If I were a fly on the wall...

What would you like to find out? Does he or she really like me? What does my boss really think of me? Whose cheating? Is the McRib coming back? This was my VoiceThreading experience (http://voicethread.com/share/1929407/). It was another amazing tool that I have had the pleasure of learning how to use and create this digital artwork.


The fly on the wall story idea came to me as I sat in the doctor's office and the doctor was discussing some test results with me. I thought to myself, if I could be a fly on a wall what would I want to find out?? I thought, how about the answers to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but I guess that would be cheating and I wouldn't want to do that, not even for a million dollars...really?..Anyway, I kept my story more playful than anything. At first I was going to go with finding out people's secrets. But there again is another moral issue popping up...that darn conscience!...


This was a fun project though. The whole fly on the wall brings up a lot of interesting questions. Whose privacy would you invade to learn something that keeps gnawing at you? I made a whole list of things that I would love to find out. Nearly half of those ideas involved getting rich. When it comes to money, morality flies right out the window..it is a shame, but that is where the world is these days. Especially with the economic situation in most countries around the world. Jobs being lost, unemployment is sky high and you or I could be the next victim of the depression or is it a recession?..oh the heck with it, give me the answers to Who Wants to be a Millionaire....
