I like how your story telling style made your presentation flow really well into the reflection. Within the story, by mentioning how frequently you use Craig Street, you make the point of ignoring media more obvious. And having to ignore it while doing the assignment emphasizes how frequently media jumps out at us as well as how often we ignore it. You also view the situation from a producer's standpoint, followed by a somewhat brutally honest truth that I think extends to most people. Because we have so much media, we are in a position to choose what we want to see and ignore the rest. Something I think would extend your presentation further would be 1-2 examples of the media you do pay attention to on Craig Street. Overall, I think your conclusion makes a good point that even if the media presented looks cool, sometimes if we're just not interested, then we're just not interested.

I agree with Rachel. It's great that you pointed out how hard it was to notice these things even though you've passed by them so often in the past. It's easy to relate to the feeling of having no time. There's no time to look at all this stuff around us. Also, if there's no interest, there's no way anything (except for this class maybe) will make you look at it. It's amazing how hard we try to ignore the things that are thrown at us. I like how you mention we expect rewards for viewing media that we don't want to view. Getting fake currency for viewing ads in games resonates with me a lot. I really liked the attitude of the narrative - it really flowed well. I guess since all of this media really didn't interest you, I would be rather curious to see what kinds of things you like to look at (maybe media you keep close to you, etc.).
