J.J. Abrams-Blog2

My take aways from this video are that life is one big mystery box and we are surrounded by mystery boxes everyday; also that it in this day and age you can pretty much do anything you want to do. J.J.'s effective speaking techniques are that he jokes around; this allows for the audience to stay involved and to pay attention. He also uses a lot of anecdotes and stories to get his point across; this allows him to keep his speech fresh with new ways to get his point across to the audience. His presentation style is that he incorporates video clips into the presentation; to keep his audience attentive. He also uses props as an other method to get his point across to the audience.

In this video what matters to me is the overall message of the presentation. That message is that life is full of mystery boxes just waiting to be opened and solved. Abrams also wants us to see that it is the emotion of the mysteries that keeps us involved, not the action and romance; although that is cool too. This connects to education in that it shows that we, as students, must be emotionally invested in what we do. This is how we develop that love for a subject. It is our very own mystery box. On the world-wide scale this connects in that there are mystery boxes everywhere just waiting to be solved. Life is one big mystery box.
