Here’s what the photographer Bob Seidemann said about his vision for the album cover and the reason behind using such a young girl.

“I could not get my hands on the image until out of the mist a concept began to emerge. To symbolize the achievement of human creativity and its expression through technology a space ship was the material object. To carry this new spore into the universe, innocence would be the ideal bearer, a young girl, a girl as young as Shakespeare’s Juliet. The space ship would be the fruit of the tree of knowledge and the girl, the fruit of the tree of life.”

“The space ship could be made by Mick Milligan, a jeweler at the Royal College of Art. The girl was another matter. If she were too old it would be cheesecake, too young and it would be nothing. The beginning of the transition from girl to woman, that is what I was after. That temporal point, that singular flare of radiant innocence. Where is that girl?”

This just shows that women are viewed as objects because the woman is having no voice. At first her marriage was arranged and now she's being kidnapped because some guy likes her.

How do the police not even know he's not actually dead? Is the power of his belief in his supposed death that strong that his body shuts down?

Why is he committing suicide this time? His love returns his feelings. He just wants to be dramatic.

How can he really believe himself dead? Is he so delusional that he tricks his brain into actually believing he's dead? If so, he has more problems than his love life.

I don't understand how he misses his body. Doesn't he realize that he should be in pain?

I think it's interesting that he's trying to conquer his love by studying. Is he trying to understand the feeling? Or is he trying to be better than the feeling and not feel it anymore? And why does he think that he can study a feeling?

This is so true. We are taught that grades matter and I have experienced where I take a class because I think it's going to be interesting but I can't enjoy the class because I'm worried about what grade I'm going to get.

This is so important to students because writing papers for class is hard. Coming up with a thesis and then justifying it is hard. Everybody struggles with it and if a teacher just critiques the entire paper, then it doesn't help the student write better papers. If the student knew what to develop better for their papers, they would write better.

Can I say this is fantastic? Because it is. Sure students need help with organizing ideas and how to write better but I feel like most of those writing problems come out because students don't understand what they should even be writing the paper about so they can't articulate that on the paper. Students can be taught the technical aspects of writing a paper, but that doesn't help them actually write a better paper.

I like those terms because as an English major, I write a lot of papers and to be graded with those terms gives me an idea of where my writing is more than getting a "B" will. It seems more helpful to me because getting feedback with one of those terms would be more encouraging.

This idea is fantastic because then students know how to get a good grade (that is really all we want) and from going through so much school, we know what makes a good assignment so we can fairly judge ourselves in what grade we deserve as we know the time and effort we put into that assignment.

I think that's interesting because as students growing up in the public school system, you don't care about the assignment you are doing, only the grade you will receive. Most of the time, students don't even look at the justification a teacher gives for a grade. We might look if we received a bad grade so that we know how to get a better one but that's it- we just want good grades; we don't care about the assignment.

I think that is so important because technology has allowed people to connect with others who they never had the chance to connect with before and it's an enriching experience. Not only that but it lets us stay connected with others and to do things we never thought we could before.

That is really cool because honestly, I use the Web but it mystifies me.

I do not doubt that at all- I personally have three such devices.

It seems like this helps people express their individual creativity which seems to be overlooked.

I suppose in theory that sounds good but having read that quote it doesn't leave me worry free.

It is and isn't free because if a website for like a business wants people to go to their webpage for their products, they have to pay Google to have their company show up on the first page or even pages depending on price, for certain words or else they could be on the 2,000th page and go out of business because of no sales.

Again, I think that Domain is something that will continue to grow because the concept of it makes students more independent in their learning but also teaches students valuable skills in this digital age.

That quote is fantastic but so important because I think students, at least most of all those in public schooling, hate school. The way that the educational system is makes learning not enjoyable so the concept of Domain is super important.

Another great question because before this class I had never heard of it!

I think that is a good question.

Having students go through even just all four years of high school with their own domain would be interesting because you could see how they have grown and changed.

That has literally been the only thing teachers have told me about my digital presence and I think that having their own space would be so helpful to students to really be able to express themselves.

All of that is so cool! I didn't even think to do any of those things!

This is really so important for students to make us enjoy what we are learning.

That is so wonderful because education for students is just making sure we pass our classes and get our degree and then get a job. Having education be more about ourselves than pushing us into the "adult" world is a great idea because it would make students be more interested in learning.

That's so interesting!

This quote is wonderful because it is so true.

I understand that because I feel students are online the most out of any occupation but legislative efforts are used in favor of placing restrictions on people. So while better security would be great, legislative efforts are not the way to go.
