This comic implies that the reason significant action has not been taken in the Flint crisis is the city is majority African-American. Especially at a time of such high racial tensions, this is a very controversial statement. I could "tech this up" by having a small mechanical thing operated by a motor that sprays a little bit of water. The water can be different qualities. Back up plan: LED's.

I think murdering animals is also murdering people.  This image is showing two foxes looking up at a fox who is dead and probably their family member.  This isn't right.  People say animals don't have feelings but how do they know?  If you were walking down the street and then a species bigger then you took your mom or dad, killed them, and then made them into a coat, what would you do?  How would you feel?  Wouldn't you be sad or mad?  What would you do about it?  Would you try to talk to the species who took your mom or dad and ask them why they did that?  But what if they couldn't understand you because you spoke a different language so they don't know what you're feeling?  That is how it feels with animals. Everyone should stop killing animals for eating, making clothes, testing, etc.   We could tech this up by using LED lights around the border to make it pop out..

This shows the stereo types girls and boys are expected to follow. For example, boys should love sports and video games while girls should love makeup and clothes. The society we live in today still continues to categorize girls and boys in these ways, but girls and boys should be able to be who they want and do what they want. To "tech it up", I would add LED lights to the biggest stereotypes and power it with a battery.

This picture shows one child working to try to move a heavy object when another child stands next to him with a toy. I believe the author is trying to convey the fact that child labor is a huge problem, yet many people are oblivious to it and continue with their daily lives. One way to "tech it up" could be to animate the picture. The animation could show the child on the left moving really slowly while the child on the left is acting normal.

This piece shows that what we see on the media may not always be true. Here, there is something going in in real life, but the media is making it look different. This can tell us that we should not always believe what the media is saying, and find out the information for ourselves. To "tech it up", I would maybe make the camera 3D with lights, and have the painting be of the two men. I would place the camera in front like it shows in the piece to recreate the art.

This piece of art is about saving the environment and it is showing us that the world is in our hands and we are the ones that have to fix it. It is also showing us that we should care for our earth because we live on it. The plant on top of the Earth shows we have to help the Earth grow as well with our love for the Earth, represented by the heart. I could tech this up by adding LED's to the background colors to enhance it and I could put the Earth on a rotating axis to make it more realistic.

This image is about how animals are tested and abused on and how people should stand up against it. I would add technology to this piece by creating a circle of LED's around the animal to show the importance about the animal in the poster and to attract more attention to the poster as a whole. I would also add texture (maybe 3D printing) to the dog in the center of the poster to make the dog pop out at you and become more apparent.
