that thing are way to technological and things that there are things that are there and with poets are things that they do.
I think hes trying to say that technology is taking over human interaction and people are taking away time for people to people time together. He wants people to be more social and have better time together. And he mentioned that add is rising faster and faster because of technology.
The poems message is how technology and social media is taking away our lives, and controlling us and it is taking away our humanity. The tone was more serious and making sure the message was heard. The theme was a rhyming theme.
The tone of this poem is super serious and deep. The message he is trying to get across is that we let social media intervene with human interaction. We're not socializing how we used to. We're loosing humanity more and more everyday. He used rhyming to get it across easier.
I think that this video is telling us that social media has changed the way that people in general have lived and communicated. lately, our lives have been controlled by the number of likes and comments we get on posts, but it can make us more introverted and antisocial, not to mention the effects it has on our brains. I think that although he's saying that although its fun to have this new technology, its controlling our lives and there are consequences to these actions.
I Think he is trying to convey the idea that we do not need these devices to stay connected and social. And that we should experience things through our own eyes instead of a screen.
I believe that his idea of being more social by using social media less is a great idea. I totally agree that we gauge our self worth by the number of followers we have or the number of likes we get. I think that it would be hard to get people off of their devices when there are always newer and better ones coming out that are engineered to make you want to use them more.
I think that the video is right that people spend too much time on there phones. I also think it is too late to change so people should except that we now live in an electronic world.
What the poet said was really profound, and needed at this day and age. It relates to teens a lot, because almost all of us are on our phones or different technological medias to conversate and live in a world that doesn't necessarily exist. The way the poet brought the poem across was very interesting and creative. He added in places where he rhymed, where other places he just stated certain things. Overall, it was very meaningful, and will have a lasting effect because of the way it was presented.
I'm thinking that the tone and theme was really confident and the message he was getting across was really powerful. He seemed to be able to relate a lot with what he was talking about. He seemed to rhyme a lot too which added to the overall flow and understanding of the poem. He showed us that he wasn't afraid to be different to other people's opinions or not conforming with the "digital standards" today. He also wasn't afraid to attack any social media platforms or business leaders about what he things is wrong.
What I think of the spoken word poem "Can I Auto-Correct Humanity" is that I agree with what he says about how phones, computers, etc. are disconnecting people from being social, and instead of it being social media, it should be anti-social media, for it draws people away from each other. I think that his tone of being angry, however, at the same time he is hopeful, makes the poem really stand out makes people realize that what he says is incredibly true.
I think he gave a good example of how humanity is today. As much as I agree that humanity is so anti-social, I think that some people just need accept it because this is how were evolving. Theres nothing we can do about it. Everything is through technology nowadays and we can just shut everything down. If we all stopped using technology now that we are so dependent on it, things would plummet. I think the author is genuinely upset about how humanity is advancing.
I'm thinking the message behind the video is very true and in the right direction. The tone is very accusative as he criticizes people for being reliant on our screens. He shows some irony by projecting this message over a screen. He uses personal connections to liven up the story and give it more emotions.
I like the emotion. There is rhyming that helps it flow. I like when he would slow down, and speed up. Become quieter and become louder. I know not all poems, and presentations will have media involved, but I did like the little animations, and images. The message itself, I think is kind of true. People are so connected to their electronics, they're losing their connection to the real life. People play on their phones when they get bored, instead of striking up a conversation. People use photo-shop, and filters just so they can upload a photo, and people will like them. The world has put false information into the up and coming generation saying that people will only like you if you do this. I think this poem helps expose the ideas of how people should really interact with less electronics.
After viewing the spoken word poem Can I Auto-Correct Humanity, I was able to see the theme of the poem; suggesting, that people should become more involved in our world, and the people we love and care for instead of having our thoughts hidden behind our phones. The poet also used several poetic devices such as rhymes and onomatopoeia. The tone of the poem was negative on society and how we’re allowing technology to take over our lives; however, the tone is also positive on how we can change our habits and become more involved than before.
Poetry is a really powerful way to express anything. The guy in the video had a really good poem with some music and rhythm, and it portrayed a very powerful message. Poetry doesn’t really have any strict rules though. It doesn’t have to rhyme or be a certain length. A poem can be pretty much whatever you want it to be. A good poem sometimes can say or show something better than anything else can.
The poem's tone showed the compassion the poet had towards the subject and used it to help motivate people to be less involved online and more involved in life . I believe the theme was that as an average person that obtains some form of technology should take a break from all the online networking and become more interactive and social in society. He also uses rhyming to get his point across.
It is very intense. He uses tempo and how loud he talks to make different points stand out or seem more important. He uses and eye catching setting to draw in his audience but takes a risk when he rants about a controversial topic such as divides and how much we use them
People are caught up in some much technology that we don't take to notice the real things in life. He used rhyming and anger to bring out his thoughts about how the world is being taken over with electronics.
After watching the spoken word poem, I think that this was a very relatable and true poem. I think he got his message across really well. He was calm but aggressive at the same time. He was super confident in the fact that technology and social media doesn’t mix with human interaction, how they don’t mesh together. The way he pauses after each line makes it more deep and powerful, to make people this about how “anti” social media actually is. The personal connections he uses makes the poem more emotional and easier to connect to.
The message of this poem is about how this age is so addicted to electronics that we don't even have real conversations anymore. If we go out somewhere, we are snap chatting or we are on Instagram. We don't have real connections
The message of this poem seem to be that We as a society are to dependent when it comes tp our electronics and that we are less willing to talk to others. And the tone seems to be a bit depressing because it's talking about how we are bad as a a species. But it is also hopeful because it is talking about how we can better as a species.
The main message of this story is that Social Media is suposed to connect you and your friends. Instead, its doing the opossite. The tone of this video is sad and down. It talks about how many people wont go actually hang out with their friends they just sit on there social media all day thinking they have a lot of friends when in reality they don't.
