LFYT midterm

A few things bothered me about this video. 1: What's wrong with a predisposition to shiny objects? Author seemed pretty condescending on that topic. If that's an audience you want to convert, learn to talk to them and not down to them. 2: Text was moving way too fast. You'd need to keep flashing shiny objects near the bottom to keep me on track.

I meant: cannot transport critical thoughT.

This is pretty cool, in that it shows the limitations of youtube and image culture perfectly - while 'reading' your video, I thought: damn, do you have a transcript somewhere? So maybe Adorno is right: Images cannot transport critical though (Postman said that was well, but Adorno is the more consistent thinker).

TOUR # 1: EDUCATION. Maia plays with the destablization of the aural/visual binary by using her well-written words in a self-consciously "bad" video (it rolls too fast; it has no images) to illustrate the decline of the word on YouTube, and yet, how we still rely upon and need words, in long-form, within higher education. See aljean at wordpress dot com for more, or join the tour with your comments or video response. Be sure to label it as part of TOUR #1.

thnx for posting this stuff is legendary they dont make it like this anymore

Your strategy of a rolling text with gentle music is a good fr=irst step towards expressing your complex thought on/about Youtube. I want you to think video now, this one moves too fast, is too dense, what could you say with images and sounds instead of or in addition to text?
