Mr. Winkle Wakes is a short video created by Matthew Needleman that is about a character named Mr. Winkles that wakes up after a hundred years to find all sorts of news technologies such as computers, printers, and video conferences. It was all so overwhelming to him at first, that he felt ill and took himself to the hospital. After getting checked in, he saw many machines there such as breathing machines, lasers and X- Rays that he had never before witnessed that it also overwhelmed him, and he left again to figure out what to do. Throughout, the video, it is apparent that Mr. Winkle does not like change and is most comfortable to an environment that he is used to.
The meaning of this video is to show its viewers that change can be uncomfortable but is crucial to keep up to date in the 21st century and all the new technology that has come about. If you aren't used to using something that may be needed for a job, you may be looked over for that job but of lack of experience. The same goes in a school setting. If you are assigned a project that involves the use of equipment, that you may not be familiar with, you may fall behind. That is how important it is to stay up to date in this day of age. Teachers included! You may have to show your students how to use something in order to complete an assignment. As a future teacher, I will need to research constantly because I am not very tech savvy like Mr. Winkles...
