task 5

Regulated or Unregulated Internet

There are particular difficulties in dealing with Internet content. The Internet is designed to be open to anyone, so that people can connect without detailed controls. internet can be very useful in many ways and from research 85% of people find it helpful and the rest believe that internet is not good for the environment.

why do people believe that internet can be bad for the environment?
-children of now can download games, music, adult movies with out a parent knowing.
-internet is not always safe, can bring virus to your computer and can be very effective for your PC and laptop.
-internet not always have the right information. most of the information that you found in internet are facts but there are many websites that are not dated or are completely wrong.
-some websites are not illegal and they are not trusted.
-casino website and gambling sites can be very addicted and effective on a humans life.

why is the internet can be useful?
-the fact that is helpful for students, to research for many things such as sites,books,history,geography.
-people advertise their business.
-that effective because advertisement also come very useful in this world and allot of the things in our lives right now runs with media and advertisement and digital.

these were just a few examples that about the positive and negative view of internet.

task 4

this picture was taken by me from my university....

it was a interesting day and there was allot of ambulance around and no one knew why.

A Wiki was set up for the students of Digital Media Year 2 student of their experience of the Elephant & Castle area of South London; the home of London College of Communication (part of the University of the Arts).

The Elephant & Castle Wiki

The class decided to let the wiki be open to the public as well as all students rather than keep it closed just for the Digital Media students. The only two people who initially oposed this consisted of the two older mature students who had not been exposed to such internet sites as wikipedia as much as the younger generations (who tend to over use this site and rarely venture to view other sources of information). I think we also assumed that people would edit it with rubbish or rudeness when in fact nobody posted anything until the deadline for the assignment started looming! Plus it does depend on the internet search ratings for the wiki to surface for the general population to see it and then want to add to the wiki themselves – maybe it has been seen but as it was so bare people probably just clicked on?)

A Wiki is ‘collaborative community Website where anyone can contribute. Since then, programmers have created many wiki-inspired programs and wiki Websites. Most of these stay true to the goal of simplicity. Wikis can be used for a large variety of tasks, from personal note-taking to collaborating online, creating an internal knowledge base, assembling an online community, and managing a traditional website. The possibilities might make wikis seem like a daunting system, but commitment to simplicity makes wiki tools a breeze’.
Nathan Matias, Sitepoint

The wiki was created usingdokuwiki which is free to use and licenced under the GNU Genera Public License.

My personal view on elephant and castle:

i honestly dont really like that area that much because its to busy and crowded. there is always trouble and not very safe.

its not very clean and healthy either. the only reason why i visit the area is because of my university.

how ever i do like the wiki in elephant and castle. its different and its the heart of the area.

its a interesting design.

the most interesting bit of elephant and castle for me would have to be the market and the subway. the art and the painting on the subway keeps u entertained while u walking pass and the market is crazy busy and kinda useful.

However over all its good place to study because its a huge area and i believe students need to be in a open place so they can feel relax and some where that is lively and not so boring.

task 3

Define truth, give a reference (Harvard please)
1. the quality of being true
2. the state or character of being true.
3. if you believe in a lie it become true
4. the fact about events, people, situation, history
5. an obvious or accepted fact

Truth is subjective and depends on the situation, it does not have a black and white answer! It also depends on the individuals/social upbringing, perhaps the type of person who automatically trust all are easily fooled and for others who not see this unconditional ‘honesty’ in others might already question such things (this blog post has been written by a Photographic Retoucher who was never that trusting of photographs in the first place (or any other medium for that matter) and tends to wonder if the photographs featured in Newspapers do actually reflect back the ’story’ being told.. most of the time the answer would be a resounding no!)
Give an example of how digital media can compromise your definition???
some say media lies and others say media never lies. but trying to find out who is right or wrong can take forever. i believe life needs to be this way. this way you would have to go that extra mile to find the truth your self. no relying on others.
do pictures lie? are they trying to give the wrong message out to the audience or the readers? these are the question many people talk about every single day around the world. The fact is; if we’re really searching for the truth, we must question everything we’ve been taught, and then change our thinking to wherever that leads us. For a wise person once said, ‘Our minds don’t control our beliefs, our beliefs control our minds.the thing is media its an entertainment that can be knowledgeable at the same time. a very good example would be the cartoons.
cartoon are digital and fake but they are there to knowledge the children and entertain them at the same time.

‘To say he is an artist is no more than the truth, but he is more than that: he is our greatest living cartoonist with a lifelong dedication to his craft … His work is truly international, yet absolutely grounded in the English comic tradition.’ Steve Bell
so its really up to us human to find the truth and decide our self what to believe

task 2

Produce 2 photographs which embody the ideas of Wabi Sabi.

A pinhole image

Wabi Sabi – An acceptance of transience.

Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence. It inculcates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order. It is essentially a worship of the Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in
this impossible thing we know as life.

THE BOOK OF TEA By Kakuzo Okakura

Wabi Sabi is a term used for objects that are imperfect or shows signs of decay (signs of life?!), from a dried up leaf, rust on a car or a crumbling building; being able to see beauty in something that is old or worn; accepting the natural cycles of growth, decay, and death

Today’s society has a preference for shiny brand new things and anything with a little ‘character’. For example, the signs of age on the

human face belies a person’s characteristics, are seen as old and should be ignored or dismissed in some way. (Photographic retouchers are often told to remove wrinkles and lines from portraits but, I always leave some behind or lighten them just a little, otherwise I find that the person becomes unrecognisable).

An image which can be taken with any camera, but represents the ideas portrayed in this philosophy

Wabi-Sabi means living a simple natural lifesty

le; enjoying
nature and the beauty of things modest and humble.
Wabi-Sabi means getting rid of the unnecessary.Simplicity is the core of things wabi-sabi.

It's always better to spend your time and money on learning art and photography, not by spending it on more cameras.

because this picture is taken with a normal camera.

and this picture can explain or describe the same detailed then any other cameras.

because it dont need any high lenses or extra colors or flash

Task 1

Task 1:

How does the images taken by paparazzi photographers effect

1. The Audience?

it depend who the audience is.

if the audience is a celebrity or a well known person , it probably make the person ever look good or bad. so lets say the paparazzi take a picture of a famous man with a women shopping, that image will effect the famous man life because it will bring out the wrong idea to peoples head about this guy.

The Subject?

it depends on the editing or who the image was sell to. what magazine company and what kinda message does the company want the readers to get. a simple picture can describe many things but a picture can never describe the truth and the soul.

The Photographer?

the photographer got goals and aim each day for each job. one of each paparazzi photographers goal is to get a good detail picture of the subject they are looking for. so therefor if the picture is legal and perfectly detailed the image can give positive effect to the photographer.
