Week 15- Video Log- Conclusion on semester

Week 13 blog- Facebook

Ho do you think online life will change the workplace, living situation, and other ares in your life?

The 12 points listed in the article were really really interesting to me. For some reason Facebook has always interested me in many ways. I just think it is so genius. I watched a 60 minute episode on Mark Zimmerman the 26 year old who created Facebook. He stated the site at Harvard when he was only 19 years old. He did it with his friends and now he is literally taking over the web. More people used Facebook last year then people used Google.com That tells you how popular it is getting.

I think that our internet world will change in many ways as time goes on. Things are already changing in ways like you don't even have to leave your house anymore to do anything. You can shop, pay bills, and work all from one place. When I was born computers weren't around like they were today. Only in the past few years has the world of internet and technology changed in very dramatic ways.

To get on topic the article gave 12 points how things are changing. The best point I thought was # 12... Hackers are hero's. This is so true. The word Hacker has always had a negative condensation but in the internet world now its a good thing. It means to create something new. I also like the point "power comes from sharing information not hoarding it." You can defiently tell that this is also true.

In conclusion I would have to say that the internet is going to change everyones life in the future... Little kids now have cell phones and use computers all day long. Soon this world will completely be on the web. Literally!

Week 5- Blog- Cell art & Lit (actually week 5)

I think that the art world has gone so far when it comes to the use of technology. Like really if you think about it you can create some of the best pictures and art right from your own computer, phone or other device. I really enjoyed using some of the manipulation tools though out this semester. The Cloud really interested me and the digital world does too.

The Cloud helped me create an illusion of what my life really is like. It helped me realize what my goals are and what I need to do to meet them. Before this class started I had no idea how much influence the world of technology has on art. We do not make it the way we used to... I am talking beyond just pencil or painting drawing the digital world has made life easier for advertising, marketing, and getting the word out to the world.

I love the way the News uses different tools in order to keep your attention. There was this great commercial one time that just had things jumping out on the screen and there was no way you didn't get the message. It was an advertising for a windshield company. They also had the best audio and visuals to really keep you into the message they wanted to get across. I couldn't keep my eyes off!

Week 5- Blog- Cell art & lit.. Hans Rosling

Hans Rosling does a wonderful job using technology in order to get in message across. He used many different techniques that really kept me focused and interested throughout his presentation. He used technology to enrich and enlighten his content that he was trying to deliver by being very active and talking a lot. He used very clear diagrams and almost acted like a comedian during his presentation.

The way you can tell that he does such a good job is from the reaction of his audience people are laughing and totally into what he is talking about. His key elements for his technique would be his wide spread ways of acting being calm then jumping up and down anything to keep the eyes on the speaker I guess. He used great animations as well. Multimedia really made his PowerPoint come alive.

After watching this presentation I can take away that it is important not to have to much information on each page. He only has diagrams to keep people focused while he is giving a very good presentation and kind of talking about the subject not reading off a note card. He uses the PowerPoint as his note card and feeds off of what each slide shows.

Week 4 blog

Creative Commons is great because it is founded in the belief that being able to share knowledge works to the advantage of the common good, creating an open atmosphere of sharing. It is a superb alternative to copyrights because it lets owners of copyrights release some of their rights while maintaining other rights, in the name of sharing intellectual information.

Sharing is something that I think everyone should practice doing more. Just like these examples in the articles we had to read. Sharing is a huge part of life and sometimes as Americans we don't do that good of a job!

I find this an excellent solution because there is no longer the "I own it, so the public can't have it" problem.
