Audience.

The internet in itself is an amazing thing in itself. It is a fairly new invention whose potential is still to this day being realized. As if that wasn't already astonishing, in the midst of the rising popularity that is social networks a new feature is revolutionizing the way we are able to access music, by placing more unreachable artists at our very finger tips. I am of course talking about myspace, and it's ever-evolving music interface used by millions daily to see what all the buzz is about, find new and uponcoming artists, and hear what noises are being made right in your very backyard, so to speak.

Controversy.

The significance of this subject is the fact that it (myspace) has the possibility of even further changing the reality that is the way we hear and purchase music in this brave new world that is the digital age. Should myspace realize it's potential, it may someday rival more accurately even overshadow music giant iTunes as the alpha music downloading platform. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

What I am trying to do is pry open any eyes closed to the invisible threat that myspace poses to the portion of the music industry that makes it's living off of solely cds, ignoring the unharvested market of ringtone hungry, download crazy, and obbsessive music loving junkies that make up the entire world.

More Argument Stuff

More on the argument I had the privilege of witnessing...

My friend's claim: that his brother had been calling his ex, and that wasn't okay. He supported this not just out of suspicion but also by undeniable proof that this was true such as confronting his brother about it and the brother admitting it was true.

His brother's claim: She had been calling him, and he stated that she was to blame for everything. However, he had no proof, other than the usual "he said she said" baseless claims.

My friend's response, and ultimately the way the argument ended: He threatened to hurt his brother if he continued to talk to his ex-girlfriend. And then they hung up the phone.

I would say that my friend won the argument since his brother did not dare to go against what he commanded him to do, or in this case, not to do.

An argument

The last argument I've heard, or the closest thing to one, was overhearing my best friend, who I won't name, arguing with his brother over the phone about recently calling his ex-girlfriend of 5 years. Long story short, there was a threat of physical violence involved and the conversation was over.

Reflection Blog on Multimodal Project

why do you think your assignment is well-suited to a Web reader:

aside from the fact that we were made to post this online, it is because the web is full of more diverse people and ultimately will attract more diverse opinions, good or bad.

what you are proud of:

I am proud of the fact that I had good intentions in attempting to undertake such a hard thing to talk about in our society rather than just critisizing, and try to find fault in everything, I appreciate the fact that I tried to push this generation into a more positive direction, not through my opinion but by the collective conscious of our society, whether or not some of the more adamant voices heard and listened to by the world aren't necessarily the ones of reason.

what you would have done more of had you had more time:

I would have brought to light some of the more obvious facts supporting the idea of an existence of perversion in our society. it's truly one of those things where you don't know where to start because you are simply overwhelmed and surrounded by it.

and what you would have improved on had you had greater technical knowledge:
I would have tried to be more professional in explaining the information, but more importantly I would have tried to make this project everything I originally envisioned it to be. Because it is far from it. Although I myself being my worst critic even know that this was a very challenging topic as opposed to the others and can give myself a little credit I guess.

Additionally, comment on your selection of research:
There was virtually nothing to work with in terms of the information I was looking for. Nevertheless I still settled on what I could find and worked with that.

and any other decisions you think are relevant:
no comment.
