Like most classmates, I think this story is so interesting, which make me laugh. Even my roommates just heard the voice, she laughed too. The guy chooses playing with UMove instead of real physical football is definitely ridiculous. We regard this behavior as unreasonably. Not only because it is kind of wasting of money, but also how you choose the way you live. We can’t deny that technology has radically improved our way of life. However, do we have to abandon our old way? Absolutely not. In my perspective, the benefit from technology is that can offer us more choices to experience our life, and we can take advantage of it instead of relying on it.

JULIAN SMITH - uMove
This YouTube video humorously raises questions about how our generation lives our day-to-day lives. The central character is "plugged-in" to a fantasy football game in which he experiences his daily entertainment while he could experience a more rewarding game in reality with his friend at no charge, instead of the $599 price tag he paid for his uMove game system. To his friend, he seems utterly ridiculous because it is obvious to him that his friend is falling for a scam, a scam that robs him of fully experiencing normal life. Although his friend attempts to convince him of the absurdity of the game, he fails to recognize the value of real life experiences.
