This above is my i<clicker 1 that I purchased and thought I would get great use out of. Very soon after I bought it, the i<clicker 2 came out and replaced the i<clicker that I just bought. I was very upset and still kind of am because I feel like the i<clicker 1 represents to me wasted money. I feel like I could have saved money and just purchased the i<clicker 2 because it came out not long after the first i<clicker. I also feel like to me it means it is useless and takes up space that I could use in my backpack. I have bad memories when I look at my i<clicker 1 and so I am ready to smash it and destroy it to get rid of it from my life. Then I smashed it over and over again and I broke my i<clicker 1 and I now no longer have an i<clicker 1.
The image above is my new pencil case or pencil holder. I feel like I took an object (i<clicker 1) and turned it into an object that I can now use and that isn't a waste of space (pencil holder). I was able to smash the i<clicker 1 and I used the pieces to make a pencil holder. I had to take something old and turn it into something new by breaking down one thing and making it into something with a totally different meaning and purpose. This means that in English, we can take old research or research that has been done before us and break it down and add somethings to it to make new research and use the old to aid us into new things. In order to make new things it takes breaking down old things and this shows that new things usually have old parts to them and in other words, new things or new research builds on old research or old things. We take things that we have learned from the past and we use them to help us create new things in the future. I have my new pencil holder and to me the meaning is the beginning of the new life of my old i<clicker 1. I will be able to use the pencil holder unlike I wasn't able to use the old i<clicker 1 and this shows that I took something that was useless and tore it down to build something that I could use. I am happy with my new pencil holder and I am glad that I no longer have to look an object that I wasted money on and that takes up space that I could use.
I would be so upset if I were you. To be honest I'm upset I had to even buy an i<clicker 2 for one class. It was $45 and I use it for attendance in one class. If an i<clicker 3 comes out soon I'll be very upset. I bet it felt good to destroy it and make it into something you'll actually use. I'm sure it was hard coming up with how you'd actually be able to construct the remains into something you'd use. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteYay I'm glad you went with the pencil holder idea. Very creative!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my blog. I always try to comment back. iClickers I know have upset a lot of people I considered smashing mine for this project too, because everyone is saying they are useless now and you must get an iclicker 2. Last semester I held out and my original one still worked and I hope I can keep using it in the future. As a college kid there isn't really the budget to be getting a new clicker every semester just to get attendance credit.
