CM410 Class

Today Jan 11, 2018 was the first day back to class. Today we went over the syllabus. This semester will be hands on. We will create videos and make a good profile. before class ended we watched a Television series that focused on the future. I thought that the series that we watched was ok but I think that I like the series Black mirror better.

In the first part of the knowing interview Richard Lanham is talking about different technology that is offered in the world. He talks about how many books are made every year, websites, videos...etc He goes on to explain why there are so many books, websites, videos..etc Some people may do it for interest reason and some may do it for other reasons. Richard Lanham says that the digital age will be a huge problem. Then he starts to talk about the Is Google Making Us Stupid article. When reading this article earlier in the semester I had a hard time reading the whole article. I found myself skimming threw the article which isn't good.

Currently I am still working on my website. I have added new files  to my website such as my youtube video, pictures, social media, and my resume. I am working  on branding myself (TiyanaKamari). My goal is to create a website and logo that will self identify with my personality. I want to be able to use my Logo on my youtube channel and my social medias.

Today's  assignments was to create a personal website and to continue editing The Brand yourself  page. We were to create a profile "about me" papragrapgh that can be uploaded to all social medias and Blogs/vlogs or websites. Then we were to create a personal website that has all of our work that we have did on there. I have got the bases of my work on there so far....

So last class we watched Black Mirror which is a Netflix series that predicts the near future. This television series was pretty interesting to watching because it gives insight on what the future holds. One thing that was questionable in the episode that we watched was the point system that they were ranking people by. I was confused... are people born with no points...did you have to ear the points.. or were you born into the points or ranking?

Today's assignment was to uploaded 3 social media profiles on to the Brand Yourself website. I uploaded by twitter page and my Blog and ran it threw to see what my grade would be. I thought that it was  neat that it would pull up tweets from years back that you've posted that wasn't quite professional. My report card score was a B-. The site gives you pointers on how to boost your score which is pretty cool.
