Presentations- How we did....

1) What I didn't notice until I watched the video of myself...
I rock back and forth really badly, as I noticed in the video, and it was very distracting. I also had my hair in my face for most of it so they, (house left) or the left side of the class, couldn't see my face. I didn't speak very clearly and I could work on enunciation a little bit more.
2) How I could improve next time...
I think I could read through it more and practice it to be more confident in what I'm saying so my voice would be louder and I wouldn't sound as nervous. Also, to practice standing still while practicing the presentation would probably help.
3) What my group could do to improve...
My whole group, or me and Austin, could probably improve by standing still more and work on articulating our ideas better to our class. I think we also could've ran through it more to help get used to saying the presentation. I thought we could've supplied more ideas to make it more interesting.

New Insights About Technology-
The new insights I have discovered about technology are how much we actually do rely on them and how much we don't realize it. People generally like technology and believe more technology is better than less. People might even be considered selfish. I think my class and I have now become more aware of how technology kinda lures us into what people may consider an easier life, or an easier way of doing things without thinking about the negative effects or outputs it could result in.

New Questions or Confusions About Technology...
If some people realize there is a problem with where the world is going with technology, why doesn't anyone stop it?
Is there any other way to help people without technology?
