New iPhone Application!

Application called Find My Friends!

This article is about the Find My Friends application and this guy who found out his wife was cheating on him with this application.

So what do you think about this application? Cool? Creepy?
Personally I find this new application to be scary and creepy.

Just wanted to share this! Have a nice weekend ENG 101!

homework 3: remix

original:


Remix:



I choose this particular video because my friends really thought that the remix was just as good as the original video with a smaller amount of budget. The singer in this video sound just as great and you can actually focus on the song apposed to the last video which switches the mood every 2 seconds. I personally think many people wouldn't mind listening to this video over and over. I also happened to read the comments many of the viewers actually loved it.

Sharing is caring!

Love your iPhone!

"As we embrace new technology that does everything but kiss us on the mouth, we risk cutting ourselves off from human interaction. For many, the iPhone has become a best friend, partner, lifeline, companion and, yes, even a Valentine. The man or woman we love most may be seated across from us in a romantic Paris bistro, but his or her 8GB, 16GB or 32GB rival lies in wait inside our pockets and purses."

You Love Your iPhone. Literally.

Looking at the multiple meanings and representations of images

The following images are examples of different forms of user-generated content. One is a piece of artwork, the other is a photograph of a banner, and the last image is a digital image that was created utilizing online sources.

When you look at this image, what do you see? Think about the differences between literal meaning and hidden meaning. What do you understand about this image? Do you recognize the charaters in the image? Do you recognize the setting represented in the image? How does this image represent what is produced, consumed and accepted (or rejected) by your culture?

What do you see in this image? How is this an example of user-generated content? How is it vastly different from the user-generated content produced on Youtube or on Facebook? Are there any literal and hidden meanings? If so, what are they? What sort of background information does one need to possess in order to read and understand the image (and message) of this banner?

This is an image that appeared this weekend on my Facebook feed. Many of my friends were sharing it. A classic form of user-generated content, its producer is unknown yet this image/message/content has spread throughout the internet. What are the literal meanings in this image? What sort of statement is this message trying to convey? What are the specific steps that the producer is making to convey the message in this image?

I didn't get partners or an assignment for the thing you told us
