The first section that I looked at was "Cellphones: Unseen Connection. There were a lot of different presentation techniques to cater to a broad audience, and I definitely think each one was effective. First walking, I saw an interactive emoji creation screen that allowed for photos to be taken to make an emoji while sharing very valuable and informative facts about going on social media. The next thing was the amount of IA chats and videos that reacted in real-time to messages sent. Lastly, all over the walls were art and comic books that were really engaging with the theme of what too much social media and technology can do to someone. So overall, I thought each one was effective because of how much of an audience each one of these things had. There was always a group of people interacting with the different screens or chats, or looking at the art and stories across the walls. Everything was engaging people, which shows exactly how effective they are.

Aside from the overall effect technology had on society, it also talked about its effects on the environment. Many of the materials used to create a lot of these tools are recyclable. Although the overall process of creation, use, and disposal does a lot of harm to the environment, it's just best to hold on to these devices for as long as possible and trade them in once you no longer can. This stops the cyclization of waste and production.
With the cellphone's continuous evolution, technological advancements have also been pushed along with it so there can be better cellphones and convenient use like satellite technology. Now cell phones, especially with social media, have had a huge social impact. First peoples perception of reality has been largely affected by how quickly people can judge and edit themselves to look "better." This has a huge effect on everyone's insecurities and anxieties. Also, the quick spread of misinformation has had a huge impact on sociality with how quickly information is shown to us; things like conspiracy theories and pseudoscience are way more. All of these were shown by comic books that I think target both the young adult and child age groups, warning them of the downside of cell phones.

The Second section that I looked at was "Climate Change: David H.Koch Hall". Three topics that were discussed within the Anthropology Section were the animals we affected, the agriculture we affected, and just the overall effect we had on the world and its whole environment. For animals, it's discussed our consumption of them for food and just how many different animals we were using for that. Agriculture discusses the few crop species we use for consumption and the large amount of space we use for that. Lastly, we as humans have had a huge effect on the overall earth, so this section showed how many extinctions were accelerated and habitat loss by the actions of humans. These were all done through large text and imagery as an example on the walls of the exhibit so that people can always somewhat see it. While looking, I did find the section on criticism, and I dont think it de-emphasizes the human impact because there is mention of it being because of human activity and shows different activities that are responsible. Although I can see people could see it because it does really focus on the impact itself and what's happening.

The Third section that I looked at was "Sant Ocean Hall". One video was "Great Pacific Garbage Patch," which of course talked about plastics of completely varying sizes being in certain areas because of the currents. This is definitely understandable to general visitors because it was very understandable to me, who didn't have any background knowledge of this until now. The second video was "Whales" which again "surprisingly" talked about whales. Specifically, sight reporting by individuals is being used to avoid ship and whale collisions. This was a little bit confusing at first because there were a lot of organization names that I didn't know, although it wasn't too important for the overall video to know that information, so I think it's still good for the general public. Getting into this room, the first video I saw was one for the currents of the ocean. It showed how they move and what effects it has. It's used its shape to fully display how the currents work. Alongside with bright colors blue and red to show the temperature. Although it showed it information in real-life illustration, this was useful because it demonstrated what it was explaining in real time.

Last section that I looked at was "Climate Change: David H.Koch Hall-Deep Time". One pylon that first interested me the most was the "Lush Rainforests," which represented 56 to 53 million years ago at Willwood Formation, Wyoming. I would say the sea level was higher than in modern times because this was when the ice caps were melted; it is also said to be warmer. This is all because of the high carbon dioxide levels during this time called the "Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum event." This was really effective because it was just interesting and cool to see all the tiny details, and if something is interesting, people will remember the information from it. The second pylon I liked was "Floodplains Full of Life," which represented 67 to 68 million years ago at Hell Creek Formation, Montant. The warm, humid climate and the PETM event make me think the carbon dioxide levels were still higher. Of course, both temperature and sea level were also high. This one was also very heavy with the small details and was overall interesting and informative. This part discusses the past of Earth's history long before humans, which was figured out by different fossils of species changing over time to live within the changing environment. I think that the exhibits do with the illustration and displays showing us the characteristics of change.
