Entry #4: Wall-E

Pixar movie have powerful means throughout the movie and Wall-E is a great example of that. This short clip from the movie Wall-E gave me a very different reaction then the characters had during the short clip. The characters were humans from Earth that were sitting on hover chairs transporting them from one destination to another. The humans were overweight and seemed like they didn't know their surroundings. They only knew what was on the screen in front of them and that products like drinks would be given to them automatically. while riding their hover chairs they had a joy of being connected with their friends, the technology gave them the pampering they want along with, portable food and drinks, change of clothes color and the relaxing scenery. This place was called the Human Dystopia.

However, as the short clip was playing, I noticed that my same reaction was like Wall-Es. I was in disbelief that the human society let themselves be over ruled but technology and that they have gotten over weight. I believe that exercise is everything and that people should have independence. This clip mad me feel like I was watching a horror film. I felt ashamed and embarrassed, even though its fiction, the feeling of watching it was to real that I would like to change my ways with technology and go for a run.

This clip does resonates with me because there are times when I watch television or use my phone that I don't  realize my surrounding and fall into the deeps of YouTube. So, I could be sitting on the couch in my living room then once I put my phone down I would end up laying on my bed. Just like the woman character in Wall-E, when he disconnected her monitor while she was siting in her chair in the train to transport her somewhere different,  she looked around her surrounding and didn't realize what was going on.

In continuation to that, this movie should also resonate with everyone else that use technology on a daily basis. I am not expert when it comes to technology, however I grew up with four older brothers so I know what happens to them when they are using some sort of technology they become zombies. Once they get into their video games, for instance, they sit there yelling at the television screen in their own little world. They wont answer to you at all and what seems like being controlled by technology, Because once again it controls the way they react, will they get angry?sad? happy? scream with excitement? Can't tell until the video game continues to play. Or , again, don't realize their surrounding.

But the most irritating one for me is that the humans rely on technology to much for everything. We rely on it with knowledge, Of course the internet was a great success on giving us new information everyday, however we also need to have self knowledge of the world. We have to fill information in out heads not our fingers. Get out and explore. But we are human we love to sit around on our phones, tv, and video games just like the human characters in Wall-E.

This movie was very educational and will give me a different look on technology and with looking after my health, because they gave me quite a scare.

Entry #3: I should go to the hospital now....

Technology. It creates new inventions from robots to airplanes or glasses to putting a chip in someone's body to help monitor their blood and heart. This chip was invented but Swiss researchers that had an idea to help spread new inventions throughout  healthcare. They created a tiny chip that will be placed under the patient's skin to analyze blood from the body and send test results instantaneous. New and improved technology is continuously being brought up or invented in the health care and this is another successful idea that will help the people around the world.

"It will allow direct and continuous monitoring based on a patient's individual tolerance, and not on age and weight charts or weekly blood tests,"  Giovanni de Micheli, the Swiss team leader. Another scientist, Sandro Carrara, said that the implanted chip could also detect a molecule that is tied in with a heart attack. It can detect it two to three hours before the attack could happen, Having enough time to get a ambulance there to monitor the patient.

Incredible is the only word that I could describe this new piece of technology. However its still on going experiments but hopefully it will be fully complete in the next four years.

To me this is a great idea that should be given to everyone. Its very convenient especially for those who live in the middle of nowhere and can't really be known if they had a heart attack or not. In New Mexico there are a huge amount of land, and because of that everyone lives so far from each other. The cities are at least a two hour drive from where most Native Americans live.

There is a place in New Mexico called Burnham. Its pronounced as Burn- ums. There is where a man lived in the middle of nowhere without and electricity or plumbing. All he had was his house and his farm. So, the ideas of health care was unreachable for him, unless someone took the time to drive all the way to see him but there is that "What if.." factor that if he were to have a medical problem or even a heart attack, how would he get the help that he needs if he is too far and don't have the transportation to get his to the hospital. That's what most elderly Native Americans are suffering from to this day.

This new implant could help the elderly with getting diagnose quickly and getting the medical help needed faster before something more serious happens to them in the middle of nowhere.

Entry #2 : Cousins

Family is always there.  Even when they haven't seen each other for many years, they act like they  just seen one another only 5 minutes ago. Reminding us that we act like the children we were 10 years ago.

The main family members that make you feel like minutes have passed when it's has been hours are our cousins. Cousins are the family members that are children of our parents siblings. However, cousins are of close relation to were most people call them their sister/brother. Especially for the Native American.

As an Native American, cousins will be our best friend. If we hang out with anybody it will be our cousins. Because of that, they are always there even when that aren't physically. Other than just getting together with our cousins to talk and watch movies, there are meaningful activities in the Navajo Tradition that we share with them. When a child becomes a young woman called Kinaalda,
 their cousins join her in a ceremony that includes running further that the young woman, baking a cake and making traditional clothing or blanket. Because of theres significant events cousins will remain close until the very end.

Shiyaazh zeedii, meaning cousin in Navajo. This is to shine light on the Navajo Traditions to blog viewers.  

Entry #1 : My jugdment

I believe that blogs are for people who just want some type of meaning for life. Bloggers want to scream their opinions to the world and attract attention to themselves. However, bloggers are the latest trend in our society. Many bloggers become famous writers and publish their own book. Its a great investment, only if the person is interesting.

There are intresting blogs that have caught my eye, like Dirt in Your Skirt. What I like about this blog is thats its mostly for women who want to get fit. There are questions that are answered for them to help increase their motivation of fitness. I like to workout and stay active with running and marathons. So seeing others with the same liking of me, its exciting to read.

Another favorite blog that I have came across is 101 Cookbook. Cooking is one of my hobbies that I been doing since elementary school. So, of course it will be one of my liked blogs. This blog does not only give simple recipes but the layout is very clean and easy to follow.

One blog that i found dis intresting are the historcial and scienfitc blogs.
