      Rheingold talks about how his University students were not network literate, and that he made the assumption that they were. This article suggests that media literacy should be taught in grade school. 
  • As our technology evolves, and our streams become even more packed with tweets, articles, videos, pictures and posts, the concept of media literacy evolves with it.
  • To be a functioning member of today's digital society, one must not only be able to use social networking and online publishing tools, but must also be able to think critically about all forms of media.

      This article brings up a good point when discussing the negative ad positive sides of media convergence. I agree with certain points from both sides. On the negative side I agree that not all voices are taken into account, only those with access to new media. On the positive side I agree that the input that is given from voices heard helps improve services and generates awareness.

  • decline in the diversity of material offered and result in a tendency that voices of those lacking economic power will not be taken into account

    This article talks about how technology is changing the way we listen to radio. Also, how podcasting is changing over time and its impact on radio. With the ability to pause, rewind, and re listen to radio and podcasts, people are no longer sharing the experience of listening to radio live and together (co-presence). Also, how radio blindness is being lifted with the ability to watch videos on mobile devices etc.

  • "I would not have agreed to the recreation of the tattoo by an animator,"

  • The Hangover 2 featured Mike Tyson's facial tattoo on one of the movie's main characters, sparking a lawsuit from the tattoo artist responsible. Although the case was settled for an undisclosed amount, A California District Court judge suggested that a win was likely.
  • Alexandre Lalonde on 28 Jan 14
     
    This article discusses the qualms of art ownership and license agreements. After a tattoo has been applied onto a person, who retains that tattoo's ownership? One would argue that the tattoo belongs to the wearer, but it would seem that might not be the case. In fact, having the rights to feature the likeness of a person is no longer enough if that person has a tattoo. That person's body being considered a canvas of sorts and therefore allowing the tattoo artists to retain their creative rights.

  • 2012 was a great year for the “online education” industry. There were a lot of new startups to really help you learn web design. Some of them are: Codecademy Udacity Mozilla Developer Network Udemy Of course, you always have 1stWebDesigner and some of its really amazing articles, such as: Basic Visual Web Design Mistakes Learn Web Design – Quit College (really good advice there, by the way) Call to Action – Web Design Usability

      Resources to start learning HTML/CSS. All free, and all simple for those just starting out with coding.
  • Consistency is the key when getting started with web design. Are you learning everyday? Are you applying whatever new concepts you learn at least three times a week? Learning a little bit everyday is way better than covering a lot of material in just one day of the week.

  • social familiarity
  • both the creation and the consumption of these images on mobile devices speaks to the relative ease of tapping into that familiarity
  • Thanks to the startups and digital entrepreneurs of this last generation, we are all minor league auteurs or videographers, used to framing the shot, creating more drama, working the lighting.

  • long-running debate in some wired intellectual circles about whether social media powers revolutions, whether Twitter or Facebook really assist movements – and on the other side, whether digital technologies now help malign governments in sniffing out and crushing dissent
  • Of course the networks matter – because they always have
  • Twitter isn’t a traditional broadcast company; there’s no editor-in-chief who can be bought or pressured

      Interesting point about Twitter becoming a replacement for traditional news outlets like television and radio. Had similar discussion in class.
  • They horrify, but they don’t necessarily empower – or encourage action
  • we can instinctively understand the smaller scale conflict against a familiar backdrop in the same way we can grasp what happened at the Boston Massacre or even Lexington and Concord versus how Washington conducted the siege at Yorktown. And the visuals – really the currency of social media – have that quality of being instantly understood.
  • What’s different is speed (no wait for the 11 pm news) and the ability of everyone to share those images, along with comments and outrage
  • “Facebook ‘likes’ are often ridiculed as meaningless, but they can make a person realize that their social network feels the same as they do—and that’s a socially and politically powerful thing.”

    An article about software developed by MIT which allows people to practice interpersonal communication. The software is called MACH (short for My Automated Conversation coacH), uses a computer-generated onscreen face, along with facial, speech, and behavior analysis and synthesis software, to simulate face-to-face conversations. It then provides users with feedback on their interactions.
