Rotunda (blog 11)

      After going down to the rotunda and looking at all the projects done by students I was intrigued by one done by Tristan Luccari, Mike Savino, Jake Hobbie, and Pat Minogue. It was a picture of a clock transforming into social media outlets, such as Twitter, Instagram, and messaging, being pulled on by a young boy on a mountain cliff. It is significantly deep because it represents what has become of our generation and what is becoming the norm for future generations. By having the the clock getting pulled by the boy it shows that by using social media it is taking away from our time and by putting them on a cliff it shows the danger of following social media. If the child continues to fight with the clock / social media he will be pulled off the edge to the abyss.
      This specific project stuck out to me because my group did something similar. We made a poster about the negative effects that social media can have on people and how it is possibly destroying many peoples self image. And by seeing another project that was projected towards how bad social media has become I thought that this must be a problem that more people see and understand. I believe that something has to be done to change social media or change how more people view it, this is becoming a major epidemic and must be fixed.
