The Matrix was really enjoyable to watch, this being the first time that I actually payed attention to the film. I found that during the course of the film, the color scheme, the way in which the shots were composed (both the camera angles and how they framed the subjects), as well as the mise en scène of the shots all worked to give this film a very animated/comic book-esque feeling. What was interesting to me about this was, although it felt animated in a similar way as Do the Right Thing or Singin’ in the Rain felt, the way in which the animation forms in both movies is very different. While watching The Matrix, I didn’t find the characters being overly animated themselves, but rather it was more the entire composition of the film. I’m not sure if this was the result of the special effects or that fact that this is a Science Fiction movie, but I thought it was interesting when compared to other movies that give the same feeling this one goes about it in a completely unique way.…

I myself find driving enjoyable because I love to explore and take in new experiences. Becoming a safe driver takes patience, almost as much as a sloth has. After being taught and successfully taking in the exotic feeling of getting your license, explore the wildlands. We are as free as a bird is in the sky, except in this case, on the…
Uber is an American international transportation network company. The company operates the service through the Uber mobile app, through which consumers with smartphones submit a trip request that is then forwarded to Uber drivers who use their own cars to take the consumer from point A to point B. Since the launch of Uber many companies have copied the business’s ideology (e.g. Lyft, Sidecar, BlackJet etc.) and that growing trend is called Uberification. The problems stated by NELP in the article show that the subject are the contract workers that work for these type of companies. The first problem that the article suggests is the lack of benefits. Since the company doesn’t think of these workers as employees but as independent contractors…
