The presentation that Michael Wesch did was phenomenal. I liked how he opened the presentation talking about the “questions.” He then mentioned how he was driven by questions and made a statement about how we could become a world of learners if everyone was driven by questions. I agreed with that statement strongly. I am a very analytical and I question a lot of things that I do not understand. Why? To learn, and that is exactly what Micheal Wesch stated.

The next thing I liked was how he pointed out the “media” and how it is changing. Like how at first we mainly had printed media, but now he have digital media. He also talked how much it cost for businesses to have a 30 second commercial during the Superbowl and how DORITOS had a contest to pick their commercial. The winners of that contest said it cost them $12.79 to make their video and it cost the company 2.6 million dollars to have it aired. And him, himself created a video in his basement that was free and it was competing with the Superbowl commercial.

I liked how he did the experiment with his class to get their opinion on how they learned, what is education, and how they learn, and how the media helps. For example, Shawn dropped out of school to make a change and he gained publicity and connected people through digital media.

In conclusion, I loved this video a lot. Many people think that media is just used to be lazy and gain information, but the media can be used in many positive ways. It allows people from all of the world connect quickly and easily. Also with being quick and easy, it gives students the chance to use common social networks to make a difference in the world. Michael Wesch said it himself, it allows students to me more “creative” and “helps create new understanding.” I applaud him for making this video and bringing a new outlook on the media social world.
