Website Theme

For the website, it would be personal site. This site would be something like “My Journey” and would divide in two parts: the “Cyber Me” and the “Reality Me”. The “Cyber Me” would focus on my interests in the Digital Media field and the “Reality Me” would relate to my life.

Another idea is a website about the video game history. It will have a time line on the main page, and all the contents are all based on that time line.

These are only basic concepts and may get changed at anytime.

“Here Comes Everybody”& “Small Change”

    These two articles all talked about the network and social communication. For the first chapter of “Here Comes Everybody” by Clay Shirky, he used an example of a Wall Streeter getting back a smart phone from a teenage girl using the new technology. In the story, we can easily find that the case Shirky was talking about can never happen in last century or even in past eight years. It is difficult to imagine that thousands of people were attracted by the webpage made by Evan, the Wall Streeter, and as well as the story. People helped Evan to find the phone and finally get the phone back. Shirky only used one case to demonstrate the power of the network.

    The article in New Yorkers talked about communication revolution. Malcolm Gladwell took many examples in the history and explained “Why the revolution will not be tweeted”. He took several examples in last century before all the “popular communication tools” was invented and made great influences at the time. He explore the life without these tools that we can hardly imagine a day without these Internet things. And finally said that “What happens next is more of the same”.

    So for these two arguments, I think the latter one is more believable than the first one since Gladwell used a lot of examples from the history and made his arguments believable.
