Taylor Mali: "Like You Know"

After viewing "Like You Know" in both versions of presentation, I can understand how great of an impact the method of presentation has on its audience. When viewing someone speak in real life, it is harder to concentrate on the context of what the speaker is saying due to the fact that there are so many other visual distractions going on around the presenter. Things such as backgrounds, audience and the speakers facial expressions are all distractions that might pry the viewers mind away from the importance of the speakers intended context. When viewing the poem in unconventional print text, the viewers are able to focus much more attention on the actual information and context of what is being said and it allow the viewers to create their own presentation in their minds and to think more about the information. Many viewers are also more visual learners instead of auditory learners and having the words present themselves in front of them allows them to retain more of the valuable knowledge.
