TED Talk Description

Alicia Nealon questions whether the technology of cell phones has created a wider mode of seeing or if it has limited visual expression.

Ted Talk: Final Porject Ideas

"My Cell Phone Is My Life!"-- What does that mean? How has this seemingly new technology so quickly and effectively consumed modern society.

Guilty of the above statement, for my final project I want to explore how my generation has so blindly and unanimously submitted to the wireless world of technology.

Boasting calendars, texting, internet, email, photos, and video, cell phones condense our lives into encoded messages and images. Is this merely a trendy fad destined to go out of style with the next generation, or is this the seed of a new wireless community meant only to grow and spread with each new upgrade, each new phone model???
