Avrom and Bubbe response to Richard Arkule

A response to Richard Arkule. It is interesting how you mention that you had to stop watching the film after the second segment due to everything being banal. Does this have to do with the over stimulus of technology in society today? That you feel that the film just does not add anything to the technological discussion. I have managed to survey others that have mentioned how the film has it's high and it's low points but to be declared banal is reaching. As far as tech movies go if it was just focused on one part of technology and seeing how our general society is today. The major accomplishment of this documentary was the ability to recognize that if you are making a movie about technology to be open to allowing others in the tech universe the opportunity to participate instead of providing that after the movie has already completed. The movie took a real risk deciding to reach out and based upon video submissions to actually choose to include a bunch of others including the one that spoke about how he deleted people on facebook as an act of dealing with a relationship issues as portrayed in this clip. Many stories and memories that may not have been otherwise captured to emphasize this new frontier we are growing up in with constant gold rushes as new technology becomes available.

Many colleges and universities are going to study this topic and recognize as a historical account of where we were in society during the year of 2010. By collecting these images we can see where we went right or possibly even where we went wrong and learning from the past is always important otherwise we are doomed to repeat it. This is why if you watched the whole movie I could understand your argument otherwise if you don't have the patience to sit it out. (and yes even I admit that the war part of the movie was tough to watch.) Then you can have sound arguments as to why the whole movie was worth turning off prematurely.
