    Streaming Analytics: A Window Into Collective Mental Wellness

    What could the programs that we choose to watch, queue, and re-watch tell us about our emotional/mental state – and might they be able to reveal more than we are able to communicate/admit ourselves?

    The al a carte, self-serving nature of today's digital streaming services allows users to set up their own digital buffet. A little bit of this, a little bit more of that, less of this.

Your review of these two films in relationship to the silent film area and the enjoyment criteria was very enjoyable.

      It made me think of Disney Pixar’s WALL-E. I remember watching it for the first time and thinking, somewhere around the 20th minute, “wait, I haven’t heard anyone talk yet.” The best part was, that I wasn’t disappointed – it brought about a feeling of relief, relaxation. The relationship that I had developed with WALL-E was unlike any that I had ever experienced in film. The silence left room for my own thoughts and feelings in the story arc and helped me connect with WALL-E and his directive in an effortless way.
