Final Assignment

I did like the class I liked all the hands on work we did with Blogger and Prezi. I did not know what I was going to expect with this class. I picked this class because it had the word digital media in it. I think my expectations were met. I think I would like to see more hands on social media networking. One positive thing about the class is that we are learning different things about the media world. One negative thing is that sine we are always on the computers I do get distracted sometimes. But I have a good time in the class.

Privacy Scavenger Hunt

California: More Privacy Towards Minors

Now that technology has skyrocketed into this new era of technology, California wants to regulate laws that pertain to California minors to protect their information in the digital world. 

But I believe that this problem should be solved by limiting certain things for age appropriate people. But this will go into effect in January 1, 2015.  

EPIC Files Complaint Against DoubleClick

EPIC is filing a complaint against DoubleClick, DoubleClick is an Internet advertising company. EPIC filed the complaint because the company is unlawfully tracking the online activities of internet users. This should be resolved by having the internet user, turn off their cookie settings. 

Driver's Policy 

The Seventh Circuit Court appeals that a federal privacy law, prevented a Chicago suburb from issuing tickets with the persons information. But the reason for this was because another law was made because a man found an actresses address through the department of motor vehicles, and he murdered her. 

But a way to resolve this is to have more security online and at the location.   

My Privacy Policies

Instagram

Their privacy policy says that they work with other companies and if they were to ever become bought by a company that our accounts will be intact but the company might also change it or keep it the same. 

Also Instagram has the right to give our information (username, passwords, etc.) for legal purposes. And they also share our information with the companies they affiliate with as well. It also automatically record a lot of things from your mobile device or computer.  

Twitter

They also record your data from your mobile device and computer. And they also share our information with third parties. And they basically have the same policies as Instagram but they have different affiliates. 

Facebook

Facebook also has the same policy privacy as Instagram and Twitter just a little bit more different. With both Twitter and Facebook they both share user's information when they buy something from the website or third party. 

Vine 

Also Vine has the same privacy policy as these other social media websites. 

I think neither has the best privacy policy because it records information from my devices which could and possibly become hacked. But Instagram does have the right to keep that from happening. So I would choose Instagram. The worst is definitely Facebook just because everything in my account can become exposed to everyone. I don't use Facebook as much and I feel okay with Instagram because my account is public but Instagram can prevent my account from being hacked. 

Group Progress Report 

Social Media - any online tool or application that goes beyond simply providing information, instead allowing collaboration, interaction, and sharing. Examples of social media include: blogs; microblogs; wikis; photo and video sharing; podcasts; virtual worlds; social networking; social news and bookmarking; web conferencing and webcasting.
We have two team members in our group.
Samuel is in charge in researching and Alicia will be stetting up and working on the presentation.  
For example:

EPA’s policy to use social media where appropriate in order to meet its mission of protecting human health and the environment. Agency product review processes in place for regional and program offices apply to EPA’s use of social media.

Blog Roll Update

Blogosphere 

Broadway World

Newsarama

Broadway World is self-explanatory, its is all about Broadway news and one article really shocked me because I am a HUGE fan of Heathers: the Musical. The article said that the short-lived off-broadway musical, which was once a movie, will maybe have a Broadway run and a movie musical to come out in 2016. But I know for a fact that the producers wouldn't have more things in store if it weren't for the fans. Thank you J. Todd Harris and Andy Flickman.
This was just important thing I had to mention but a lot of the articles of breaking news of actors/actresses leaving on a absence from a musical or if a new musical is going to open or just interviews with the stars of Broadway.

I am a big comic book freak as well and I am so glad I picked the blog Newsarama. This blog just post daily news about comic books, DC and Marvel news, and updates about future Marvel and DC movies and television shows.

Chinese Gold Farming

In both the article and the video shows that Chinese men are honestly wasting their time playing video games for 30 cents an hour. These men practically live together in one house or building, spending almost a whole day Gold Farming, which is getting gold coins for virtual weapons or amour, for gamers in America or Europe in return for money. The fact that these men have other options in doing something else in their life they choose to play games. I also think that this is starting to become a stereotype with Chinese men being gold farmers. 

The video shows the different type of businesses in the Gold Farming, and how they feel about doing their job. A majority of the men said they do it for fun, but the matter of fact is that some of the men who started this business are having to close it down because of unreliable customers.

Discussion: We will be discussing about government officials and the police department as well.

MBTI Test 


 I do agree with some of the things that my MBTI test gave me. My results were ESFP, and it stands for  Extravert, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving. It says that I am a party person and I like to entertain people. I can definitely be a party person, that is when I want to. And I love entertaining people with whatever I am good at and I like making people laugh.

It also says that when I talk with someone that I talk from thought to thought mid sentence and that is definitely true. I always do that especially when I have something important to say or if I am gossiping or if i am extremely angry. 

It also says that ESFP's like new things, but I mean who doesn't like new things. And it also says that ESFP's are attracted to elementary education, but I love working with children because they are awesome and I can always teach them something new. 

 But for some career choices was early childhood education, acting and performing, fitness, and nutrition. And there are more things but these are on the top of my list. And I agree with these options. But there are some options that I would probably never do like dressmaking and design.

Recalling the ghost of 9/11

Audio-cast

This study examines the physical and digital existence of the National 9/11 Memorial located at Ground Zero in New York City as it stood on September 12, 2011. A study shows that an app that has a tour of the memorial is more likely to effect ones perspective of the memorial rather than actually visiting the great landmark.
