Juan Enriquez: Your Online Life

Decent Essays
The fourth video I decided to watch intrigued me into watching it just after reading the name of it, which is, Juan Enriquez: Your online life, permanent as a tattoo and the url is http://www.ted.com/talks/juan_enriquez_how_to_think_about_digital_tattoos#t-339065. This video had a lot of interesting facts and comparisons. In this video, Juan spoke about how your online life compares to a tattoo. He also displayed different images of tattoos showing how tattoos can tell a story just as much as they can be a mistake. A tattoo is something you cannot take back, and Juan is emphasizing that what you post online is similar. One point that he brought up that really stuck with me is that our online life will be here even after our bodies our not.

Investigative journalist Sonia Nazario does exactly that in her Pulitzer Prize winning book, Enrique 's Journey. She immerses herself into the life of Enrique, a desperate Honduran boy in search of his mother, by imitating his journey through the harsh South American terrain on "El Tren de la Muerte [The Train of Death]", in hopes of understanding what brings "48,000 South American children to the United States alone and illegally each year" (299).
