For my tumblr project I decided to focus on the unique and comical interactions or happenings that occur on the train. The people in the world today seem to be a lot more out there and act out in crazy ways compared to how we were taught to act in public in the past. It seems like people in the past were much more polite and respected other people more than in today's society. The world back then was also not as excepting of people that wanted to stand out and be unique which may also be a reason why there are so many people taking advantage of the opportunity to express themselves in any way possible just to stand out from the crowd or entertain people. Another reason why today's society might act out more or seem to be crazier than the past is because now everyone can easily capture a photograph of say a crazy person on the train and automatically post it to any social media website. Now whenever there is anything interesting happening on the train it can be shared with the world with a click of one button. So maybe in the past people were more respectable, but even when something happened that was unusual or entertaining, most of the time passengers did not have a camera to capture the moment. Even if someone had a camera and took a photograph of the event then there still was not a way to instantly upload and share the image with the world because technology was not advanced enough until recent decades. All of the images and videos that I have chosen to incorporate into this tumblr I believe are a true representation of today's society not only in how wild the public acts, but it is also a nod to how far we have come in our advancements in technology and the way we choose to use it.
