Thesis Sentence

Hey Peeps!

This is my Thesis Sentence.

My progression into technology as a digital native has been slow but over time as my digital community grew and my love of digital film became central to my life, I have embraced and thrived in the digital world.

This is the Word. 

Propaganda Poster

Hey Folks! This poster here is pretty much about the Communist fear that America had during WW2. In this image you see a greedy and evil looking Asian man in a Communist Uniform rubbing his hands together in a scheming fashion. The red in his hat, and the way the font of the message is written makes you think this is targeted towards the Chinese. The message that this poster is trying to say is that if you take a day off from fighting the war or take a break from being careful in your daily life, the communists will try to take advantage of that. This paints any Asian American in a bad light and can inspire fear and hatred towards that race in America. I find it incredibly racist and this poster probably came around the time they began Japanese internment camps. Scapegoating the Asain immigrants for their problems not troubles with the war and the failing economy. The symbol in the bottom corner is for the Texaco gas company. This company is probably selling fuel for the war so posters like this could help spark more trouble and more use of their gas, thus inspiring more profits for themselves.

Weapons makers, gas companies, and any other company where the products and services rise in profits during times of war probably put money into PR for these types of posters to inspire more anger, fear, or inspire men and women to keep fueling the war effort.

Elmo Dies

Tickle-Me Elmo.... fun toy for children or the next best thing for idiots to torture?

When I saw the video where Elmo gets burnned... at first I thought it was funny, the elmo laughed as the flames enveloped over its plastic body. Then I thought, man this is sick. If this was a burning human body it wouldn't be funny at all... the man would have been screaming and DYING. So this is my word, what the fuck america? Its a CHILDREN'S TOY! I know it may be annoying because you probably bought one for your child and you go to work and come home and hear that stupid red elmo laughing all night, creating a phsycosis of rage towards it, and in your head you may just want to throw it out the window, but it's a toy and it isn't going to burn you. The idea that burning a laughing toy is ok, then videos of burning humans is entertaining as well. This is desturbing. :/

Digital Native vs. Digital Immigrant

I believe I would be considered a digital native. Technology started to develop very rapidly with faster and smarter computers as I got older and the only thing I really cared about was being able to call my friends on a personal phone that I didn't have to share wtih my family and getting on social networking websites. I can definitely say I know more about technology today than my parents who still call texting "emailing" but I'm still slow to figure out how to fix my computer or any of that stuff.
