• Primary Blog Question
  • When compared, the two film clips help illuminate a key question for this course: How has our relationship to technology changed over time?

Our relationship to technology changed the ways through which we perceive literacy. Literacy in the new media age is becoming associated to multimodality. In this sense, the conceptualization of literacy is no longer associated to reading and writing, but to being able to take ownership of one’s learning, and further to make meanings while interacting meaningfully to construct knowledge, while recognizing the relationships among the different modes of learning.

• Secondary Blog Questions
• How has film technology changed?
• The first movie was presenting the basic idea of the time machine. The time machine they had can be seen as both, a car and a ship. The movie director tend to focus on the actors and the dialogue in order to get the attention of the viewers. The second movie is very advanced in the technique of acting, filming and the technicality used to build the time machine and filming.
• How have we changed as film viewers?
• I liked that the second movie made me think beyond the idea of the time machine. The actor will not be able to change the destiny of his fiancé but he can see her going 1000 times.
• How has our understanding of time evolved?
• How does fiction/science fiction impact our relationship to technology?
