This article discusses Abstience in the college realm. The girl in this article is caught completely off guard when she sees the "hook-up" craze even effecting presitigious schools like Harvard!
This article discusses a school in the districts of Southington and Clinton who test BAC of their students. Is this a breach to of their first amendment rights?
Radical Islamism is a modern philospohy without a doubt. Aren't these ideas echoed in Middle Eastern thought and relation to the rest of the world still today?
Those who support the war and President Bush's initial notion to combat terrorism would assume that radical Islamism is behind the evil doing. Extremists have extended the peaceful notions of Islam and contorted justify wrong doings.
Every one of those policies has left the Iraqi people worse off than before,
even if nowadays, from beneath the rubble, the devastated survivors can at least
ruminate about a better future — though I doubt that many of them are in any
mood to do so.
Almost everything in the room was bought from Target on the same day, and the
price tags are still hanging from some of her stuff. The closet is filled with
men's clothing, and in the corner two guys huddle around a laptop and stare at
the webcam feed.
I like this whole idea of making your own TV show on the Web. It makes me wonder if TV will be renamed and some acronym for computer show will replace it. Podcasts? Is that what they are? If some one can tell me, let me know!
Meanwhile, the online celebrity started spilling over into the real world.
Rose was browsing for a book in Santa Monica after "My Parents Suck …" was
posted and noticed two girls watching her closely. That night, Amanda received
an email from a fan: "Hi Bree. My friend and I thought we saw you at the Barnes
& Noble in Santa Monica, but it couldn't be you, right?"
These people are receiving instant fame. Like any celebrity there are positive and negative consequences. While Youtube may have in fact helped this actress's career, it could have also easily shattered it
He'd take down the pictures of Rose as a baby, stash the stuffed animals, and
swap out the girly bedspread for his more masculine blue-and-white-striped
blanket. Now, three months into the project and with hundreds of thousands of
regular viewers, he doesn't bother
The guy that created "Evolution of Dance" came to Rowan and spoke to us about this. He did have to receive copy right license I believe. The law is the law. The internet is not a "free for all"
Until now, advertisers have underwritten mass media to reach mass audiences.
Indeed, they've paid increasing premiums for the opportunity as audiences have
shrunk, because even in a fragmented media world, the largest fragment – network
TV – is the most valuable. But now they realize that they are losing not only
mass but critical mass.
I think more money is now put into online advertisements than TV advertisement. Is it fair to say that the computer is almost (that is in popularity and phenomenon (sp?)) as big of a pop culture invention as the TV was in the 50s?
Altogether, this stuff constitutes a bottomless reservoir of short-form video
content for others to siphon off if they choose
Youtube is re-discovering fame. Who needs agencies when you can publically display yourself and your "talents" on the web. Youtube is re-defining fame and misfortune
The price tag for YouTube, just to put the investment in perspective, is what
Target paid for 257 Mervyns department stores and four distribution centers in
13 states, and just a bit more than WPP Group paid for the Grey Global Group
advertising network with 10,500 employees in 83 countries generating $1.3
billion in revenue. Those, of course, are both profitable enterprises with vast
fixed assets.
This is unbelievable. I can't believe how far Youtube has come. It has truly exploded. It's like what the video we saw on the first and second days of class: "We live in exponential times"
