article on culture and syncing...no more mass culture
-
I don't really know how to sticky note things because when I got the toolbar it went away. But I completely agree with Giridharadas's statement that our culture is synced to ourselves and not the people around us. Things sync according to our interests and out life settings. That's what the whole purpose of syncing is all about, making our lives easier to navigate around and technology catering to our interests. I do not have a calender that syncs itself but i do have an iPhone that syncs every time I plug it into my computer. And there's the new iCloud that doesn't even require you to plug it in before syncing. I wish there still was a way for there to be a mass culture, I just don't think it's going to happen through syncing. That would kind of reverse the purpose of syncing.

Everyone who uses an apple product understands that we are synced to our interests and our schedules. I have an ipod and an iphone and I always sync them. This syncing allows us to access more information around us that we can use to better ourselves in some way. Syncing is a great concept that allows us to share and transfer information and without this ability, we would be faced with more tedious tasks than necessary.

I agree with much of the examples given, especially concerning the success and scheduling of appointments. My adviser seems to hurry me out and just let me decide what to do on my own without offering any type of useful advise. I personally believe we should be able to set up appointments online through blackboard or MyUTK. That would be much more accessible.

I personally feel that as long as advertisements are truthful, they should be allowed to post as they please. Children must have the control and discipline to choose the nutritious foods their body needs.

This video is very appealing to its audience, being the entire internet- using world. After watching this, it is understandable why the video went viral after hitting the internet. The use of ethos stirs up people's emotions and makes them to want to contribute, but the controversy surrounding their distribution of funds leads me to believe that donating to their charity is not a good use of my money.

I just feel like if the paper starts out bad, it's harder to fix it. I would rather think as if my paper was going to be graded so I can do good work. Then when I edit it, it can be even better.

Here's a challenge--what does he mean by anaphora?
-
Anaphora is the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of a succession of sentences. This rhetorical technique is used to add emphasis. For example, the repetition of "I have a dream" in Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech.

He needs to reorganize his thoughts. It seems like a jumbled mess of words. His ideas seem logical for someone who is trying to brainstorm, but for college students who tend to be short on time, it works best to write a well written first draft and build off of that. Writing as fast as you can seems to lead people off on random tangents.

Campus-themed Internet memes go viral | Inside Higher Ed - 1 views
-
Ok, this is mostly just for fun. It's also an article that's more of a rhetorical analysis (analyzing a recent trend for writer-audience issues) than a contextual analysis. To make it a contextual analysis, I think one would have to go more into memes generally, what they are and why they are significant.
-
I personally like the memes. They offer quick humor and when in the context of a specific university, they are easy to relate to. They're usually pretty creative and the different variations can be used to convey different messages.

David Pogue's Review of the iPad - NYTimes.com - 4 views
-
I think the iPad is perfect for browsing the internet, playing games, reading, watching movies, and any other leisurely purpose a normal computer would do. I do not think, however, that it is sufficient when working with work or school related things. The use of any Microsoft Office program on the iPad is very dysfunctional when trying to get things done.
-
I personally believe the iPad to be more of a fun electronic toy. Using the iPad as a functioning tool for completing internet tasks or writing a paper seems like a difficult task considering the the keyboard you're given. I can only imagine that it would be similar to having to type on the iphone, which is hard enough as it is. There are plenty of other options that would function better in a work environment than the iPad. Also, the worst part about the apple products is that the flash player is not installed.
