In class we are going to be having another presentation, however unlike the last presentation that was a website and prezi, we will be making a short video about a cause you find meaningful and support it. The topic the group I am in is about food and the environment, which can cover quite a number of different areas. With a topic like this it will be important that we narrow the topic down so that we aren’t too vague and still can cover what we need to clearly. I personally like the topic we are covering because food is a very important source in the world, and while searching about issue revolving food, is that we waste way too much food, and it is slowly affecting the environment.(Food waste) The main reason for this is that we produce a significantly higher amount of food then we actually consume. Knowing this it makes me want to find out about more issues that the food has effected the environment.

    I have thought about this many times and there aren’t really any good be all end all solutions but instead many steps the world needs to take to stop food waste. One of the ones that I love that France popularized was that all supermarkets must give the food they can sell charity. Most often the food won’t even be past the sell by date and the store must throw it out because it has a bruise. If you want a really good documentary from the Canadian Broadcasting Company about food waste check this out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLqkV8cP4xs

    I am in the same group as you and I am looking forward to researching for this group. I think it will be interesting to see how food waste has effected the environment. We as Americans waste a lot of food. So I would picture that there are thousands of landfills filled with food that has been wasted. That has to has a big impact on the environment. Not only is it taking up a lot of space, but will will take some time to decompose. So I am looking forward to this project.

Are You Collaborating?

Image by: Nick Youngson (CC BY-SA 3.0)  Figuring out the different ways one can collaborate with others willingly or unwillingly can be pretty tricky to figure out. Some of the more well-known ways to collaborate with others is to knowingly work with others to achieve a specific goal or objective, kind of like a project. Other types of collaborations are the types that are being made without real acknowledgement of it happening which is known as "Aggregation". Examples of these are when you search for something on YouTube, after a while on your homepage there will be an aggregated collaboration of things you have search or could be interested in searching. Another form of collaborating which, to be honest I feel isn't much of a collaboration in my eyes is how the people who created Captcha and Recaptcha are using words from books to get them digitized.( Ted talk on Captcha/ReCaptcha ) Sure it maybe getting a bunch of people to help out with something together...

Why you got to be so toxic?

Image
Image from: youtube.com/WatchMojo( Video thumbnail source ) When it comes to the online gaming community, toxicity is a big topic that is always going to talked about. You will always find toxic players regardless of the game you decide to play. In the article "Can a video game company tame toxic behavior?"(Link) they use the game League of Legends as the game they monitored the toxicity seeing the game as well over 60 million players. It’s a given with so many people you will run into the people who are toxic and badmouth of or harass other players. There are multiple ways one can be toxic, the most common one used in League of Legends in through text chat where people will type out what they say. Other games such as Call of Duty and Overwatch where they have a voice chat people can verbally harass other players instead of just typing it down. I can't even count the amount of times I have heard people calling each other "Bitch" and other words of t...

Media just keeps evolving!

Image by: Geralt (CC0 Creative Commons) As time goes by, evolution is a constant thing in our lives. Media as a whole seems to evolve at an extremely fast rate. No matter what type of media is it, it just continues to evolve. One thing that is the same no matter what kind of evolution takes place in media is that the older media or traditional media which consisted of television broadcast, radio's, newspapers, books, and magazines. With these traditional forms of media, it was able to create the stable of what we call social media today. An example used in the reading we had to read is how our phones still have the shutter sound feature in the camera’ which the shutter feature was in traditional camera. This was added into digital phones as well as cell phones to help the user know when they are taking a photo. Another example of a media that was kind of influenced by traditional media was media such as digital content like books and magazines. Media will continue to evolv...
