Digital Tattooing Video Questions

 

  1. What does the question Juan Enriquez (the speaker) asks regarding Andy Warhol imply when he says the following: What if Andy Warhol had it wrong, and instead of being famous for 15 minutes, we're only anonymous for that long?
  2. Juan Enriquez uses 4 analogies when he compares the myths of Greeks to social media. What do these analogies mean? Apply them to our culture’s use of social media.

      - Sisyphus: (was doomed to roll the rock back and forth for eternity):

       - Orpheus and Eurydice (Orpheus loses his beloved after looking at her):

            -Atalanta and Hippomenes (Atalanta loses the race after picking up golden apples):

            -Narcissus (falls in love with own reflection):

  1. When the speaker closes his speech with a lesson from Jorge Luis Borgus, he says the original thing is “to threaten someone with immortality. And today because of social media we are all threatened by immortality.” What does this mean?
