I think that the guy in the video is trying to say that people in modern day need to limit the amount of time that they spend on their electronics. People should not always be on their phones, if people spend time together they shouldn't waste that time being on their phones and other things.
I noticed that the theme of the video was that technology is becoming to much apart of our lives. The author was trying to deliver the message that technology is making us less social. The poetic devices I saw him use where the rhyme schemes and taking pauses for the different stanzas.
The poems message is about how people should spend more time in reality and live their life instead of being on their phone. It talks about how people should be in person and talk face to face, and make real relationships. The tone is serious and the author is very passionate about it, he is speaking from the heart. The theme is about how people need to live their life in the moment. At the beginning of the poem he uses a little bit of a rhyme scheme.
The message seemed very urgent. He was using slam poetry as a way to get is message across, pausing at certain times and using a strong tone. The video is about the effect technology has had on people in daily lives, what it claims to do and what it really does. he uses different viewpoints, rhymes and metaphors.
the person in this video is giving a message about how people are so focused on their technology that they dont actually socialize. not even social networking is that social. he said it in short simple sentences with meaningful words.
It makes me think about what my values are and what values are good and bad. It makes me think what can I do to change my bad values. It opens up my mind to the reality of what socalizing really is and what our perception of socalizing is. It makes me think about how deep I am really in to all of this stuff. I consiture myself to be a person that isn't about all this suff but yet I somewhat are.
The poems message is how technology and social media is taking away from our lives in the way that no one talks to each other face to face anymore. he is trying to convey the idea that we do not need these devices to stay connected and social. The tone and theme of the poem was really confident and the message he was getting across was really powerful. He states in the video that people are reliant on their devices to "live" in todays society.
They used repetition and rhyming to make it flow and get the point across. They also used a statistic to make it more dramatic. The poem's message is to stop using you're phone all the time and that social network has made us anti-social and self obsessed.The tone of the poem shows how badly they look upon social media and phones. The theme is narcissism and how our generation is overly obsessed with their phones.
Regarding the poem's message it made me think of how addicted I am to a screen instead of the things around me. The tone of his voice was pleading us to stop and the theme was Communication – verbal and nonverbal. I couldn't tell which poetic devices he used but I noticed persuasion in his poem.
The guy uses most of the devices available to him to make the poem seem like a speech and he packs a lot in the short time that he's given. The Artist is using techniques that make us want to do what he's saying and the music in the background all accumulates around the effect of what he is saying and really pushes the effect of his words.
I noticed a lot of rhyme between verses, not between the entire songs but some verses rhymed together, I also noticed his transitions from “the average attention span of an adult is one second lower than a goldfish. So if you want friends that are aquatic…” The tone also appeared to be somewhat hopeful, angered, and a tiny bit of pleading at the same time as he’s angry at whats happening, pleading / saying for it to change, and hoping it will change for the better. One thing he said I disagree with is that phones don’t really connect us. I can see when the man is right there with the girl and not even talking to her, but phones can be used to talk and communicate over long distances but I think it was mostly good points in his message.
I think that the guy in the video is explaining how much better our society would be without electronics and if we focused more on the real world.
I think the person in this video thinks we would all be better if we didn't have any electronics and what it would be like if people just lived more natural.

The poem addresses how much time humans spend on their phone and identifies it as a problem. It states how people have strong relationships with others on the internet, but how because of that people are losing their connections with each other face to face. The tone of the poem sounds like a speech or an anthem. It uses meter to single out its theme and to express its importance.
The poem is a clever way for the speaker to get his message across about people being on their phones too much. This is about how these phones can affect the daily life of people in a negative way by using rhyme.
In the video, Prince EA uses different poetic devices in a creative way to get his point across about cell phones and their effects on people. This is undoubtedly a creative way of making a statement about the issue, but in some ways, it falls short. Poems are a certain way of making a statement, but they seem to only be able to make one. As a result, the video ignores other factors of the topic. Prince EA sets up his video in a way that presents one piece of evidence after another, which leads to a relatively weak argument that ignores facts that contradict his own argument. For example, he refers to Facebook as an "anti-social network," which is an example of him being too hung up over the play on words, rather than the meaning of the words themselves. The main problem with them video is that it only touches the surface of the subject. As a result, he misses a lot of large, important points that go against his argument, like the overall point of social networking. This is a direct result of his choice of storytelling, as a poem is an ineffective way of making a point about the subject at hand.
The poem shows us how our technology is taking us away from what could be more bigger than staring at a screen for hours and hours of our life. Technology is also changing the ways we interact with others.
The whole video is really just a deeper message being portrayed through poetry. The author is trying to get across to the viewers that technology is taking away our ability to live in the moment. It shows us how although we may have a great relationship with someone online being face to face is a whole different story.
In the video the guy is trying to put the point across as the se of phones is meant to connect us bu t in reality it is tearing friendships and relationships apart. We are spending more time on our phones then we do with people in the real world. the more we have been on our phones the more we disconnect from the real world.
Both the tone and theme are this idea of calling out for help and wanting us to realize what is so obvious. He talks about how attached people are to their phones and how we are spending so much time on there that we are now ruining our relationships because we chose to text or use social media to connect with them instead of seeing them in person and connecting on a much closer and personal level.
The theme of this video is to show the effects technology is having on this era of time. We all look down on our phones instead of looking up. Our relationships are being ruined. No longer are we meeting up with friends to talk about our day, instead, we facetime, text, and snapchat. This video wants everyone to put down the phones, look up and connect.
The theme of this poem is that people are too focused on their phones and don't socialize, and it is ruining humanity as a whole because we made a mistake making all of our social interactions happen online.
The theme of this is that everybody are too focused on their phones and don't socialize and don't know whats going on around them
I think that the video is conveying that society and the world would be better with less or none phone and social media use.
The theme of the poem is that people are too distracted by technology to realize what is happening in the real world where people are more involved in their phone than paying attention to their friends that are around them and we so heavily rely on social media for social interaction.
I think this video is trying to tell us that without social media and other apps and things like social media the world would be a better place with face to face communication.
I think that the video is trying to say that iphones are taking over peoples lives and also messing them up. A world without social media is a better one according to the video and our world would be better without it.
I think the video was trying to convey a message that you don't need the internet to be a person and that while it has it's benefits, social media shouldn't be your main source of interaction with the world, because as we all can see it can be very harmful to your mental and physical health.

I think the video is trying to show people that I phones and technology is taking over and changing our concept on everything. Its ruining peoples view on things and messing them up. Social media is really the cause of many problems that are happening. While we think social media is fun and making our social lives better its really destroying us in many ways. The world would be a better place if social media was never created.
