Day 1: Music

Below you will find a YouTube video featuring the Incubus song "Idiot Box"--released in the late 90s on an album entitled S.C.I.E.N.C.E. While you listen, try to focus on the message being conveyed through the lyrics. What is the lead singer hoping to express to the audience? Although this song acts as a social commentary for one very common electronic device (the television), consider how one could apply these same ideas to the many electronic devices that people utilize and possibly over utilize within our culture today.



Before you begin writing, remember to write with a top down approach. As always, provide evidence to support your interpretation of the song and also your thoughts on the song's application to society today. Your response should be between 250-500 words.

Have Fun!
