Part B - Ideas

WWW

• Research into topic

• Ideas for episodes

• Included a recent article

EBI

• More images

• More research

• Episode ideas better thought out

Strongest idea

society depending on technology as it would be easy to gain statistics and opinions on this subject because the increasing use of technology is a contemporary issue. This idea was also good as it relates to the concept of postmodernism.

AND SOCIETY.

Part C - Idea taking forward

Part C - Idea taking forward

We‟ve spoken to our teacher

about the whole combination

of topics, however as we

thought, it was a bit too

much topic in one.

So we decided to focus on one

topic to go on further which

was The Technology

Dependence.

Developed Idea – The evolution of technology

Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3

•The evolution of

computers

•Development of

games

•The evolution of

phones

The Story of film: An Odyssey

Try to recreate the shots in their

way

- Compares with other text

and explains with examples

- Text to know where its

from

Part D - Documentary inspirations

Inspirational Documentaries

Large Hadron Collider – The six billion dollar experiment

Included clips relating to the film at the

beginning (exposition)

Jamie’s American

Food Revolution

Hunting Britain's Most Wanted

Exposition

and propsUsed simple

titles

Part D - Documentary inspirations

Film documentary - Secret Life of Chaos

What inspired me was the use of “montage” in the

documentary.

For example – these two

screenshots – as the narration

was going – there was a

montage over it – showing from

the light changing to the sea –

and it was in synched with the

narration.

Showing a quick ideational montage, whilst

the presenter is narrating the purpose of the

documentary at the start. This little

animation at the first minute of the

documentary was my favourite, as it

symbolises our mind.

In the “Slanguage”

documentary last year

they used graphs and

charts to show statistics

and trends which is

something that could be

useful in our

documentary.

The voice of God narration in March of the

Penguins was very effective and is

something that might/could be used in our

documentary.

Part E - Research

Good Effects:• Following instructions• Problem solving and logic • Hand-eye coordination, fine motor and spatial skills.• Resource management and logistics.• Multitasking, simultaneous tracking of many shifting

variables and managing multiple objectives.• Perseverance• Pattern recognition• Estimating skills• Inductive reasoning and hypothesis testing • Mapping • Memory• Reasoned judgments• Teamwork and cooperation when played with others• Simulation, real world skills.

Bad Effects:

• Violence – bad language and behaviour

• Socially isolated

• Not exercise imagination

• Confuse reality with fantasy

• Bad academic achievement

• Bad effect on health e.g. obesity, seizures, Muscular

and skeletal disorder, RSI

• Addictive – depression and anxiety

Part E - Research Evolution of Phones

1983 – 1st

Generation –

First

introduced by

the Motorola

Company.

Used analog

technology, and

sized of a large

briefcase.

1990 – 2nd

Generation -

was faster

and quieter

than 1G.

Smaller than

the large

briefcase-

sized.

Smaller

batteries are

more energy-

efficient.

2009 - 3rd

Generation -

may be like

2G, but it is able

to transfer other

types of

data, including

emails, informati

on and instant

messages.

2010 - 4th Generation

- Includes a

combination of

technologies that will

make information

transfer and internet

capabilities faster.

Part E - Research

• Evolution of Computers.

Computer, originally meant a person capable of performing

numerical calculations with the help of a mechanical

computing device.

Binary arithmetic is at the core of computer systems.

This is a Binary

Code.

Part E - Research• First generation

computers -1950s all computers that were used were vacuum tube based. Computers were expensive and bulky. Could solve just one problem at a time.

VACUUM

TUBE -

2nd Generation -

1960s, transistor

based computers

replaced 1G.

Transistors made

computers

smaller and

cheaper. They

made computers

energy efficient.

EXAMPLES OF

TRANSISTORS

3rd generation -

Their use

increased the

speed and

efficiency of

computers.

Fourth

generation

computers.

Even faster –

capable of more

calculations per

second.

Much more

computer power

and speed than

other

generations

The fifth

generation

computers are

in their

development

phase.

Has support voice

recognition and

understand

natural

language.

The evolution of

computers will

continue, perhap

s till the day

their processing

powers equal

human

intelligence.

Risks of TechnologyThe advance of technology has brought a lot of different ways

to do things, like online shopping and availability of the

internet on mobile phones. However it has also brought risks

and dangers as well.

Credit card fraud: its now possible for

people to use the internet (or other

forms of technology) to hack into

someone else's accounts because people

use the credit/debit cards to shop online

nowadays.

Chat rooms

According to this article people are

unaware of what legal harm they are doing

by posting certain tweets on twitter. E.g.- in

the summer when many young people

posted details about the riots and twitter

users that went against court orders and

posted the identities of celebrities that got

injunctions to protect their private lives.

Social networking sites mean

that a lot of your information is

being put all over the internet

and this can be dangerous

because you don't always know

who is viewing your webpages.

Video games have their

dangers as well:

This article tells us about a

boy who developed a blood

clot in his leg after spending

an entire day playing video

games.

This article informs us about a boy

who shot his parents because they

took his video game away and

banned him from playing it.

• Private information being shared and exposed e.g. addresses and phone numbers

• Scams, viruses and spam. – Easier to spot potential victims

• Cyber bullying

• Security breaches and hacking.

• Negative influences e.g. Grand Theft Auto games leading to violence.

• Anti social society

• Machines replacing people e.g. self scanners in supermarkets

• Hard to trace criminal activity i.e. August riots spreading blamed on Blackberry

Messenger and Twitter
