Toward a New Future of Whatever by Michael Wesch

I think that this video covered a lot and taught a lot. It brought the viewers' attention to some stuff that they probably didn't think really mattered with this new media. It talks about plenty of media and how it is having an effect on the way that we communicate. It is so many ways to communicate now that it is keeping a lot of people from focusing on whatever it is that they are suppose to be focusing on. There are blogging, texting, emailing, skype, webcam, etc. Texting to me, is like the worst of it all simply because many people are texting while they should be paying more attention to something that may be more important at the time.
Also, I know that I have experienced where through text,email, or anything like that, it's easier for people to talk to you any way that they feel. I know for sure that if I was there face to face with them, that it wouldn't be that easy for them to do that. The media is now becoming a communicating tool, whether it is hurting a person or helping them. When you communicate with any of the technology, it should be in respectful manner, especially if kids or students are involved, but some aren't like that.
