I have never seen or read Jurrasic Park before this class. The only thing I know about Jurrasic park is that it includes dinasours.
My first impression of the book is that I like it so far. The first chapter was easy to read and the plot already has me thinking about what omes next. I am interested to see what they are doing on the other island with the raptors. I would like to know if the narrorator will be the main character throughout the book because I don't know how much information she will be able to get about the other island since she is not apart of it. The other island is very mysterious and I picture it as the island on the tv show Lost. I think the people who came to the clinic are very sketchy too because the wouldn't tell her what really happen to the guy who got attacked and they took the camera.
The introduction to the book brought up a lot of good points about the effects of new technologies on a population. If they are not regulated they can be used by any one for good or bad. I thought the best point the author brought up was when he talked about how these new technologies can be used for frivolous things which is not how we are going to advance our society. For example, take the iPhone. It is a great invention with a lot of perks like a touch screen, vocal commands and GPS etc. However, having something that is so easily acceptable is making us less aware of the things around us like how we can use the GPS and not have to know where we are or what streets we are passing.
