    Sherry Turkle’s essay “Connectivity and Its Disconnects” talks about how online connections may make people feel closer to each other yet pull them further apart because of things people do like multitasking. She further talks about this disorientation and feeling “alone and together” when interacting with people online, because she is talking to them and seeing them without them actually being there. Turkle gives an example of her friend, Ellen, who talks to her grandmother over skype and feels guilty because she feels as if connecting with her grandmother was “another task among multitasking”. This results in false intimacy and fake relationships. The question of whether social media and online connections have positive or negative outcomes…

    The beginning of sound recording was an extranomical feet, shaking the ground of modern technology at the time, but now it has developed so rapidly to support our need of human connection that you might be surprised how similar we are to those who first invented it. The process of refining and marketing the phonograph from the texts “The History of the Edison Cylinder Phonograph” and “The Incredible Talking Machine” by Randall Stross is similar to the development of the Audio Spotlight in Mark Fischetti’s “Psst…. Hey You.” Competitors that battle to be top dog in the dog park, profits that could make a man rich for life, and brains needed to make it possible are all things both modern and older sound businessmen had to deal with. In most any way of living, competitors can be the most dangerous to your job and have been around the sound business since it started.…

    In his article “How we Listen to Music”, Aaron Copland (1988) states that music is listened to on three different planes. Copland describes them as the sensuous plane, the expressive plane, and the sheerly musical plane. The reasoning for listening to music for the pure rhythm and harmony is the sensuous plane. The sensuous plane is where “one turns on the radio while doing something else and absent mindedly is engendered by the mere sound and appeal of the music” (Copland). People who apply this plane to their life tend to listen to music as a release.…

    In “Connectivity and Its Discontents,” Sherry Turkle states that the wide use of technology is affecting the foundation of which people are building their relationships off of. People crave the affection and connection of other people. However, what we believe to be known as “connecting” is completely based off of our technological needs. When we are physically there with another person we tend to doze off and connect with our technology more than we are actually connecting with the person we’re physically with. We have sacrificed conversation for mere connection.…

    The article “Why Is Dissemination So Difficult? The Nature of Teacher Knowledge and the Spread of Curriculum Reform” by Cheryl J. Craig, is informative and insightful because the author expresses her beliefs about curriculum dissemination from the narrative and perspective of Bernadette Lohle, a veteran teacher involved in a nationally funded curriculum dissemination project at Cochrane Academy School for the Mathematics, Sciences, and Fine Arts in New York. Lohle’s reactions capture tensions concerning how she could “disseminate” her knowledge and participate in the spread of curriculum reform ideas as stipulated in her school’s awarded grant proposal (p.257). According to Craig, teachers are curriculum makers rather than curriculum implementers (Tyler and Schwab, Clandinin and Connelly,1992).…
