Based from the "Noise" passage in Culture Jam.
As I was doing a reading assignment for my World History class, my phone went off. I was in the middle of the reading so I just ignored it and tried to get back with the flow of the reading. Then like 5 minutes later, it went off again, of course when I was finally starting to get focused in my material again. So, now I am more interested about what my phone has received whether it's a text or voicemail. So, I checked it out. They were just random messages saying nothing of any importance, but yet it still got all of my attention! Once we hear a noise, it seems like we have to go investigate or find out what it was and we have completely forgotten about what we really should be doing, like me reading my History text! In Culture Jam, it hits the nail on the head with the "Noise" passage. Noise is part of our everyday lives, and we can control a lot of it, but yet we would rather be the curious cat and find out what it was instead of letting it go and focusing on the more important things!
AT THE END OF IT ALL!!
