Technology that saves us from technology....

When it comes to the attempt to immortalize our selves using technology we are able to start with pen to paper. Our handwriting, ideas, and thought patterns are represented with symbols and material. While striving to immortalize ourselves we are more so placing a higher dependency and personal value on technology.

We recognize the problems that technology has presented and with this, we look for a source of technology that can save us from the burdens of technology.

Above I have posted a link to a commercial that I have been seeing all over TV. I think it unintentionally poses an extremely evident theme within augmented reality that I have just summarized.

This applies greatly to the desire to immortalize ourselves. Now our personal hand held devices are means for taking and posting pictures to Facebook and blogging on Twitter. We text and exchange personal information. We have been striving to make the concept of immortality arise from the tips of our fingers. It is difficult for us to see this with the current application of our technology, but when we are able to look at a broader direction we can see the underlying motive that we have been describing in this project.

  1. I have commented on Sarah's blog post which hold significant reference and support to what I have posted about in "tech that saves us from tech...". There is very strong idea that is being generated within this blog that is relating to what the class lesson is searching for in the attempt to analyze augmented realities.
