Lost in the World
What is the general premise of the video? Todays society is malfunctioning due to how people are so stuck of what gets the most views, likes, or comments. It also shows that no one speaks or pays any attention to each other because of how addicted they are to their technology. For example instead of anyone trying to save the girl the just sat there and recorded her jump off a building. Is the video effective in conveying it's intended message? It is very effective.

photo reflection
Impact-erik johansson: This photo takes place in a lake of some sort during the day. It is an image of a man standing in a canoe on the lake shore staring at a bunch of broken mirrors.
