In the excerpt "Not Just a Smiley Face," it says that some people believe that using emojis is killing the English language where as others say it is helping to rejuvenate the English language. The emoji was first brought to the world by the computer staff at Carnegie Mellon, and then revamped by Shigetaka Kurita, a telecommunication planner. When the 2011 update of the emojis accrued the use of the emoji in the United States went viral. Many fields use emojis to help them people understand what is going on(an example of someone using emojis to understand someone is when doctors use them to help talk to their autistic patients).Depending on the type of emojis you send to people it will tell people, and yourself, about your personality and the culture you live in.

What was Steve like? Steve was never satisfied. Even when products would be produced to the highest level, Steve would not be satisfied. Whenever one would argue with Steve, they made sure to have hard facts and evidence to be correct. Steve was always pushing for perfection and was not afraid to criticize. A CEO is more than just someone who makes the shots, rather someone with great taste in design.

Tyler Greer The digital era we live in today makes it almost impossible to be certain that what we say even behind closed doors will stay private. Just because we use an email and send it to one person, does not mean that it will stay private between you and the sender. Search engines now have our history of previous sites we have gone to, and may or may not be willing to send this information out for the right price. Although the internet may seem totally open to the public, there are ways that you can hide information so that your life stays private aside from what you openly tell others. The Internet is an amazing tool for us to use, and many times privacy seems to be a hot topic. But if one becomes so worried about what they say or do on the internet, then maybe you should step back and reconsider what you say online because anything you say may get out and do more damage than good.

Katy Steinmetz, author of, “Not Just a Smiley face,” states that before the era of the emoji people would mainly communicate through pictures. The introduction of the emoji is now causing people to express themselves more clearly by allowing their conversations and sentences to output emotions. By using faces at the end of each sentence people are able to communicate with each other and know how they feel. Named from the Japanese words, picture and character, the emoji can be used to show love by adding a heart at the end of cute message or it can show anger by adding an angry face at the end of an angry comment. Furthermore, through the use of emoji people are beginning to use this tool as a means of advertisement. For example, to promote a popular song Beyonce had written, “Drunk in Love,” she created t-shirts with emoji's, symbolizing title of the song. In 1999, the first emoji face was drawn by Shigetaka Kurita, who created these faces for the computer which only a few people had. People are now attempting to create an emoji based language.

Are emoji's changing the way we communicate? In the article, "Not Just a Smiley Face. The emoji boom is changing the way we communicate" by Katy Steinmetz, the author claims that emoji's are killing the human language and some think it is an important tool to English. Emoji's are improving human context that has been lost as in-person communication that is sent away in text messages, e-mails, or in social media. The modern roots of emoji's were traced back to 1982 by a computer-science staff at Carnegie Mellon. Emojis continue to establish human connection in this society. Antonio Espana

Shawn Francis Peters explores the effects of digital culture and social media in conjunction with the way students react to the change in teaching style in the article "Diverse Students Go Digital". Peters explains that not all students learn the same way, but all students are more engaged and willing to learn when the coursework and lectures are interesting and practical. Through his trial and errors, he has come to the conclusion that using technology to provide examples that the students are familiar with, allows them to form different questions and analyze their own thoughts on the subject. Furthermore, the use of multiple forms of technology have been shown to provide a more clear understanding of subjects for students who struggle to make the connections from a text. Creating a process that appeals to the students' experiences allows them to re-think their core assumptions and beliefs. Though many people struggle to see the benefits of technology in the classroom, Peters' information goes to show that a relation with the new ideas and your own experiences can be brought together through social media and the digital world to create a whole new way to learn.

The Dead ball era was a time in baseball history between 1900-1919 were hitters strategized more with bunts, sac flys, and stealing bases to score runs. During this era pitching was dominant and there were few hits, and home runs were very rare. Now it seems as if pitching has hit its peck again! A perfect game is when a pitcher keeps the opponent at no runs, no hits, and no walks. Rarely we will see a perfect game come about maybe a few times per decade, but in 2012 we saw three! And this year alone there has been three no hitters. A no hitter is almost like a perfect game but the pitcher gives up a least one walk. Is the Dead ball era coming back or will we ever see as much home runs again?

Does the digital culture and age change how our lives are? The author says that the digital culture of lives today will change how things are but it can't change everything. WE choose how to use the computers. The computers don't choose for us. On the other hand though, it can in fact change our lives completely because as technology grows we will depend more on it and start throwing out the outdated ways of research and pleasure. I definitely agree that life can change completely but there are things that have to stay the same. No matter how advanced technology is there are old techniques that can't be overlooked and thrown away. Technology will ultimately change our life and have an impact in it but not everything can change because we are focused on things too much and can't escape certain habits good or bad.

In the article, "Hackers as Tricksters of the Digital Age: Creativity in Hacker Culture", it is difficult to determine if what the hacker is doing, is good. It depends on the situation or what the hacker is hacking. Hackers and tricksters are able to do things that are unheard of in the digital world. Although, what they hack has pros and cons depending on whether or not what they hack is for public service, or taking down a site. I think that hackers and tricksters can make public services, digitally, better. If what they hack is needed to make something better, rather than taking it down, or doing something else that isn't needed.

In the article "This Time its Personal.", the authors state that the driving trend of the digital revolution is ourselves. Technology is being created to cater to our needs and what is fast and convenient for us. Company's are creating handheld devices that we can take on the go, systems that are a lot faster, and DVR settings so we can watch our shows when we want to not when the TV airs them. Digital Entertainment is now created in a way that we can create our own entertainment. If something is not the way you like it you have the power to change it and make it how you want it to be. Although the digital revolution may have fallen short of its hype it is certainly not dead and is continuing to rapidly grow.

In the article "Playing it cool", Rebecca Dana goes over how a company called Vice is changing the way news is spread through todays society. Vice was founded in 1994, and over the years has dramatically changed. It started as a magazine, and has worked its way to covering news. The interesting, and appealing, thing about Vice's trendy way of reporting news, is that they go into the action head on. Like one of them said "We do smart things in a dumb way, and dumb things in a smart way.". Vice is known for its very low age of employment, averaged 26 years of age. Vice plans on covering a vast majority of the news that the public eye sees. In a nut shell, he is changing what is being allowed to be seen in a very little time gap. Dana, Rebecca.

In the article, "In the Digital Era, Our Dictionaries Read Us", Jennifer Howard claims that we are always using a dictionary, even when we don't know we are. When we are sending a text message or an email, or even reading a book on a table, there is a dictionary at our fingertips. Some people might disagree because when we are looking up how to spell something, is when we are using a dictionary. Although, other people will agree that using an electronic is also using the dictionary. For example, when we are sending a text message, and we miss spell a word, our smart phones will auto-correct the word for us. Overall, we are always using a dictionary, even if we don't realize it.

Does digital piracy hurt ticket sales for movies? There are some that say that people who download movies for free do not hurt the film's sales because what if the downloader wasn't going to buy a ticket in the first place? Internet piracy of stolen films may not effect the American box office but more or less the world-wide box office. Studios and distributers often wait months before sending their films overseas. In that time their audience could've downloaded the film through such places as BitTorrent-based sites. There in the world-wide box office the movie could fail and lose potential tickets.

In “Can public education coexist with participatory culture” two brothers discuss how they hacked the school computers in the computer lab. They think it is a hilarious joke and think it is funny how easy it was to be done and how the teachers have no idea about it. The idea that is being questioned is that if education has room for something like the internet and the way it is being used now a days by young people. The internet is giving education a harder time than it is aiding the process of learning. The authors believe that the internet allows students to express their talents and show how they are unique from other students, but at the same time it is just a place to kill time. The internet is an amazing place filled with endless opportunities for tools of education but it has to be used the correct way. It is not being used the correct way and we need to learn how to use it for good.

In the excerpt, "Who Invited Sharktopus?" it argues that photography has been getting more and more outrageous as the years go on. Back in the day, couples use to only take one wedding photo, but these days, couples are hiring all different types of photographers and video recorders to shoot their weddings. Photographers are now able to take professional-like photos with just their phone just like how Emily Gutman, a San Francisco photographer, did with a wedding. For wedding photos now, people try to do more outrageous things so that they can be seen as original like with "the dinosaur shot" which is increasingly becoming more popular. With the advancements in technology, it is easy to say that there have been advancements in photography. The advancements in graphics is what causes couples to want more outrageous wedding photos.

In the article, "Not just a smiley face", by Katy Steinmetz, the author discusses emojis and how relevant they are in day to day life and the history of emojis. Emojis are popular among people today and the essay argues that emojis are changing the way we communicate by using digital code, and people are using them because they are seen as an important tool. Emojis originated in 1872 and started out with Charles Darwin using them in chronicles. Emojis, in this time period, were used to express sympathy towards other. British companies, like Emojli, have created social networks modernly where words are not used. Emojis are used as a form of communication and that is now a language. Steinmetz, Katy.

Could we have a new pop culture add-on to marriages? A brand new way of marriage is starting drifting away from the traditional weddings. The weddings are surrounded by modern pop culture of today. The the wedding being popularized by social media. Couple Kingston and Seiler who setting up their wedding day. Tony and Danielle from the Little Blue Lemon Photography company pitched them the idea of adding the AT-AT from star wars since they are fans. As soon the wedding was over the picture of their wedding spread all over the internet which started on the web site io9 then it appeared all over the internet. Then the Lombardo family was inspired by another wedding photo with a T-rex chasing the bride and groom. With that a another monster was made called the “Sharktopus” featured in the blog from a bachelorette party of Rebecca Cooper. Related to those things some couples like to replace them selves in movie posters and have themselves on some random movie poster of their liking. The popularity of wedding photos dates back to the 1840s from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Some couples use popular social media apps instead of expensive cameras they all post it on instagram using hash-tags and more. When doing something like the dinosaur will get more likes rather than an normal wedding photo. With this on the rise we don't need to do this because this is mostly popularized by the people that are most fans of a thing they like or just complete “nerds” and would prefer something less professional and more mature. The maturity of couples are changing and they are acting like kids rather than doing something professional. The picture will last forever and will be remembered by generation after generation of your family and could be laughed at or dishonored by other family members.

In the article, “Who said we were friends?”, Julia de Laurentiis Johnson argues that common ethics and manners and those who follow them are important and great, but the people who are skilled socially truly can, please and have a significant impact on those around them. First, those who consider their co-workers as “friends”, expecting any kind of invitation, do not understand that colleagues or co-workers may not have the same ideas or interests as you do outside of a work area, but simply act like they do in order to maintain a healthy work environment because being polite to people above all just to socially be happy, is proper etiquette. Secondly, it is a big social issue of this generation to constantly share and state what you are doing at any given time of the day, which can be a big problem and cause distraught to any work area, because personal info is clashing with professional information and does not help anyone socially. However, everyone is different, and may not necessarily have good social skills, while keeping to themselves. But, often when someone stands up to have a conversation with someone, that person who keeps to themselves tends to look and comment or judge what another person looks like in a bad way, instead of focusing on the conversation at hand or whatever they seem to be doing, thus, we can change ourselves but we cannot change the office or work area around us. Therefore, it is important to distinguish proper etiquette, and good social skills, as they are different, but connect to each other as one who knows etiquette is important, but one who is efficient socially can better influence those around them.

Are movies truly at a death kneel now due to the increasing profit video games bring to their developers compared to movies? in Derek Chezzi's "Star-Studded Games" he argues that due to the increasing availability of video games in the mainstream market, many have begun to switch their prime form of entertainment from movie nights to game nights. Many stars and producers, having been brought up from the first generation of gamers, now look forward to having roles games, such as the actor Vin Diesel, who, due to the influx of sub par movie to game adaptation, had launched his own gaming company to reproduce one of his famed roles, "The Chronicle of Riddick" while others, such as esteemed actor BRIAN BLESSED, provide voice acting for other games that they enjoy. personally, I myself see that in the near future, video games would overtake most other digital art as the prime entertainment form for people due to how for the last few generations, children have been constantly exposed to them and with the increasing state of technology the world has, so too will the games improve until one day, virtual reality will be "reality" instead of a dream
How do we avoid colleague/pal confusion and etiquette fails in a modern office? In the article “Who said we were friends?” the author, Julia De Laurentiis Johnson states the many etiquettes that one must show while in the workforce. One should pretend to be busy if you are not interested in something someone else is showing you because it is rude to seem bored but not rude to seem busy. Researchers show that people get frustrated when others get distracted with electronic devices during their jobs because of boredom. Having electronic devices in hand during jobs is rude even if you assume the people you are working with do not mind. There are problems when one’s job and personal information are in one place. There are many cases where people are exposed at work because of their complaints or rude comments about their jobs posted on Facebook. Instances like this is what causes many arguments at work. Other researchers like Miss Manners think that treating people the way you would like to be treated is not enough to follow.

In the article “Where Have All the Rock Stars Gone?” the author explains how music has changed in the last fifty years and the meaning of stardom has diminished. Technology has revolutionized the way we listen to music. Some decades ago everybody listen to the same music because having a radio or car radio was the only thing available and it was public. Now we can created our own private playlist from our iPod, computers, and phones. At the same time artist’s stardom has shifted because fewer people are interested enough to pay attention. The Beatles, Elvis Presley, and James Brown among other in the 1960s became something that connected people together as still is because they become a cultural icon that is something modern day artist find it challenge. Present artists can open new horizons and opportunities but they had become less political and less culturally central.

In this digital age people tend to create their own personal selves that are actually separate from who they actually are. The internet and most forms of social communication are no longer things in which you can just be yourself. These mediums that we communicate with are open to all forms of judgment, whether it be friends, family, or even professional colleagues. Because there was an essential transition of digital social media being just a source of communication and a veil of security that would allow for ‘open-mindedness’, this freedom has eventually led to the system being very structured in which most people who have influence on these media outlets will be more cautious of what they say. Because of the way online communication is structured it often does not offer the meaning or context something would if you were speaking with a human being; or if you were in a certain environment in person. This leads to a ‘Context-collapse’ in which all the possibilities of being seen as wrong by other people come forth, so you do your best to remain as bland as possible and not hinting toward anything, as to not offend anyone. This does create a lack of creativity, and enthusiasm; when that creativity shows it does however follow the original purpose of the internet’s ability to express yourself, and also create your image based off your uniqueness which can possibly be more successful than the alternative of blandness.

Is the emoji changing the way we communicate? The author of “ not just a smiley face” Katy Steinmetz, who argued that the emoji has developed to a worldwide language, it changed and improved human online communication. Before the era of the emoji, people mainly communicated through pictures, such as comics,and emotion with punctuation, etc. The emoji was named by the Japanese words for picture and character. The emoji is giving people a more clear imagination of the emotion that person tried to express, by adding a emoji icon at the end of a text, tweets, or a post on Facebook. A lots of big companies, such as the Unicode Consortium, also see big potential in these little icons. Lastly, the emoji indeed improved the digital communication, and can become a based language.

Pop culture is changing our traditional way of marriage. As modern pop culture takes over our marriage it is influencing the ways of how a picture is made. Popular movie Star Wars starting this new fad. The couple Couple Kingston and Seiler hired a proffesional wedding photo taker to edit it with a Star Wars theme. Their photo spread around the internet with the help of social media this became popular and started something. Other ideas like adding a shark and octopus mutation to a photo of wedded couple being chased by a T-Rex. Another thing that replaced a professional photographer is the phone. With its camera people can just take a picture and send it strait to the internet. With social media influencing everything, everyone could start to divert from the traditional 1800s ways of taking a photograph of someones wedding. The maturity of couples are changing and they are acting like kids rather than doing something professional. The picture will last forever and will be remembered by generation after generation.

ReplyDeleteThe digital era we live in today makes it almost impossible to be certain that what we say even behind closed doors will stay private. Just because we use an email and send it to one person, does not mean that it will stay private between you and the sender. Search engines now have our history of previous sites we have gone to, and may or may not be willing to send this information out for the right price. Although the internet may seem totally open to the public, there are ways that you can hide information so that your life stays private aside from what you openly tell others. The Internet is an amazing tool for us to use, and many times privacy seems to be a hot topic. But if one becomes so worried about what they say or do on the internet, then maybe you should step back and reconsider what you say online because anything you say may get out and do more damage than good.

DeleteShawn Francis Peters explores the effects of digital culture and social media in conjunction with the way students react to the change in teaching style in the article "Diverse Students Go Digital". Peters explains that not all students learn the same way, but all students are more engaged and willing to learn when the coursework and lectures are interesting and practical. Through his trial and errors, he has come to the conclusion that using technology to provide examples that the students are familiar with, allows them to form different questions and analyze their own thoughts on the subject. Furthermore, the use of multiple forms of technology have been shown to provide a more clear understanding of subjects for students who struggle to make the connections from a text. Creating a process that appeals to the students' experiences allows them to re-think their core assumptions and beliefs. Though many people struggle to see the benefits of technology in the classroom, Peters' information goes to show that a relation with the new ideas and your own experiences can be brought together through social media and the digital world to create a whole new way to learn.

DeleteThe Dead ball era was a time in baseball history between 1900-1919 were hitters strategized more with bunts, sac flys, and stealing bases to score runs. During this era pitching was dominant and there were few hits, and home runs were very rare. Now it seems as if pitching has hit its peck again! A perfect game is when a pitcher keeps the opponent at no runs, no hits, and no walks. Rarely we will see a perfect game come about maybe a few times per decade, but in 2012 we saw three! And this year alone there has been three no hitters. A no hitter is almost like a perfect game but the pitcher gives up a least one walk. Is the Dead ball era coming back or will we ever see as much home runs again?

Brent, please redo. The assignment was to pick an article that dealt with digital culture.
DeleteDoes the digital culture and age change how our lives are? The author says that the digital culture of lives today will change how things are but it can't change everything. WE choose how to use the computers. The computers don't choose for us. On the other hand though, it can in fact change our lives completely because as technology grows we will depend more on it and start throwing out the outdated ways of research and pleasure. I definitely agree that life can change completely but there are things that have to stay the same. No matter how advanced technology is there are old techniques that can't be overlooked and thrown away. Technology will ultimately change our life and have an impact in it but not everything can change because we are focused on things too much and can't escape certain habits good or bad.

DeleteCan hackers actually bring good to the digital culture? In the article, "Hackers as Tricksters of the Digital Age: Creativity in Hacker Culture", it is difficult to determine if what the hacker is doing, is good. It depends on the situation or what the hacker is hacking. Hackers and tricksters are able to do things that are unheard of in the digital world. Although, what they hack has pros and cons depending on whether or not what they hack is for public service, or taking down a site. I think that hackers and tricksters can make public services, digitally, better. If what they hack is needed to make something better, rather than taking it down, or doing something else that isn't needed.

DeleteIn the article "This Time its Personal.", the authors state that the driving trend of the digital revolution is ourselves. Technology is being created to cater to our needs and what is fast and convenient for us. Company's are creating handheld devices that we can take on the go, systems that are a lot faster, and DVR settings so we can watch our shows when we want to not when the TV airs them. Digital Entertainment is now created in a way that we can create our own entertainment. If something is not the way you like it you have the power to change it and make it how you want it to be. Although the digital revolution may have fallen short of its hype it is certainly not dead and is continuing to rapidly grow.

DeleteIn the article "Playing it cool", Rebecca Dana goes over how a company called Vice is changing the way news is spread through todays society. Vice was founded in 1994, and over the years has dramatically changed. It started as a magazine, and has worked its way to covering news. The interesting, and appealing, thing about Vice's trendy way of reporting news, is that they go into the action head on. Like one of them said "We do smart things in a dumb way, and dumb things in a smart way.". Vice is known for its very low age of employment, averaged 26 years of age. Vice plans on covering a vast majority of the news that the public eye sees. In a nut shell, he is changing what is being allowed to be seen in a very little time gap.

Some people might disagree because when we are looking up how to spell something, is when we are using a dictionary. Although, other people will agree that using an electronic is also using the dictionary.

DeleteIn “Can public education coexist with participatory culture” two brothers discuss how they hacked the school computers in the computer lab. They think it is a hilarious joke and think it is funny how easy it was to be done and how the teachers have no idea about it. The idea that is being questioned is that if education has room for something like the internet and the way it is being used now a days by young people. The internet is giving education a harder time than it is aiding the process of learning. The authors believe that the internet allows students to express their talents and show how they are unique from other students, but at the same time it is just a place to kill time. The internet is an amazing place filled with endless opportunities for tools of education but it has to be used the correct way. It is not being used the correct way and we need to learn how to use it for good.

DeleteIn the excerpt, "Who Invited Sharktopus?" it argues that photography has been getting more and more outrageous as the years go on. Back in the day, couples use to only take one wedding photo, but these days, couples are hiring all different types of photographers and video recorders to shoot their weddings. Photographers are now able to take professional-like photos with just their phone just like how Emily Gutman, a San Francisco photographer, did with a wedding. For wedding photos now, people try to do more outrageous things so that they can be seen as original like with "the dinosaur shot" which is increasingly becoming more popular. With the advancements in technology, it is easy to say that there have been advancements in photography. The advancements in graphics is what causes couples to want more outrageous wedding photos.

DeleteIn the article, "Not just a smiley face", by Katy Steinmetz, the author discusses emojis and how relevant they are in day to day life and the history of emojis. Emojis are popular among people today and the essay argues that emojis are changing the way we communicate by using digital code, and people are using them because they are seen as an important tool. Emojis originated in 1872 and started out with Charles Darwin using them in chronicles. Emojis, in this time period, were used to express sympathy towards other. British companies, like Emojli, have created social networks modernly where words are not used. Emojis are used as a form of communication and that is now a language.

DeleteCould we have a new pop culture add-on to marriages? A brand new way of marriage is starting drifting away from the traditional weddings. The weddings are surrounded by modern pop culture of today. The the wedding being popularized by social media. Couple Kingston and Seiler who setting up their wedding day. Tony and Danielle from the Little Blue Lemon Photography company pitched them the idea of adding the AT-AT from star wars since they are fans. As soon the wedding was over the picture of their wedding spread all over the internet which started on the web site io9 then it appeared all over the internet. Then the Lombardo family was inspired by another wedding photo with a T-rex chasing the bride and groom. With that a another monster was made called the “Sharktopus” featured in the blog from a bachelorette party of Rebecca Cooper. Related to those things some couples like to replace them selves in movie posters and have themselves on some random movie poster of their liking. The popularity of wedding photos dates back to the 1840s from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Some couples use popular social media apps instead of expensive cameras they all post it on instagram using hash-tags and more. When doing something like the dinosaur will get more likes rather than an normal wedding photo. With this on the rise we don't need to do this because this is mostly popularized by the people that are most fans of a thing they like or just complete “nerds” and would prefer something less professional and more mature. The maturity of couples are changing and they are acting like kids rather than doing something professional. The picture will last forever and will be remembered by generation after generation of your family and could be laughed at or dishonored by other family members.

DeleteIn the article, “Who said we were friends?”, Julia de Laurentiis Johnson argues that common ethics and manners and those who follow them are important and great, but the people who are skilled socially truly can, please and have a significant impact on those around them. First, those who consider their co-workers as “friends”, expecting any kind of invitation, do not understand that colleagues or co-workers may not have the same ideas or interests as you do outside of a work area, but simply act like they do in order to maintain a healthy work environment because being polite to people above all just to socially be happy, is proper etiquette. Secondly, it is a big social issue of this generation to constantly share and state what you are doing at any given time of the day, which can be a big problem and cause distraught to any work area, because personal info is clashing with professional information and does not help anyone socially. However, everyone is different, and may not necessarily have good social skills, while keeping to themselves. But, often when someone stands up to have a conversation with someone, that person who keeps to themselves tends to look and comment or judge what another person looks like in a bad way, instead of focusing on the conversation at hand or whatever they seem to be doing, thus, we can change ourselves but we cannot change the office or work area around us. Therefore, it is important to distinguish proper etiquette, and good social skills, as they are different, but connect to each other as one who knows etiquette is important, but one who is efficient socially can better influence those around them.

DeleteAre movies truly at a death kneel now due to the increasing profit video games bring to their developers compared to movies? in Derek Chezzi's "Star-Studded Games" he argues that due to the increasing availability of video games in the mainstream market, many have begun to switch their prime form of entertainment from movie nights to game nights. Many stars and producers, having been brought up from the first generation of gamers, now look forward to having roles games, such as the actor Vin Diesel, who, due to the influx of sub par movie to game adaptation, had launched his own gaming company to reproduce one of his famed roles, "The Chronicle of Riddick" while others, such as esteemed actor BRIAN BLESSED, provide voice acting for other games that they enjoy. personally, I myself see that in the near future, video games would overtake most other digital art as the prime entertainment form for people due to how for the last few generations, children have been constantly exposed to them and with the increasing state of technology the world has, so too will the games improve until one day, virtual reality will be "reality" instead of a dream

ReplyDeleteIn the article “Who said we were friends?” the author, Julia De Laurentiis Johnson states the many etiquettes that one must show while in the workforce. One should pretend to be busy if you are not interested in something someone else is showing you because it is rude to seem bored but not rude to seem busy. Researchers show that people get frustrated when others get distracted with electronic devices during their jobs because of boredom. Having electronic devices in hand during jobs is rude even if you assume the people you are working with do not mind. There are problems when one’s job and personal information are in one place. There are many cases where people are exposed at work because of their complaints or rude comments about their jobs posted on Facebook. Instances like this is what causes many arguments at work. Other researchers like Miss Manners think that treating people the way you would like to be treated is not enough to follow.

Technology has revolutionized the way we listen to music. Some decades ago everybody listen to the same music because having a radio or car radio was the only thing available and it was public. Now we can created our own private playlist from our iPod, computers, and phones. At the same time artist’s stardom has shifted because fewer people are interested enough to pay attention. The Beatles, Elvis Presley, and James Brown among other in the 1960s became something that connected people together as still is because they become a cultural icon that is something modern day artist find it challenge.

In Defense of Getting Personal, a Summary:
ReplyDeleteIn this digital age people tend to create their own personal selves that are actually separate from who they actually are. The internet and most forms of social communication are no longer things in which you can just be yourself. These mediums that we communicate with are open to all forms of judgment, whether it be friends, family, or even professional colleagues. Because there was an essential transition of digital social media being just a source of communication and a veil of security that would allow for ‘open-mindedness’, this freedom has eventually led to the system being very structured in which most people who have influence on these media outlets will be more cautious of what they say. Because of the way online communication is structured it often does not offer the meaning or context something would if you were speaking with a human being; or if you were in a certain environment in person. This leads to a ‘Context-collapse’ in which all the possibilities of being seen as wrong by other people come forth, so you do your best to remain as bland as possible and not hinting toward anything, as to not offend anyone. This does create a lack of creativity, and enthusiasm; when that creativity shows it does however follow the original purpose of the internet’s ability to express yourself, and also create your image based off your uniqueness which can possibly be more successful than the alternative of blandness.

The emoji is giving people a more clear imagination of the emotion that person tried to express, by adding a emoji icon at the end of a text, tweets, or a post on Facebook.

DeletePop culture is changing our traditional way of marriage. As modern pop culture takes over our marriage it is influencing the ways of how a picture is made. Popular movie Star Wars starting this new fad. The couple Couple Kingston and Seiler hired a proffesional wedding photo taker to edit it with a Star Wars theme. Their photo spread around the internet with the help of social media this became popular and started something. Other ideas like adding a shark and octopus mutation to a photo of wedded couple being chased by a T-Rex. Another thing that replaced a professional photographer is the phone. With its camera people can just take a picture and send it strait to the internet. With social media influencing everything, everyone could start to divert from the traditional 1800s ways of taking a photograph of someones wedding. The maturity of couples are changing and they are acting like kids rather than doing something professional. The picture will last forever and will be remembered by generation after generation.
