Now today we talked about something called inattentional blindness. This is failing to see something right in front of us. I think I have this worse than much people becasue I never seem to notice anything. Both those videos we watched in class I have seen and we read about them in the book. The first time I saw them they both got me. Ask anyone around me I am known for not noticing things. I found another video, the link is below, and I am wondering if this one will get anyone? I think this video really shows how unobservant we are as humans.

Change blindness can be a little unerving to some degree. In one case, where they pass through two people giving directions and switch experimenters behind a door, they switched a man reciving directions with a women. The scary part? The person giving directions didnt notice. They had change blindness even to gender. I know thats somewhat relative to the person and not everyone would yield those kind of results but still, as i stated earlier its a little unerving.
