Part 1: Through this past year there has been a new type of social interactions called avatar sites. One may think this happens to be the biggest news of 2006, but how can one even imagine all the new developments of technology that has occurred this year.
Part 2: What does it take for the entire society to care?
In todays culture people care mostly about being entertained, in order for one to care or be aware about either a disease or war. You must catch their attention of the people or have it relate to them, cause basically people care about how it affects them as well.
Part3: Who is "You"
"You" happens to be all people who are connected through this one common interest. Though we all may have different backgrounds, and different interests we still find one common interest that keeps us together.

In the past inorder to have a social life one would have to leave the house. But now one can just sit at home on the computer and obtain the same social life. The avatars are a way for one to either talk to friends without leaving the house, make new friends, or reconnect with old ones. I for instance use my avatar "Facebook" to talk to my friends who are in Israel for the year. One may think of an avatar as a way to be represented 24/7, so that could why people put alot of time into making it the best it could be. The down side to the avatar sites is with so many people on these networks one can't know who's looking at their profile.

In the article written by Time Magazine, it tries to show how the future can't only be affected by the powerful and famous, but by everyday people also. Thanks to technology one may be able to speakout to others around the world whether its through motion or text.
This article shows how even with all the out breaks of war and scare in 2006, people were occupying themselves in other things, for instance the new developments of the internet. By using such networks as wikipedia and my space people are finding new ways to live their lives, which may very well help in the future.

The Biggest Poser

Artist:
Max Weber was born in Europe and immigrated to America, he studied art at the Pratt Institute. Then went on to study modernism and cubism from Pablo Picasso and Henri Rousseau.
Painting:
Blue New York- In this painting Weber is trying to show the changes that are occurring in New York City at the time (1910). To me it looks like he’s expressing his feelings about New York City and the sizes of the buildings and even with a clear blue sky people can’t see them or understand what they stand for. Or he might be showing the evolution of New York City by showing all the different stages of buildings. But what I notice most was the black triangle where the sun is supposed to be, which shows how dark the city is.

Editorial Assignment #1

Nicole’s summary on the article written by Time magazine which spoke about the "Person of Year" was summarized very distinct, she put in all the main points of the article and went into depth with it. What I noticed was she stuck to the topic about avatars and you tube but didn’t really go into one of the main topics of the article, which was how one is able to communicate and interact via web from all around the world. She was very accurate about Web 2.0 and about how the article emphasized on ordinary people. However she didn’t really explain into detail what an avatar was or how it could be operated. Otherwise this summary explained what the article was about.
Safety comes first is what was brought up in Nicole’s argument about the article. She wrote how even with these new technologies there should still be someone or something protecting people from predators and profanitiesonline. Her opinion on this issue is very resourceful she puts in great points, she also puts in actually incidents where such actions have occurred. I have been aware of this problem before, however she puts into greater detail and makes me realize the dangers of avatars for young adults. She also supports her thesis very well and puts in proofs to interact with her argument.
Nicole is a person who seems out going, she pushes herself out side box and wants to accomplish great goals. Such as going to law school, moving out of her hometown to a much farther area. I don’t know why but to me people who ski seem like out goers since it takes skill and courage to go down a mountain let alone go down at such a high speed. By her taste of music I can also tell that she likes to go out a lot and sing and dance. By seeing that she’s not too into movies even though she works in "Blockbuster" and doesn’t watch TV shows that she might think of them as a waste of time when she can do something more productive. she also talks about her mother as her best friend which shows how big a family person she really is.

In the piece of music we ( Subjective) heard in class, there were many different sounds, it started off with a man making a speech a different language, and then the tape was stopped (Evaluation) and was rewound (Evaluation), and then it became scratchy( Critique), and then everything began to seem as if it were being warped( Critique). Then it paused (Evaluation) and it began to sound as if raindrops were falling or a piano was being played and then it came to an end.
