MEME's!

  I’m sure everyone has seen the Dos Equis beer commercial with “The Most Interesting Man in the World” while flipping through the various channels on TV. Well the meme I decided to do this mission on is based on this commercial. The meme is basically a picture of “The Most Interesting Man in the World” with text saying “I don’t always…, but when I do…” on the top and bottom of the picture. I think the message that this meme is trying to send to the public is that if you want to be the “Most Interesting Man,” you will make the same decisions that he would make. This particular meme is probably popular because most to all people have seen this commercial before, which makes it effective and catchy to the public. In general, I feel that these memes are popular around the world because they are short and to the point, where anyone can view it in a matter of seconds. On the other hand, these memes are pretty short-lived because they spread so fast because of the internet and they get old fast. Memes can definitely be used for purposes other than just entertainment. For example, memes can be used for marketing purposes because people usually remember those kinds of things since they’re so catchy and to the point.

Life off the grid.

From the beginning that I decided to take this mission my day started to go by much slower. I usually use my cell phone to listen to music on my soundcloud app, while walking to class and in between classes. It made the walk a lot less enjoyable and long I felt like. I also had the terrible habit of reaching for my phone in my pocket but I left it at home to help me out. It made class longer and everything a lot longer I felt like. The worst part about this experience was not being able to communicate with important people all day and night, for example my brother and girlfriend. But like you said to do I told both of them in advance! I felt that I was not missing anything truly important but on the other hand I would constantly be reaching for my cell phone even though I didn’t have it on me and then immediately wishing that I had my cell phone. I guess you could say I’m connected so much to my cell phone that I felt like an addict of some kind. On a better note it made interaction with others a lot more rewarding and enjoyable. I was very interactive in my classes and took exceptional notes! But seriously. I normally use my phone for three reasons; the first in contacting people that’s the most important, second is MUSIC! Third are Google maps. Luckily I didn’t have to find anywhere to eat out! I did not realize that I relied on my cell phone that much, by taking one day off I felt disconnected from the outside world and alone almost. After a long day at school and the gym I just stayed home and chilled. But all day I felt as if I was in my own world and no one knew what I was doing or anything. I think that this was a good experience to do but it made me think of actually not having a phone for a long period of time and I would just feel lost and lame. I cannot go without my cell phone in today’s day and age! But I am glad that this experience is over and I have my cell phone back with my Facebook app and music!!!! I think when I have my cell phone I mostly use it to go on Facebook, that’s mostly what I do on it during the day. Things that I did to help me past the time mostly was watching TV & movies..a lot of movies! Also going to the gym, so in all I kept myself busy! Hope you liked my experience and hopefully I never have to go without my cellular device again!

This Ain't Your Grandpa's Napster

In recent years the website Instagram has taken our generation by storm. Instagram is an online photo sharing and social networking service that enables its users to take pictures, apply digital filters to them, and share them on a variety of social networking services, such as other social media sites including Facebook or Twitter. Although Instagram seems too be like Facebook and Twitter is has very different distinct features that make it different. For example picture editing and # (hash tag) options.

Some history “Instagram was created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger and launched in October 2010. The service rapidly gained popularity, with over 100 million registered users (and around 90 million monthly active users) as of January 2013. Instagram is distributed through the Apple app store and Google Play." 

The target audience and users are mostly for people who are ages 14 and up I would say. The user needs to know how to use computers and have good technology skills to edit pictures and work the website. College students use this website too communicate and show off their photography and photogenic skills! Instagram can also be used to advertise products and even to show the world an awesome random picture! With Instagram you can find almost any picture or catergory you wish! 

Yes Instagram’s founders and owners are a for-profit venture. They have many backers and investors. Instagram is very legal and is used by almost every celebrity and movie start in America. Instagram’s biggest competition would have to be Facebook. Both target younger generations and both are easy to get addicted too! With the use of Instagram creators will gain more investors seeing how popular it has become, consumers will continue to find great ways to better use its features and media companies will have to work hard to find that next big thing to “wow” the public. Instagram as of right now is the new big social media site in my opinion.

Copyright Video! Monday 3/11/13

Today Sean showed us a very interesting and intriguing video in class. The clip went over different copyright laws and loopholes per-say.  I thought the video explained a lot about the different copyright laws and the speaker when over a lot of the different things that cannot be copyrighted. Her biggest topic was the issue about fashion designers not being able to get copyrights to their designes. Like hair cuts, fashion designes do not qualify for patents and copyrights. She also talks about how other countries are trying different things to make it so that people cannot "knock off" higher end brand name clothes. In all the fashion designers themselves say that their revenue has not been affected too much because the customers that buy the knock off items are not their customers and a knock off will never be the original. I dont believe that knock offs are a good thing but they can also be looked at as a good thing. When a knock off is made it can make that specific fashion available to someone who has less money and can keep that fashion alive. In my opinion if the market for high end clothing is not affected then I dont think they should enact a copyright law against knock off clothing.

Digging Tunnels, 14 stories below New York City

In recent news by CNN I read a interesting article about New York City digging tunnels 14 stories deep that will be used to join the transportation system! Beneath Manhattan's busy streets and outside of NYC, right now the largest transportation project in the country is under way. The project consist of workers working day and night hollowing out granite to create six miles of new tunnels 14 stories below the surface. When all the work is done it is said that 32,000 feet of new tunnels will be available for under ground transportation. This project is not new began in 2006, but because of the magnitude of the project the expected finish date has been pushed back multiple times causing work to progress and stop! Now they are saying that these new tunnels will be finished in 2019. In this article the never speak about the cost of a project this big, the cost of something like this must be enormous! Is it real worth 32,000 feet of new tunnels under ground? I think the real question to be ask is if they will be still relevant by the finish date. New innovations are invented every year and with every new invention things change. I just hope that the tunnels are put to good use and the hard earned money of the tax payers dollars do not go to waste. On a brighter note these tunnels must be a marval to see and experience.

Drug launching cannon??

In recent news from CNN a drug cannon was found on Mexican soil by Mexican police. Mexican smugglers have used tunnels, cars, boats and even human body in attempts to sneak drugs past U.S. agents in an endless cat and mouse game on the United States boarder. Now drug smugglers have invented a new way to get their drugs across the boarder in the form of cannons. This "drug cannon" uses high power air compression to shoots bags of drugs over the boarder to retrievers on the American side for late night retrievals. These cannons have the ability to shoot canisters filled with drugs up too 500 feet away. Accurate or not the drugs make it over and it is up too the retrievers to find them. With this new invention what will the come up with next? In my opinion I find its really sad that people will go to such lengths to create such things. The war on drugs for the American/Mexican boarder has not gotten any better and with new inventions like these it doesn't seem like it will be slowing down anytime in the near future. With this new cannon discovery this brings up the question: What will they think of next??
