For example on paragraph 8 it says that "most people check their phones 150 times per day and send 110 text messages". Another example is that "46 percent of people can't live without their phone". That what I think about this topic.  ]]> 2019-08-13 19:04:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384015 Cat https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384017 The artists is telling us that people are now just kid of being on their phones just like they are putting it on their faces.
They are trying to say that people now in days are just having their faces stuck on their phones and not looking away from it. And what they are trying to say from our society today is that like I said are just having their faces on their phones, and are just not looking and what is really going on their lives  or in other peoples lives too. "People walking down the street with eyes on their phones, bumping into others, tripping over or crashing into obstacles.]]> 2019-08-13 19:04:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384017 https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384054 The artist intentions were to show us that people focus on their phones instead of whats happening in real life. They wanted to tell us to stop for a minute, and look around us. The rest of the world is more worth living and enjoying than the fake world on your phone. "It's the connections to other human beings-- real-life connections, not digital ones -- that nourish us and make us feel like we count. Our presence, our full attention is the most important thing we can give each other. Digital communications don't result in deeper connections, in feeling loved and supported."]]> 2019-08-13 19:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384054 https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384339 1. The artist intentions are to show how smartphones can almost attack at us and ruin our lives
2. The artist is trying to say that cell phones are like robots clinging onto our face and ruining our lives and attacking us, this can eventually hurt humanity very badly if we just rely on technology because what if there is a huge global network/server crash what do we do then?

"the near-universal access to digital technology... is transforming modern society in ways that can have negative effects on physical and mental health, neurological development and personal relationships,"]]> 2019-08-13 19:06:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384339 https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384364 The artist intentions that are shown is How phones can be helpful and some can be harmful for people

what they are trying to say about cellphones and our society today is that people have been using their phones a lot and not having a break to spend time outside and spending time with family and friends.People usually take a break on their phones to calm their mind and spend more time doing stuff. For example, reading a book, going outside, riding bikes and etc. When people spend too much time on their phones, they usually have a bad attitude and don't listen if they are watching or seeing stuff that they are not suppose to see. People sometimes text their friends and sometimes have a arguement, or drama about stuff. people need to take a break off their phones so they can have a life and some people only go on their phones in case of emergencies, or if they need anything from their parents. Some Teenagers use their phones a lot to see social media, Instagram, and etc. some Social medias have like ads that people don't really care but some ads can be bad and people wouldn't want to see what it is. Another thing why Phones can be harmful is because people don't really pay attention of what they are doing and where they are going. For example, Parents sometimes text and drive at the same time and they don't really pay attention to the rode, and that's when Car accidents starts. People sometimes pay attention to their phones while they are walking and not looking. people in crosswalks don't pay attention when cars move to make a right or left turn, that's when people get injured and don't pay attention to something.]]> 2019-08-13 19:06:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384364 https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384457 The artist intentions in this picture is when we're on our smartphones we tend to forget/cancel out what's happening in the reality.
In the text it states, "46 percent of smartphone users now say that their devices are something they 'couldn't live without." This should just show you how many people are addicted to their phone. Also, since this article was published about 2 years ago think of how much that 46 percent has changed. ]]> 2019-08-13 19:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384457 The artist is expressing that phones are separating and distancing us from our families, friends, and the moments of life that are so priceless and important. Such as real conversations at the dinner table, laughter, and sharing stories. In the article the author claims that "the future doesn't look bright for humanity", and it is shown in this picture that instead of having regular conversations at the dinner table everyone is just consumed from their phones. https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384473 2019-08-13 19:07:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384473 Angel https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384476 1. The artist's intention was to show us how addicted we are to our phones.
2.The artist is trying to say that today's society will take a selfie of everything no matter what.

What are they trying to say? They are trying to say that we should enjoy whats happening in front of us instead of on our phones.
"Shoppers and commuters standing in line, people crossing busy streets, even cyclists and drivers whose eyes are on their phones instead of their surroundings."]]> 2019-08-13 19:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384530 Evan https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384572 The artist's intentions was to tell people what they are missing out on and that they should be enjoying  the life around them. The artist is trying to tell us to pay attention to the world around us and spend less time on our phones and on social media. "The near-universal access to digital technology, starting at ever-younger ages, is transforming modern society in ways that can have negative effects on physical and mental health."]]> 2019-08-13 19:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384572 joel https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384586 the author wanted to show that your attached to your phone.

For example in the second picture this artist shows that these people who are glued to their phones are in a famous museum in Paris, this is where the Mona Lisa is held. They are so distracted with their phones that it even seems like their phones are controlling them rather than they're controlling their phones. In the text it states "we are spending far too much of out time doing things that don't really matter to us." I think that speaks a lot about our generation. We tend to put our phones on a pedestal above everything else we can experience in life. Much like how the artist shows how people are in a museum in Paris that many people have wanted to travel to for years but they put their phones on a higher pedestal than a world famous experience. ]]> 2019-08-13 19:08:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384634 Visual Literacy: How are Smartphones impacting our world today? https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384647 1. I think the artist's intention in creating this picture is to explain to us how technology is such a harmful and addicting. I also think the artist made this picture to explain that technology is like taking a drug cause you won't stop taking it as soon as you take it like technology as soon as you get on it you can't get off it. Technology is even affecting younger kids and it also affects a lot of adults and are addicted to technology.]]> 2019-08-13 19:08:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jwest60/y71lrltx5k22/wish/374384647 The artists intention was to show that people are glued to their phones. People are on their phones too much and they don't know their surroundings and get injured.

2.I think they are trying to say about cell phones in today's society is that we're on our phones too much during the day and not spending enough time with friends and family.
