1. If you had to live your life over and over again (as given in Nietzsche's myth of eternal recurrence), describe precisely those things that you would change and why?
2. Thinking about your own life (and connecting to the movie, the limits of science), what are the biggest obstacles that you confront in your educational career? More precisely, what limitations do you have that you feel limit your understanding of varying subjects and ideas?
3. Since the advent of hyper technology, what devices have you become most attached or addicted to? Why? Which ones are your friends most attached to? What are the pros and cons of such devices (connecting, of course, to the movie, "Surfing the User Interface".
1. If I had to live my life over and over again while being conscious of the fact that I would repeat my actions over and over again, I would be much more diligent about the actions that could potentially result in negative consequences. I would do my best to avoid potentially dangerous situations, due to the looming thought in my head that I would re-live any potentially lethal accidents, injuries, etc. Furthermore, the philosophy would also carry on into less impactive actions like eating breakfast and working. I would try to change up my life and make each day more unique and less like the day before it. Lastly, I would try my hardest to seize opportunities as they come, because if not, I would live through the burning regret forevermore.
2. In my educational career, the biggest obstacle that I see is myself. It is my negative attitude and laziness that prevents me from achieving the most possible out of my learning experience. Because of a lack of initiative and lack of learning, I feel that I am the reason why I do not know as much as I could. These are intrinsic problems that I cannot blame others for. Without these defects, and given the proper time, I know that I could understand and study a multitude of subjects, but it is my own self that prohibits me from doing so.
3. In my experience, I have found that the device that I am most attached to would be my personal computer. The allure of constant entertainment never fails to take up at least one hour of my day. I find myself constantly browsing the internet, playing video games, or chatting with my friends. There is never a shortage of options of things to do while I am on my computer. As for my friends, I would say they tend to be attached to their phones more than their computers, but the attachment is for all the same reasons. The benefits of such technology is the constant interaction between people and the convenience of communication. However, the technology creates a sense of dependency and results in a lack of true understanding and perspective of the matter. Most users fail to acknowledge the depth and value of the technology they are using, and they do not realize they are slaves to the manufacturers and programmers that make their devices.
