Media Irony and In class Asignment number 3

MEDIA IRONY
In the ad, the Mac says that the PC "is a wizard with numbers and dresses like a gentleman". The PC is able to say that the Mac is "better with creative stuff", but quickly qualifies such behavior as "completely juvenile and a waste of time".
Wait... I thought Apple was the one running the slander campaign?

In Class asignment number three: a broad introduction to the Web 2.0 paper

The internet has become a universal way of communicating. Web 2.0 allows many people whether through Avatar sites, YouTube or blogging to add information to the internet. The popularity of these sights has added to the communication and sharing of people all over the world. Now people can share things such as movies and pictures through the internet without having to be a computer wiz.

Cubism and what this picture means to me

This image struck me because chagal took an everyday situation such as a meal and broke it up into pieces and put it back together. Some of the peices are not exactly put together right or some of them are missing this is very interesting. He was able to take every day objects and take away a paice of them drawing attention to these objects and making people study them. Sometimes all it takes is a few peices to be removed for people to notice there beauty. He didnt see art as being rigid. I look at fruit everyday and would never see it like this.

Time Magazine article peer review

The time article is very shortly summarized, more information may be necessary in order to understand her opposition with the article. The essay focuses more on her objections with the internet rather without thoroughly describing why “you” is the person of the year, and how that applies to the internet. She gives a statement about the article but fails to acknowledge why now the internet has become so important, even though it was invented over sixty years ago. It is necessary to discuss more of the technological advances that allow people to unite and share more of themselves. The summary is very broad but all the ideas represented are original and portray the essence of the Time article. The summary may be more helpful if you were previously familiar with the article.
Her point of disagreement is clearly stated in the article. The article points out that the reason why you are the person of the year is because of Web 2.0 people can come together and share a part of you with other people, and maybe even help others. Lev Grossman seems to be aggrandizing the internet and Yael seems to believe that the internet has its flaws. As stated in the last line of the opening paragraph “Examining information on Internet addiction leads one to question this idea, as the negativity of the Internet may outweigh the positive.” The time person of the year presented a band wagon effect, the article held under assumption that the internet is universally beneficial.
It seems that Yael argued very well a basic argument against the flaws of over use of the internet. It was more of a general argument against the essence of the Time article, rather than taking issue with a specific point. Although by the end of the paper her argument against the flaws of the internet were very nicely summed up and presented. She gave good proof as to the flaws of the internet and tackled her thesis in an individual well thought out way. I believe that her evidence was well organized and she gave examples for all different types of people she did not just think about herself.

peer avatar characterization

Yael is the type of person who is fun loving yet a tom boy at the same time. You can tell by her interests tat she is not a girly girl, she likes playing sports and watching active comedies like Happy Gilmore. She seems like the type of person who feels at home around guys, and would cringe at the thought of a day at a beauty spa. Yael would be a great person to go to a baseball game with, and enjoy some hot dogs

In class asignment number two

I believe that the average person enjoys using these Avatar sites because it givs them a gateway to see into other people's lives, and a way to express their creativity. These sites have become the social networking system of our generation. These Avatar sites give you a chance to jump start a new friendship or keep in touch with old firends. The Avatar site allows you to access perosnal information about other people so that you can make judgements about whether you want to be friends with them. The avatar site represents the mixer of our generation. It no longer takes time to get to know someone now you can view their personality profile and see what they are like.
