Blogs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each Blog\u00a0summarizes, analyzes and provides my personal input for a specific assigned reading. Each reading relates to the overarching topic of the course. \u00a0The blogs cover specific topics from current issues surrounding the internet to the possibilities for the future of internet and technology. The writing for theses blogs really allowed for me to engage in\u00a0\u00a0major uses, features, and forms of writing for electronic media.<\/p>\n

Online barting culture – connections made. Source: Flickr<\/p><\/div>\n

For this project we searched and found an online culture. The project is\u00a0an ethnographic\u00a0report on GameTZ, am online bartering culture.\u00a0I defined what an online culture meant: among other things, it\u00a0relies heavily on the notion of information and knowledge exchange. And I then connected GameTZ with the definition.\u00a0\u00a0The culture has the internet as its primary site of operation and carries equal characteristics of a “real life” culture\u00a0such as stories, symbols, history, rules and much more.<\/p>\n

This project is a research-based argument that encourages civic engagement for children.\u00a0The core of this project is a tactical video that I created. The main argument for this project was to make stricter regulations for the media aimed at children. The reason for this argument is the arising issue that I hope to make parents aware of: children are being pushed to grow up too fast and are losing their childhood.<\/p>\n

In this project my group covered a focused analysis of reoccurring themes in Cory\u00a0Doctorow’s novel\u00a0Little Brother<\/em>. Our group focus on government\u00a0tracking of individuals in today’s society.\u00a0As a complement to the project we wrote\u00a0a script for a remix of\u00a0Little Brother’<\/em>s sequel, Homeland<\/em>\u00a0and created a machinima video based on this script. The video really illustrates how the technologies of tomorrow are here today and it’s being utilized to surveil and track society’s every move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
