TV is a drug - 1S 2017-2018

Watch the following video, and say what you think. What comes to your mind, what's the message of this video?
The goal is not to write a big paragraph, but to react to what the others say. It should be a conversation.

You're also free to ad other documents to the discussion if they are relevant.



Are your eyes still open?

So? What do you think about that video? The message ? The way it's presented?

I think it's a little big epileptic triggering, lol. But otherwise it's great. Shows exactly how TV works. It always adapts to people's needs and tries its best to attract user's attention

It's a really stressing video: repetitions, fast language... The person who talk seems crazy (television)! I feel really stressed when I watch this video beacause of the speed and orders: "LOOK AT ME".

does it correspond to YOUR way of life? Do you spend a lot of time watching TV everyday?

Yes MArie, and do you think it's realitstic though? this personnification of TV?

it isn't a good video because the text parade more quickly and that give a headach and the men speaking quickly too. Very bad vidéo

I don't have TV at home with my mother but I see the attractive effect of the Television on my brother's reaction when he sees one... he is totally hypnotized !!

What about the others ? Has your head exploded yet?

so is it good or bad? you kind of contradict yourself!

I never watch TV. Right now it's Internet's Era. The same procrastination thing, but you have much more choice, so I think it's kinda better now ( even if I still lose a lot of my freetime on useless researches )

The TV is presented as a crazy person, who needs the attention of others to be "fine". So I think that this personnification is very realistic.

i think the videos represent the reality coolll

I think that the video is funny, but it's true. If someone looks at the TV all the time, she is a little bit under the influence of the TV. So the TV is a kind of drug.

What about the others? How much time do you spend watching TV everyday?

And what ools are used in the video to try to convince the viewers?

I don't really know what to say about this video...
It's show us the real face of televison but in fact it's only us the real problem.We are listening to an electronic device and also ready to do its order. What's rong in this world ?

I think that this video is made by people who are trying to point TV out as a bad thing because the person speaking on the behalf of the TV is very extatic and hyper almost like
someone who is on drugs and is constantly saying that he is the only thing important to the one watching TV, which brings us back to TV is a drug

Why do you think internet is better that TV?

The video is very stressful. The message is about the fact that everybody watch the television so much and we can't do what we want because of the television which attract us.
With the video they try to say us that we watch too much the TV and it's not good for us because the TV will be vital for us if we don't react. In the video it's just like that the TV speak to us.

It's attention to make us understand how the television is possessive and has the whole control of our life !!! The speed is here to tress us, to make us feel disturbs.

i think, it's the advert "who speak" because he say all the time " look at me !" and the goal of an ad it's be memorable, so i think he need attention.
so for me this video is very strange because he speak very fast and when i have see that for the firt time, i don't really react.

Internet s better than TV because on TV there is a set amount of shows that have specific times and so can't be watch at anytime you want where as on internet you have all the freedom in the world to watch what you want where ever you want and whenever you want which makes it way more profitable in time and fun than TV.

Except the words Look at me, what else do you see in the video? What are the important elements in your opinion?
