Lost In The World Like Me
What is the general premise of the video?
The premise of the video is to show how modern society is severely plagued by cellphones and social media. It shows people looking like zombies that cannot be separated from their cell phones.
Is the video effective in conveying it's intended message?
In my opinion, the video conveys the message fairly well. It serves as a melancholic representation of modern society and how we pay too much attention to what other people are doing, and not ourselves. Social media controls a monumental chunk of our society. The message is also about straying away from the crowd and being your own person and not following the herd.
Do you feel that this is more of a cautionary story (a warning) or more of an examination of our current social situation? Why?
I think this story could be interpreted as both a warning and as a magnifying glass onto our society. We definitely already have some aspects of this video in our society, but not to the hyperbolized extent of it. Certainly in our future we could progress to being the zombie-esque civilization, but that would likely never happen. The story serves as a good reminder to check back in on the real world and to not be consumed by the light from our screens.
