Wikipedia Project By Brian Thomas

Please read my research paper on Wikipedia. Then respond within this prost your own feelings about my response to wikipedia and question you may have that my paper was unable to answer.

Some question to ask your something before reading my OWN opinion and some research about Wikipedia are:
1) What is your own opinion on Wikipedia?
2) Do you use Wikipedia as a research source?
3) Why do you think proffessors dislike students using wikipedia?
4) How do you feel the created Jimmy Wales views his creation as a speicific research resource?

Try to make the question easy to read to where I will be able to respond to your question with a clear answer. 90% of my research is based off my own opinion that Wikipedia is a great source to use as a base research site so please keep question about research items that I can answer back to you by using other sources.

Social Media

WHO is REALLY in POWER over our minds? Does old books, new websites, or CNN control our way of thinking? I believe United States is slowly falling into the BAD new media. What is bad new media.... That is when Journalist provide wrong information to readers and the READERS taking what is said, written, or watched has a TRUE fact. People need to remember the only thing that is written which is 100% true is the holy bible, but any other source is just a copy of another's work in their own words. When searching the web you have to remember that all websites are not true with their readings. Beware of what your reading and thinking about the topic before you choose to use that source as FACT.

Class Presentations

Some students power points truly show the COMPUTER skills. What do I mean? The students with little skill (like me) uses a basic powerpoint with notes and pre link/pics from websites. Other students with little bit more skill on the intent used the U tube sites with videos and sound affects with they're power points. The students that seem to master the computer used the powerpoint only as a base to connect back and forward with the intent and aid in the flow of their presentation. Those students used the intent sources provide students with better understanding of what the "Artist" creates. Thus, the assignment "Classroom Presentations" showed the teacher the levels of the students with computer skill levels and who is truly providing effort towards the class.

Question and answer for Carnivore Project

Thank you for listen to me talk about this amazing New Media Art called Carnivore Project. If you have any other question than what was asked in class or during the review please post under this POST. I will do my best to answer any question about this topic.

Epic Project week one

The teacher tells the class that the players most complete an epic chain quest to produce an A grade. Well! I am up to the task. Starting with my creation the new bookmarker website page. On top of this quest I have to complete another epic task given by the other College teachers...........

Today (09/22/2009)

Class is now starting, time to begin hopefully the second step in my journey into The World Wide Web.

Week Four, preparing for class

Class is one day away. My war tiger (a type of mount in which you ride) is becoming tried and we most rest under the shadows of the blogging world. The break will be short becuase of the hunt for new websites and networks will resume tomorrow night when I enter THE ROOM (classroom).

Week Three

Traveling inwards to the intent world! The path became dark, and seems almost endless. The quest to complete all the blogging seems weird, and trying to find the items off the intent seems hopeless. I am a true quester, so this level 72 warrior will fight on and travel this dark road to hopefully a good grade. The next quest on the list of things to complete is to find an article. I cant remember the title (maybe i should take better notes) and the quest giver (teacher) said the article will be a long read but a nice one to complete because of how the article helps create a flow for this course. If anyone, i mean anyone!, out there wish to add a note onto this page feel free to because a true quester always allows a group member to become part of his questing group and will be able to complete objective quicker and easier with aid............... for now I will travel this road alone until a new follower join this blog (quest).

Article One (Quest Number one)

The article was prefect for the first assignment for the class because it really did open my eyes to how much I use the intent to answer personal or non-personal question by using the intent. I typical, when writing or reading for a paper (quest), jump right onto Google and start my "surfing". When reading the question about the article I felt that maybe the intent is mostly positive and the only reason why people see it as bad because that is what people (the media) picks up on easily. Thus, the article called, "Is Google Making Us Stupid", is a great piece of work which could be used as a stepping stone for any argument for or against the over use of the World Wide Web.

Another good question to ask yourself about this article is: Does it cover the topic of Video gaming across the World Wide Web? I believe the answer would be "YES", because people are using the NEW LANGUAGE or WRITING like in a text form or short hand during game play. When playing World of Warcraft (WoW) players use short hand to talk with other players because the texting way is faster than using the OLD ENGLISH or PROPER ENGLISH metheds. Will these newer methods control the way we write outside of computer games? Maybe, but I feel that computers will always take a second role to true LONG HAND writing because people from around the world can understand that old type of language there the newer Text or short hand writing style.

The Beginning

Walking into the classroom to Digital Media Culture just marked the beginning of my life change towards the use of Intent!
