I thought Jessicas was the best because it was a good idea and she translated that idea into a good video, that can sometimes be very hard to do. Also...its amazing because I was in it :)
I think that I could have made my video better if I had gotten more people in it, or if i had made like a poster in the back so it wasn't random people dancing around the campus.

So you think you can dance... from markpicketts on Vimeo.

थे फुतुरे

I was amazed that this kind of technology could be created. Not only that someone could come up with this concept and actually make it work, but that it would happen in my life time. I was in awe when the man described the different types of things that this technology could do.

I think that most amazing things this could do is that it could deliver vital information in an instant when ever, and where ever you happen to need it. I think that the only limitation this could have is that humans could become too dependent on technology. You wont need your computer, or your iphone in order to access information.

In my opinion "open source" could means that not only is the technology going to be available for everyone to buy, but we are going to be able to know all about it as well. All the tiny little details about it that we would know just like the next ipod that is about to hit the market. Obviously a pro of sharing technology like this is that everyone can have one (i.e doctors, the military, average people) but the this would be very harmful in the hands of someone with bad intentions. Another problem would be that there would have be new security measures in places like subways, or airplanes. It would also make security jobs like the police very hard. If you can trigger something like a bomb, or a gun just by snapping your fingers, evidence that could convict criminals or terrorists could disappear and new methods would have to created.

कोम्मेर्सिअल

Consider the commercials that are linked below. Write a response to them on your blog.
Paragraph 1: Do you like/love/dislike/hate them? why? Are there other commercials that stick out in your mind as having had a profound effect on you? Why do you think that was? Please include a link to a commercial that you reference in your post.
Paragraph 2: What elements are you going to use in your commercial? What challenges are you expecting to face in this project.

I like that they are all creative and get your attention. The only one i did not like was the one about the car and the music. In my opinion, it didnt go anywhere and it got boring after a while. I think that a good commercial should grab your attention and be able to keep it. It should also be memorable, like that add for free credit report.com. All their adds are really really funny and I even memorized the phone number and the lyrics to their songs. That says a lot, because I cant even memorize my cel phone number :D

I was planning on doing something about so you think you can dance and having different people dance really badly for the add. And Id have a funny song in the background. But now I dont know if I want to do that.
