Photography collapse the and space and records the even on print that is if the picture is printed out. It also persist in presence

Virtual reality allows you to have two bodies. Your actual body and your virtual body. While playing virtual games, you move your real body in other to interact with the virtual body on the screen. Adam doing virtual reality games.

Considering the shift of phone manufacturers from rear camera to front camera and the emergence of selfies. Selfies are becoming popular, not only amongst microcelebrities but among those who want to create their presence on social media. Apart from the practice of taking selfies from above, there is also a practice of taking selfies with a loved animals.

This is where I do not know where to separate the entertainment part of WWE and reality TV. Do I say that WWE superstars do not separate their jobs from the psychological or emotional life? One could find John Cena proposing to his Girlfriend after the won their Wrestlemania match. In my opinion, they want to perform their true self and then allow others to observe them at will.

One may argue why Trump won the election, but I feel he won it through his convergence politics campaign on tweeter with over 26 Million supporters and "campaign managers"

The TV and "YouTube" as a medium of campaign ground

Satelite: Caught in between surveillance and Searching.

Kurgan keeps going back and forth on the work of the Satelite in Kosovo during the Yugoslavian war. I feel the satellites was at the middle of the crossroad in its functions. She also argues that these distinction “has become somewhat less sharp.” however, I believe that these satellites were not only searching and taking famous images as she puts states but were recording, “surveilling” the scenes of ethnic cleansing and war in Kosovo.

#Mapping Kurgan Surveillance

Considering the importance of the GPS and Maps in our smartphone nowadays and juxtaposing the statement of Kurgan stating that "...everyone will have the ability to know exactly where there are, all the time". The statement appears true considering the photo. But, what if there is Internet failures on our smartphone all of a sudden? Can one then say her statement is then a "claim"?

The use of GPS has proved to be a useful invention of the century. It does not only do the job of “keeping an airplane on course”, but can also help track down a terrorist group if the need arises. The Kiefer Sutherland’s film series 24 Hours seem to make use of this device in tracking and chasing their subjects. However, it appears that the GPS can be a bad and also a good tool in the hands of whoever it finds itself.

Is time really dead? or is it just “absolute time [that] was dead?” Does Einstein have the daylight saving in mind when he was proposing his relativity theory? Did Kurgan consider other countries where they have never experienced time springing forward or backward? I believe time is relative.

The map as space has evolved over time from decades. Borrowing the words of Kurgan, it has moved from classified to omnipresent. Not only omnipresent, it has survived the advancement of technology. I consider it not just a piece of paper that can be consulted to know the location of a particular builder or street, but something handy that can be carried around in our smartphones. Map crossing paths with technology have transformed maps from “space” to an app.

"No, in Maltz's world everybody could control his or her own" machine"". I could take the example of Katherine Buster being able to control her own Machine, Arnold Schwarzenegger

The title of Rid's text made me go back to my film archives to get these pictures together

Considering Rid's stand on Maltz well acclaimed book, I was wondering if there could be more explanation on how surgery is able to change someone's behavior. Behavior is not something surgical blade can cut or pass through. If this is then right about surgical blades and their abilities, how true is Maltz' claim? Could this be attributed as part of the rise of machines as cutting-edge tools?

This picture, a scene out of the movie, the Butler, contains American history; periods when blacks are not allowed to eat at the same restaurant with the whites. It draws us back to Klinger as she argues that “Hollywood is history.” The movie, The Butler, does not only contain history but tells American history from the farm to the White House. The 2013 movie seems to connect with Klinger’s idea of film narration. “[H]istory is directly expressed in film narratives, presents the past”
