Wired 14.12: The Secret World of Lonelygirl - 0 views

  • Lonelygirl15 wouldn't exist without the explosion of broadband and the advent of YouTube – and partly by the appeal of a hybrid form of storytelling. Lonelygirl15 is a mashup of homemade video diary, soap opera, and mysterious, hint-laden narrative like Lost.
    • Heather Wenzel
       
      I really like these two senteces. It shows how much technology has changed, while also showing the genres that society finds intrigueing. YouTube is the new way to watch "television" and and they even compare Lonelygirl15 to Lost. It is amazing how far we have come.
  • In short, they were planning to exploit the anonymity of the Internet to pull off a new kind of storytelling, and they worried they were on shaky legal ground.
    • Heather Wenzel
       
      The Internet is considered Public Domain, however, instances always seem to arise when something controversal is added. Lonelygirl is definately a controvesal idea and I have to credit Flinders and Beckett for seeking legal advice.
  • Goodfried's advice was simple. "If anyone asks point-blank if you're real, don't answer the question," he said. "Don't lie to people. The answer is no answer. In my mind, it's the equivalent of not lying. But if people talk to Bree like she's Bree, that's fair game."
    • Heather Wenzel
       
      This advice seems a little awkward. They are not lying, but will people very believe it is real with no answer? I understand that doing this will get them out of any legal bind, but is there still a way that they can come under fire by doing this?

  • A conventional TV episode airs once at a certain time; even if it's great, it can only serve to attract viewers to future episodes. On YouTube, a video can be streamed at any time
    • Heather Wenzel
       
      I believe this is why YouTube and other Internet Videos are so popular and in demand. Our society has become a very fast pass society where instant gratification is a norm. Becuase YouTube's videos can be viewed every day and any time, they make a great for great entertainment, at your fingertips and there is no waiting.
  • It's a concept that the Internet portals understand better. "Yahoo says it wants to be the network of the 21st century," Beckett says. "And we're the production company of the 21st century."
    • Heather Wenzel
       
      Very interesting- it all comes back to technology and what is in demand. Everyone, wants to be "up-to-date" with the "new fads" and this shows how society truly is. We are in the 21 century and everyone wants to show and prove that they are there too.

How Mark Zuckerberg Turned Facebook Into the Web's Hottest Platform - 0 views

  • Now venture capitalists like Bay Partners are scrambling to fund almost anyone who has an idea for a Facebook application.
    • jrae3388
       
      I can't believe that those annoying applications that I am constantly ignoring have people begging Facebook users to create so that they can pay them for it. That's outrageous! I wish I was a bit creative to where I can create an application that everyone will want to be apart of. Only one can dream

Bob Dylan Wins Pulitzer - 0 views

  •  
    It is nice to see a singer, song writer and poet be recognized. Some may not like Dylan's music or style but I think that having someone lik ehim in the writing community has been beneficial.
  •  
    Dylan, the most acclaimed and influential songwriter of the past half century, who more than anyone brought rock from the streets to the lecture hall, received an honorary Pulitzer Prize on Monday, cited for his "profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power."

    It is nice to see trashy magazines do something nice. Most magazines like this are about celebrity gossip and whos dating who. It is nice to see them give good people some respect.

Wired 14.12: The Sound of Silence - 0 views

  • Tonight's exploding-rocket experiment will generate data that promises to make the science of infrasound more precise. With a better understanding of how infrasound behaves, scientists will be able to use it not only to monitor cataclysmic events but possibly to predict them as well.

      my problem with this is that it's defying nature. I am a huge naturalist and I belive that we have earthquakes for a reason. In fact, anything that happens naturally but in considdered a disaster happens for a reason. Us knowing when an earthquake might hit prevents the earthquake from doing what its meant to do. Despite the fact that kill, maybe that's just what they are meant to do.

Musical Mayhem - 0 views

  • As an upcoming Teacher, I will teach in the inner-city school system. My students will learn that regardless of what society labels the city they come from and how society expects them to be just another statistic of “the hood”, they are someone and they will be someone successful if they so choose. I will give them support, care, and a chance to see themselves as people and NOT just another statistic or number among the uneducated. I will share with them my willingness to help them achieve despite of the surroundings and experiences - if they were negative.

      As a recent participant of this blog, I have to say that this is one of the most inspiring comments anyone could put up; even though it had absolutley nothinng to do with the blog. I feel like this because I was once one of those inner-city children trying to make it. And even though I haven't made it yet, i think it's nice to know that there are people oout there preparing the next generation of inner-city children to make it.
  • I enjoyed the article “Understanding Comics” by Scott McCloud. It was entertaining, funny, a little complicated, but true. I agree that “we” do program ourselves to believe that a representational symbol is the actual object or person. Take a look at how street signs have an affect on us. If the word Yield was in the red octagon with white letters, we would STOP instead of Yield. Why? Because we would associate the symbol and not read the sign. Think about it!! We are so used to seeing the red octagon as STOP that we don’t read the signs, we just see them. It would be the same as taking a minute to comprehend what we are actually seeing versus what the word says when we have to read the words red, blue, green, yellow out loud. It will be difficult. If we took more time to examine, read, and process information then our lives would be much smoother to live.

      This is a very true statement and the first thing that i thought about was Prince. We have programed ourselves to know that when we see the weird symbol that represents Prince, to know it's Prince. Even when it comes to good and bad; something blue would be associated with good while something bad would be associated with red or black.
