dirty laundry

Ok another day we discuss MySpace and facebook today’s articles were facebook and divorce: airing dirty laundry; how safe is MySpace?; MySpace v. facebook competing addictions; MySpace launches a free music revolution; facebook exodus; facebooking your way out of tenure and how not to loose face on facebook, for professors. Really MySpace and facebook are not very good places to be putting stuff up that might affect you dirty laundry is not always good. Anyone can make a fake profile and pose as someone else just to get s peek of your private profile and use it against you. We all have to be more careful what we do online because you never know who might be watching some can actually loose their jobs over just a picture on facebook or MySpace. What we do out of work and school should not always be published for the world to see really I know I am more careful of what I put up because I never know who might be watching me I wouldn’t want one picture or comment or even a status update ruin something anything really. The articles gave us examples of real life experiences with such things. Honestly I don’t think anyone should go on what is seen on a web page but it does tell a lot about you so maybe we should just be more cautious but no one should invade someone else’s privacy either outside of what we do and what we do professionally is two different things. Yes we all like to have fun and yea sometimes we al do things we are not so proud of but that’s what we do outside the business world that doesn’t determine how we work or anything unless it affect your work then that’s another story. I think we are all free to do what we want on our free time just don’t publish it all because you wouldn’t want to regret it later when your out of a job over a dumb night and a dumb picture that was put up that night right? Always be professional don’t ever put up anything u know that might get you in trouble and come back and bite you in the butt. There are many cases that determine the appearance of MySpace and someone’s facebook on the outcome of things I know for sure I am going to be a lot more careful I never know who might be watching.

handheld learning conference 2008

This must have been one of the most boringest that’s not a word but it was really boring video ever seen I really don’t know what it was about I was paying attention but ahh it just dragged really bad the last video was better it was funny and more entertaining but school assignments are not always fun right? Honestly I don’t even know what to write in this blogg I its suppose to be 400 words but that video really wasn’t interesting at all so I have nothing to say about it hmm ill think about it and edit later yes?

putting it together

Putting together our compare and contrast essay wasn’t as easy as we thought they are so many differences and similarities that I didn’t know were to start in class we completed a work sheet to help us determine how to focus on the content of our essay. It helped yes but i am still confused i am not sure what I want to do it on comparing the two sites or contrast. Eventually I will figure it out it shouldn’t be too hard maybe when I go to the writing center they can give me a better understanding of what i am doing in my essay. Its hard to just focus on one of the two because I get caught up and start comparing and contrasting instead of sticking to one go keep going with it. The ideas where all there but it got harder when needed to be explained in some sort of detail that’s when I got my brain thinking and working. Going back and exploring the sites helped a lot actually taking thins hands on and doing the research. My team members did the same and took into consideration doing this hands on and going that extra mile and doing the necessary research.

myspace and facebook

Computer lab it was today exploring MySpace and facebook I didn’t have to make either profiles because I already had them. For my future essay I had to use both networking sites more often to learn more about them both because I don’t use them as much as I use to and they both have changed in time. They both have a lot of similarities but also very different. I like both sites probably equally the same they both kind of bore me to tell you the truth is so last year it is not as fun as when I first go them. Yes it’s a good way to stay in touch and a good way to meet new people but now we all have cell phones we all text but honestly speaking for myself I communicate to people more over they two sites then I do texting. We all are too busy to text someone back or answer a phone call but for some reason we all have time to get on the two most popular networking sites MySpace and facebook. Amazing right, yes it is if we made a survey and asked everyone how they keep in touch the answer would not be by networking i am sure of it also we started writing our compare or contrast essay having to do with MySpace and facebook. You would think it would be the easiest assignment ever just because we all use the sites on an everyday basis but nope it wasn’t as easy as we all thought its hard because you may think u know everything but we don’t there’s always new things we having encountered on the sites. They are both time consuming that’s for sure we all get caught up on them they are both a huge distraction they are addiction almost. When doing hw and sitting and typing who doesn’t get the urge to take a “break” and visit the two most popular networking sites in the world 15 minutes ends up to being an hour trust me I know. It’s addicting what can I say. We all do it don’t deny it some do it all day while others can just settle with checking it once a week. Now that there is apps for MySpace and facebook I can check it anywhere anytime with a touch of a button that’s bad see addicted that’s kind of embarrassing isn’t it?

body image

Killing us softly 3; dove evolution; and dove onslaught and articles Brazilian obesity: the big girl form panama and health and fitness: snip, suction, stretch and truss were today’s articles and videos they were all basically about the body image and what it should look like and how the media shows it. We all different in may ways and forms everyone is beautiful in there own way but the media makes us think of what we should look like in some of the videos they enhanced the pictures after they were taken. Why would u enchase a picture that was meant to show the work natural beauty? Girls are already paranoid about they’re looks it doesn’t make us feel better when the pictures on the magazines are enhanced to look ten times better and we wanting to look like them when in reality they don’t even look like that. I know I wouldn’t want my picture enhanced because I am who I am why change it. These articles and videos made me think and now when I look into magazines and bill boards instead of saying omg I want her stomach or omg I want her eyebrows or something dumb like that I now just realized they are photoshoped and they are not as perfect as they look like. Every ones flaws make them who they are if we were all perfect then where would our uniqueness go? Yes there is many ways to change your image on the outside of course, like cosmetic surgery to enhance this stretch this tuck this and nip that. A lot of men and woman to that because of what they want to look like and they want the perfect body it wouldn’t be that way if there wasn’t so maybe face pictures around making the audience double think they’re features and changing how they look. It really discussed me actually that they would go back and change the picture onto what they think is perfect it was fine to start with why mess with it. Just be happy with yourself love yourself and be confident on your looks its better to be natural then be fake. Who would want someone fake I know I wouldn’t. Beauty comes from the inside love yourself and others will too. Eat healthy exercise do it right don’t use the last resort and go fake keep it up and you will be fine!

thesis!

Creating a thesis and a draft plan for my essay wasn’t as easy as I thought they are so many things to think about so many options to pick from to write about. Writing all my ideas down and picking them out and thinking of what I wanted my essay to be took some time. Using different methods to keep my ideas together to see which one fit me best and what was easier for me to use. As I gathered my thoughts together in my head before I wrote them down. Lets see MySpace and facebook they both have comments they also have uploading pictures and videos status updates, apps, instant messenger friends you might know feature and other interesting stuff but they both work differently they both have the same features but work differently something’s are better on facebook and some are better on MySpace it is hard to choose which one I liked the best because I am kind of bored of both its all the same to me. Figuring out the little differences was sort of hard because in a weird way it is the same application but it is used differently weird right? Took me a while to figure them out too.

myspace and facebook

Articles of today were colleges scan facebook during admissions; jury out on facebook's impact on grades; facebook sparks suspicion; and does facebook replace face time or enhance it? All these articles were basically about facebook and MySpace how it impacts everyday life. Now in days we all have these networking sites and its a must have to have one of more of these pages to keep in touch or to meet new people. But by doing so we get less interaction with humans we do most of the communication online. Some colleges look the students up and that determines if they are in or not if they are good enough to attend that college that’s not fair that an invasion of privacy I think at least. What the students do outside of campus shouldn’t determine how they will do or determine that they are not good enough to attend same thing with the grades yeah it takes out time up yes it is a big distraction heck I have it on my tap right now but it all determines on the person and how dedicated they are to school we are all allowed to have a good time everyone in a while right? Yes we all post inappropriate pictures online about our fun weekend but who doesn’t or who has not done something they are not proud of or something we all have one in one point in time. Ask for the less face time we get by interacting on online sites such as facebook and MySpace it is an easier way to meet new people. Jut by leaving a “hi “ comment breaks the ice who needs to be all shy and timid when meeting someone new when u can break the ice online but in the other hand it also can be a bad thing some people abuse the privates and make fake profiles sometimes I wonder about the unknown people that add me some can be crazy psycho killers or something. Some have actually can become good friends. Meeting new people is always a good thing knowing people around the world is bad ass!! We all just have to be more careful of what we post because we never know who might see it don’t post anything up you would not let you mother see because your page reflects on you and only you. Be safe and play safe keep networking people.
