Final Ted Talk Presentation!!!

I have demonstrated to you all the many new changes that have taken place throughout the courses of the years on the Nintendo Game Boy Color, the Game Boy Advance SP, the DS Lite, and finally the New DSi. The main purpose of this was to prove that advancements in technology do play a major role in our lives, even when it comes to game devices...Because of the upgrade in technology, our latest Nintendo DSi features not only fun/educational games, but a camera, music player, and a voice recorder as well. It's a complete package!!! With the fast pace of technology and science, who's to know what the future Nintendo system will look like or feature. What do you think might be added??

Thank You for Listening!!!

Social Media Revision??


I don't know whether to consider this a revision of my social media project, but then again, I did make minor changes. Before, I hadn't downloaded my Myspace presentation to my blog, and so now it's definitely there. Minor changes that I made are adding a path to my presentation so that it makes it easier for the person to jump right into the next subject without getting lost or confused, and I also zoomed in on important phrases/features of Myspace that were too small, and difficult to read from before. That's pretty much it, it wasn't a lot because I felt as though I covered just about everything on Myspace, so for anyone who hasn't seen it yet..you're more than welcome to check it out..Thanks!

Nintendo!!!


For my Ted Talk presentation, I've decided to compare the old Nintendo Gameboy Color with the new improved Nintendo DS. This idea literally came out of no where, but I'm actually looking forward to presenting it to my audience. My image strategy will consist of video clips, images, and the actual mini systems brought into class...kinda like "Show & Tell" lol... There have been so many changes with this system within the years, and I'm interested in sharing these new changes with all of you..Wish me luck..

Myspace it is...

For our social media project, I've decided to present the Myspace website. The reason why I chose this website out of Facebook, Flickr, Second Life, Twitter etc... is because I find Myspace to be unique, and much more interesting/exciting. I must also admit that Myspace was one of my first social media websites that I had ever created an account with besides AIM. I made plenty of friends on this website including many that I had personally knew from school or elsewhere. I was obsessed with new comments and messages. I took a long time when it came to finding a pretty layout for my page. Adding music to my page was a plus because the music that I displayed on my page always expressed how I was feeling at the moment. I can even remember the first time when I created my first Myspace account, and my brother and I didn't go to sleep until 4 in the morning trying to hook up our page..I know what your're thinking...We're crazy right..Certainly good times. Anyway, Im going to be posting my Myspace presentation to my blog. In the presentation, you will see different features that represent the many things that you can do on Myspace such as personalizing your layout, adding more than one song to your page, adding friends, commenting on your own page or the page of others (this includes commenting on photos too), blogging, your mood status etc... Anyway, hope yous find it interesting..See ya!!!

Much Love PHILLIES!!!

"Social Objects"


The other day in class, we viewed a video on Jyri Engeström. Jyri, who works with google, had some very engaging information to say about the social media/social objects. He talked about the many different websites such as Facebook and Youtube, and how these websites tend to have an impact in our lives whether it be for a positive or negative reason. He basically brings to attention how these are all sources that connect us to everyone and everything. As much as people want to rid theirselves from this social media, it is quite a difficult task to accomplish for the fact that these social objects are irresistable. The only way that a person could actually isolate theirselves from these mobile/technology devices is if they are locked in a room for good because once they get out of that room...they'll be back to being connected with the social media once again. Hard to say, but social media is everywhere people...DEAL WITH IT!
