^^ I use a great Icon, Kobe Bryant who unfortunately passed away in January. His life in photographs allow us to remember him in our memories and all of his great ventures throughout his career. This is the product of photography and why it is so important for our own memories as well as others. In part 3 of unit 3, what I like about this is the transition from text to photos because it relates to how our technology and how media has gone from texts to photos and how they are in correlation with one another. The aspect of photography is so relevant that people have been getting paid a lot of money to do it over the years and even now getting paid millions to do so. Even with the apps we use, photography is something everyone does on a regular basis. When I say that photography has evolved, look at the apps such as Instagram and snapchat. It is all revolved around taking pictures and sending pictures to people. People will take pictures of food, take pictures of one another, ...

So, with the second part of unit 3. The idea of text has become so relevant in our lives because of one major aspect which is that everyone texts every single day. We have people who are young, middle-age and even older who are texting every single day. I have my grandfather texting me on a regular basis meanwhile years ago, he only ever used a flip phone. Times have changed but the main point is that texting has become a major part of everyone’s lives with the evolution of technology and phones. People would much rather text than speak on the phone, even posting a status, people are texting their status of how they feel onto social media. With the idea of texts also comes with the ideals of fonts and different types of ways to acquire attention for other people. For example, a lot of people who do YouTube or social media, if they have certain fonts that are different from the standard times new roman, it will gain attention of others such as the blow up font, different color ...

What I found interesting in unit 2 is that the idea of sensation and perception are linked together in the world. This pandemic has shown completely how sensation and perception are linked. For me personally, I’ve seen it firsthand as I try to explain to others the way things feel compared to the way I see, compared to the way they see it. When I speak about this, I mean about the idea of gyms and the idea of going to a park to play basketball. Of course, with the way the pandemic is, people will say that it’s not necessary to go out, or not necessary to go anywhere and I understand that. Even these last weeks a lot of people were fighting against the idea of going back to the gym and opening gyms and opening parks for that matter. The fact of the matter is, a lot of people also never had the sensation of going to a gym or to a park compared to those that wanted the parks open. For me personally I wanted gyms and parks to be open because it keeps me sane and the gym is like an outlet ...

Although in this week's class it was very quick and brief, what took my interest the most was the idea of Vision. John Medinaa's Rule #10 of the brain rule is that vision trumps all other senses. I believed it went deeper than that, and i could be wrong but it's how i would of taken it. Yes in general he explains that vision will help a person remember the information better or allow them to take it in better per say but i believe without vision, there is no goal and i don't mean the actual vision of sight. As going through the slides, it mentoned about how vision will allow one to see and better take in the information. In that case, vision goes along with imgaination correct? If you can see it, you can manifest it and create it is how the saying goes. So vision goes beyond just seeing a picture and taking in the information, vision allows for someone to have a goal and if they can see their goal it allows them to grow more as a person. Vision gives people reason, th...
