Electric State

 Yesterday I watched Electric State on Netflix (while multi-tasking and solving a puzzle). It is a movie about a futuristic situation where humans and robots have gone to war. It is set after this war where robots must follow specific rules and humans and robots are to remain separate. The main character Michelle lost her entire family, including two parents and a genius brother, in a car accident, or so she thought. A robot shows up claiming to be her brother, and they go on an adventure to try and find his body in real life. Although parts of the movie are a bit corny, it can easily be related to today’s world. Mr. Peanut is in charge of the robots who are fighting for “Robot Rights.” He says a line about their 'existence relying on a piece of paper' which I thought was interesting... This movie, in general, is against the use of technology to an extent where humans don’t interact in real life. It was a decent watch.

    I never heard of this movie! But it does seem interesting from a standpoint where the robots are a new established race. There have been many movies or games about the idea of robots being welcomed or introduced to humanity. It definitely is a race analogy, but can open more to different minorities and people in the world. It encourages people to be kind which I think is good.

A Heated Rivalry or Wicked Misogyny?

Image
 As someone who may hold bias to the extent that I refuse to watch Heated Rivalry, I think it's important to state that I've seen a couple of episodes, and the show just isn't for me. I've also watched both the Wicked movies starring Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande. Now you are probably wondering what these two media films have in common. Well, nothing to be exact, and I think that's the preface we must state first.  This isn't about the series/movies, it's about the co-stars, but first, here's a little context you may need to understand where I am coming from. Arianna Grande plays in the musical adaptation of Wicked and Wicked for Good, directed by Jon M. Chu. She takes on the role of playing Galina (Galinda the Good), she is a very privileged and self-absorbed young woman who attends Shiz University and ends up facing an internal battle of being for the people or wanting her personal desire to keep her bond with Elphaba. Elphaba Thropp (The Wicked Wit...

Intro/Post-Grad Plans!

Hi everyone, My name is Emily Webb, and I’m from Frederick, Maryland. I am a senior majoring in Digital Culture & Design with a double minor in Graphic Design and Social Media. I am currently finishing up my applications for Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs in Technology Education or Art Education. My goal is to become a secondary teacher for digital arts courses. I am excited about combining my love for digital media with teaching and helping students develop both creative and technical skills. Outside of school, I enjoy crafting with my Cricut. I love designing projects and bringing them to life by pressing my designs onto clothes and other items. Creating something tangible from a digital idea is really rewarding. I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you, sharing ideas, and learning from your experiences this semester!  If you’re a senior, what are your post-grad plans (I know, the dreaded question), and if you’re not, what are you hoping to do after gradua...
