Mob

"Can anyone foresee which companies will drive change and detect which businesses will be transformed or rendered obsolete?" (Reingold). I have changed my major three times since I have started college. I first wanted to be a web designer, an environmentalist, and now I want to be an film maker. I just got an internship with a film company Beyond Pix in San Francisco. They make allot of commercials but remain a small business. I will be syndicating videos for them on web platforms. Internship work is not glamorous. Even a company like Beyond Pix realizes that they have to change along with technology and diversity their videos across many different places. I am willing to do the work for the chance to eventually get a job there.

Reingold describes his experiences of living in a technical age as inspiring and he seems almost awestruck with excitement. I don't really feel that way about technology. Over the last five years I spend allot of my day online. I much prefer being outside than constantly be on my lab top. My wrist is bandaged up from being on the computer for over twelve hours today studying for finals and writing essays. I don't share his enthusisium for technology. The more I am online the more my body degrades and my eyes begin to strain.
