    After interviewing Tina about her smartwatch, I was able to learn quite a bit about what else she liked about the watch and more about how it has helped her maintain her health.

    Tina used to play Badminton, but now she spends more time going on walks, trying to get as many steps in as she can in the day. While she wanted a smartwatch, it didn’t matter to her exactly which one she got as long as it helped her to track her well-being, and she had the perfect opportunity when she bundled it with the smartphone she was buying, dropping the price of the watch significantly. The investment proved worth it, since not only did she track her steps but also her sleep. She was able to learn more about her sleep patterns and it helped her get off her phone at night more, so it keeps her in check. The watch also features a bezel that allows her to use the phone without using the touchscreen, a feature that has proven to be especially useful in the winter.

    After asking Sean if he ever felt bothered by the noises of the city he said:

    “You have to find peace in chaos.”

    AUDIO RECORDING BELOW:

    This audio was recorded outside of the Macaulay Honors College Building (35 W 67th St, New York, NY 10023)

    This interview was conducted with participant (Khadija Fall) in regards to the audio visible above. The following interview observed relation between atmospheres within New York City in comparison to experiences one experiences within their own neighborhood.

    The interview was documented and transcribed below:

    Q. Which aspect of the audio stood out to you the most?

    A. I could hear the birds chirping the most. Despite all of the conversations and noise, the birds stood out to me.

    Q. What Emotions arise when you listen to the audio

    A. Despite the noise, there was peace. I found the audio peaceful and natural!

    Q. Was your experience recording in New York reflective of what you might hear in your own?

    A. Honestly, no— it is more quiet in my neighborhood. My neighborhood is not as heavily populated as New York City, and so while familiar, the noise in the audio didn’t resonate with the experiences within my neighborhood.

    In summation (and in the words of Khadija), although familiar, much of NYC differs in regards to perception of audio, space, interaction, and experience. The beauty of NYC lies within the subtleness of the resident, each person finding something new within a similar space.

    Thank you.
