Sports/Action finale and architecture preview assignment

1. The last sentence of the story says

"I believe that more and more, we are defining our environments not as the spaces themselves, in terms of the buildings or architecture, but rather by the objects and devices that we buy and surround ourselves with. ... I would like that message to carry through universally," Seymour said.

What do you think about this statement? i think that this is a very deep and insightful way to think about how we define our environments.
Do you agree or disagree? i do agree with this statement 
As an aspiring photographer how does this make you feel about your photography? This makes me feel like you can capture a part of an environment when you tae a photograph                                                                                

2. When you looked through the images, did you want to visit this place and take your camera?
No because there are alot of creepy dolls there
3. What do you think it would be like to be the child of someone who worked at this place?
