My... Quiet Experience

     Neil Postman makes many argument that society loses meaning when ideas are conveyed through images. The meaning is lost and is not able to be expressed. I found this statement to be very true. As I went through my day, i found it to be very irritating that i could not get my point across to my piers. I found asking questions in class to be a waste of effort and that trying to communicate was hopeless. All of this was bad enough, but my lunch period was the worst. A typical lunch would include eating, socializing, and enjoying one's self. My lunch was terrible. I found myself sitting at  my table and simply eating and listening. I could not draw anything that could be deciphered, or even be relevant to the conversations. This is why I simply listened to what others had to say. Neil Postman makes a very valid argument that todays society relies on technology and images. These images to not do a effective job at getting our points across.
