I was able to finish getting all my information for the project today. Gathering the information for the project went smoothly, I have plenty of it, but I am have a lot of problems with quicktime recordings. I cannot upload them to iMovie which is very frustrating. This is making me reconsider what platform I am using to present this project.

Final Project

1. I want to do my final project on the freedom of art and how it should be able to spread freely on the web

2. I want to use a digital movie or a prezi or powerpoint I can decide yet

3. Fo the most part I have all the info I will need

4. I won’t need anything but my computer

5. The goal of my project is be trying to connivence people that art on the web should be free.

Lit. Review Paper Cover Letter

Dear Ivan,

My main point is explaining the internet, what it does for us, my main concern about where the internet is going and to make it a free place for people to feel conforatble and not be taken advantage of.

I think the idea that I have made most clear would be the part about who owns the internet, and the attempts to limit it. I wrote the most on those paragraphs and spent the most time on them because I was most interested in them. The weakest part of my essay right now I would say would be my conclusion and paragraph about expression on the internet.

I feel as if the paragraphs are in order, but the content in each paragraph can and should be rearranged for better flow. 

If I was going to start on an other revision today I would finish and complete my conclusion/solution. I would also focus on grammar because I haven’t gone through that at all.

The number one question I would ask the reader right now would be, does he understand what I’m trying to get at and does the gist of it make sense?

Quick Write 4/4

I currently am still in the research phase of the the paper. I know what I want to write about, just have yet to start the paper.

So far nothing is unclear, and I have no problems. Maybe I will run into some troubles when I start writing, but as now none. But I for see many up coming problems with this paper.

ℰ₩Ⓐℕ is the blog I choose for the board of review. His tumblr post #7 is well organized into three sections, all of the sections have a clear purpose and meaning. He cite’s his sources well, and the quote he used made sense where he put it. He had a good length, with well thought out thoughts. Over all a very well done post.

Tumblr Post #9

According to Brown the great project of you generation is to use technologies to assemble globally to fight the worlds problems. Browns ideas are totally realistic, we can now communicate instantly and this is the reason why. Being connected to the web now allows us to meet and communicate with people that we never would have known existed. Poor countries cannot catch up with the richest countries of today, they need the help of the richest countries to help them succeed. Coming together as a globally community will allow everyone to help everyone to make the world a better place. We can help by making the world a more secure, healthier, and in a better financial state. We now have the means to connect and help everyone, we need to break the boundaries coming together to solve the worlds problems.

Tumblr Post #8 “What defines a Meme?”

“This may not be what George Washington looked like then,” a tour guide was overheard saying of the Gilbert Stuart portrait at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, “but this is what he looks like now.”

A meme is an idea that spreads and changes, like a protein. A protein is full of information, like an idea.

“Survival of the fittest” is a meme that, like other memes, mutates wildly (“survival of the fattest”; “survival of the sickest”; “survival of the fakest”; “survival of the twittest”).

A meme is a an idea that survives, like the survival of a species. An idea that survives the course of time, similar how the Mona Lisa has survived for centuries. It adapt

Some species of songbirds learn their songs, or at least song variants, after hearing them from neighboring birds (or, more recently, from ornithologists with audio players).

A meme changes, ideas change, just like animals change to adapt to their environment. If the idea of is slowly dying, than it either dies or changes to survive. They adapt to survive.

Tumblr Post #7

For the longest time humans have been on the quest for more information. In modern time we now have access to almost limitless amounts of information. Anna Blair calls being swamp in this digital information “information overload”. How do deal with all the information? The same way people in the past, they have to adapt their learning styles. Instead of reading and comprehending everything in an article or book, we now tend to skim read. We now have so much information to read everything we want to know about we are now force to skim read. This changes our general knowledge and understandings of things we read. We know more about a lot of things, but we know those things in less detail. I would say this is a good thing. If you know more about a lot of things then that may mean you get more interested in others, ultimately leading to your area of study or work. Being an expert in subject may now be harder to become, but general knowledge of a broad array of knowledge is very obtainable. People should be eggar to learn about as many things as possible to hopefully find their passion in life.
