Audience: The audience for this video is to anyone who has evolved with the technological world and curious of the effects and possible future effects it holds for everyone. This applies to students in most school settings as schools have seriously adapted to technology and almost everyone in the working world as businesses, hospitals, etc. have made tremendous adjustments in becoming more efficient with technology.
Genre: It is a fact based informational video about technology.
Purpose: This video presents how technology has played a major role in the amount of information we receive and how we receive it over a lifetime and gives shocking numbers of how much information we have learned since the past and how much we will be able to learn in the future from technology.
This video presents an interesting topic and says the question "What does it all mean?" at the end of the video. The video is presenting all of these facts about how technology has changed our lifestyle, but what can we do with all of this information in the future and how is going to change our lives.
The video is very interesting and effective in getting its argument across, as it continuously presents the viewer with one shocking fact after another.
Ethos: There would seem to be a lot of credibility in this video for different reasons. One, at the end of the video they credit research and compilation of the video to three different people, as if to say if there were any questions they could ask these three people. Two, the video is very well done which, in my mind, says a lot about its validity.
ReplyDeletePathos: The emotional appeal of this video is not devastatingly obvious, but there is some. The main thought of this appeal would be towards the end when it says "So what does it all mean?" and there are some facts during it that can be thought of as alarming or astonishing to the viewer, but overall the emotional appeal is very discreet.
Logos: The entire video can be thought of as part of the logical appeal. Each clip is another fact after another to show how technology has changed the world in tremendous amounts.
