Lost in the World Response
1. What is the general premise of the video?
The general premise of the video is to showcase how society is too influenced by social media. The main message behind the video is that when people are on their phones too often, you lose social interaction, people become depressed, and no one is truly happy. The video goes to show how when everyone is on their phones, they lose connection between real people and real feelings, and that if you're not paying attention, you may lose many people that are important to you.
2. Is the video effective in conveying it's intended message?
Yes, the video is very effective in conveying it's message to the viewers. With many extreme outcomes shown and the emotions expressed by the main character, the viewer feels very compelled to change and use their phones less. The scenes that stood out to me the most were when the girl jumped off the building and when the people were walking right off the world. These scenes really showed how if people don't change their way of life, that many people will get hurt along the way and society will remain dependent on their technological interactions.
3. Do you feel that this is more of a cautionary story (a warning) or more of an examination of our current social situation? Why?
I feel like this is more of an examination of our current social situation. This is because today we already see effects of social media that were shown in the video. So, it was showing how people are sad and that when life is lived this way that no one can be truly happy. But, this video can also be seen as a bit of a cautionary story as well as an examination. This is because it displays how if we don't change this, that these bad things will continue to happen and society will continue to dive deeper and deeper into unhappiness.
