Artifact 4 A and B

The way I interpreted the two videos was that they showed how technology has advanced over time.  The pencil sharpener, in my opinion, is very old school.  Even though some still carry them around just in case they need a quick sharpen, you don't see many people using them just because not many people use regular pencils.  Mechanical pencils and pens are the most popular kind of writing utensil.  Also, many schools will have either electric sharpeners or ones that are attached to the wall where you have to physically sharpen the pencil yourself.  To me, those are even considered a bit old school.  I myself have an electric pencil sharpener for pencils, colored pencils, etc just because it is much easier and quicker.  From the hand-held sharpener to the electric sharpener, this is an example of how technology has advanced over time with this particular item.  After watching the video of the droid I was confused at first.  Even though it was obvious it wasn't a real person, it seemed so real and that's why it threw me off at first.  This a great example of how far technology has come.  Technology now allows us to create human-like machines that look and act almost like a real person.  The droid was kinda scary too.  It had a very creepy voice and the way it moved its head and smiled and also towards the end when the eyeballs started moving back and forth.  The comparison between the sharpener and the droid show that technology is advancing and will continue to and shown with the droid.  Many people are still very old school and probably still use the hand-held sharpener, but the majority of us have advanced are keeping up with the new technologies.
