REMIXING CONTENT

  1. I understand "remixing content" to mean changing it from its original state.
  2. In other words, by removing or adding material to a form of media you can create something new. Photos, songs, artwork, and videos can all be remixed.
  3. An example of "remixing content" would be songs that are remixed. Lot's of popular songs get remixed all the time. People change the beats, speed them up, or add parts of other song to them and that changes the original song.
  4. The purpose of the assignment is to show you how popular remix culture is and the impact it has on business, society, and culture.
  5. The key question at the heart of the assignment is "how can you remix the content that you share?"

    I am questioning the clarity of your statement "In other words, by removing or adding material to a form of media you can create something new. Photos, songs, artwork, and videos can all be remixed." Can you add a bit more detail of how media can be altered? Give examples.

THE ART OF CRAP DETECTION

Everyone is bias. Seth Godin said, "t he best professionals are biased. And smart enough to embrace only the biases that keep them successful."

It's important that we're aware that not everything is true. For example , on facebook I see a lot of those diet drink ad's and most of them don't have any proof to back them up. If you are not able to detect the bs then you might end up falling for them and buying. The purpose of the assignment is to educate us on detecting bullshit and make us think more about the info. we are given. The key question at the heart of t...

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS ABOUT SHARING

What do you take for granted or assume about sharing? I take how easy it is to share content for granted, it takes less then a minute to share something online and it has the potential to reach a huge audience. Whether I'm sharing a picture on Instagram or posting something on Facebook, I assume that people will see what I'm sharing. I also know people judge me based off what I share. What other information do you need to consider to better understand sharing? There's an emotional component to sharing, according to Steve Rayson, the 7 strongest emotions that drive social sharing are: amusement, surprise, heartwarming, beauty, inspiration, warning, and shock. Sharing certain content can make you feel like you're apart of a community.  It also gives us a way to show the most idealistic version of ourselves, we share content that represents the best parts of our life/self.   Why Do We Share On Social Media? The purpose of the assignment is to help us unde...
