourth cornerstone of Candid Camera is showing how people deal with surprise—for instance, the appearance of Muhammad Ali in the classroom or a skydiver crashing through the ceiling of an office
For instance, if the audience were to just analyze the picture a little more closely they can see what the photographer is trying to demonstrate to them. By
There have been lots of modern technologies introduced in the United States of America to assist law enforcement agencies with crime prevention. But the use of body-worn cameras by police personnel brings about many unanswered questions and debate. Rising questions about the use of body cam are from concern citizens and law enforcement personnel. In this present day America, the use body cameras by all law enforcement personnel and agencies are one of the controversial topics being discussed on a daily base. Body worn cameras were adopted due to the alleged police brutality cases: for instance, the case of Michael Brown, an African-American who was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, on August 2014, Eric Garner died as a result of being put in a chokehold by a New York police officer, and John Crawford, shot and killed by a police officer at a Walmart in Beavercreek, Ohio.
If we stay so wrapped up in technology we can miss very important things that are happening around us.In the article “Can the Selfie Generation Unplug and Get into Parks?” Jonathan Jarvis says that “young people are more separated from the natural world than perhaps any generation before
Everyone is entitled to privacy when it comes to law enforcement. To make the public, and the officers protecting them, feel protected, the implementation of new technology in the police force has occurred. Sometimes, this equipment backfires and ends up doing more harm than the good that it promised. When this occurs, a revaluation of what is going on should happen to make sure improvements are made. As shown by the recent privacy violations to the Round Lake Police Department regarding body-worn-cameras, officers need to become more familiar with the technology they are using and stricter policies about their use are necessary to ensure the equipment is working properly.
There are times when people watching can be the most exciting thing ever. Whether that’s sitting at a coffee shop and taking in the view around you. Silently watching those as they go about their life not realizing that a college student is watching their every move. There are times when one might find themselves in the park, sitting on a bench and wondering what that couple on the other side could possibly be arguing about. People watching though entertaining at times, can have its challenges as well. Sometimes the distance might prohibit us to hear what is actually going on. Other times there are hindrances such as way too much going on around our surroundings. Yet, there seems to still be one thing that continues to persist, and that’s the
Mental illness can be defined as a variety of disorders within the brain that can affect an individual’s mood, way of thinking and behaviour. These illnesses are caused by biological, psychological and sociological influences. Mental illnesses have become more prominent throughout communities while the seeking for help or a cure has appeared to become less evident. In today’s society, mental illnesses are portrayed through various media platforms in a way that causes such a stigma around the illness that it affects those who suffer almost as much as the illness itself.
There you are holding your camera an arm’s length away from your face, posing in the most flattering position to capture your best angle. There you are taking a photo of yourself to share with all of your Facebook friends. Taking a self-portrait photo, also known as a selfie, is something almost everyone has done in this new generation. This action is typically done without a second thought. In Alex Williams’ article “Here I Am Taking My Own Picture” that second thought is provoked through exploring the quickly spreading trend of self-portrait photography. In the article while Williams’ provides interesting examples on a changing generation as this trend progresses through social media and modern technology; Williams also leaves something to be desired within the article due to a lack of direction in the author’s stance on the topic.
The theory of photography originated from the discovery of the camera obscura phenomenon – light that enters a darkened chamber through a small hole is projects an identical inverted image on the interior wall of the outside scene. The first recordings of scientists recognizing this concept was in the writings of Greek philosopher, Aristotle (384 – 322 BC).
