Journal 5 : J.J. Abrams

J.J. Abrams' mystery box | Video on TED.com

I had to watch the TED talk with J.J. Abram's because Lost is driving me crazy during its last season.

"Technology is mind blowingly inspiring" - Abrams

It was funny to me when he said he was so inspired by his mac computer. He said it inspired him to write scripts that were worthy of being on his computer screen. He also made an interesting point that although technology is great you don't have to have the newest and greatest technology to still make cool stuff.

I thought it was also interesting when he talked about withholding information intentionally. Mysteries intrigue people so you shouldn't give them all the information right away.
