“Would You Connect Me Please?”

Creator

Abstract

This multimedia painting, “Would You Connect Me Please?”, created for the Digital Citizenship course on Internet Of Things (Iot), uses as a metaphor, cables, wires, CDs, vinyls, wood, sticks, string, and flowers to contrast the crowded chaos of IoT connectivity with the empty calm of the pre‑digital world. It illustrates how real‑time data, automation, and health tracking boost efficiency and problem solving yet threaten attention, memory, mental health, and genuine social interaction. Drawing on research into digital addiction, privacy, and critical thinking, the work challenges viewers to question where convenience ends and intrusion begins, urging us to set boundaries that safeguard autonomy and cognitive well‑being.
