Our Three Quotes
*"When considered in its proper context, these results indicate that the problem of personal information disclosure on MySpace may not be as widespread as many assume, and that the overwhelming majority of adolescents are responsibly using the website,"

*"There will come a moment when, like deer quivering and flicking up their ears toward a noiseless noise in the woods, the first adopters will suddenly realize they’re spending their time blogging, adding, and gawking at the same alarming photos as an army of 14-year olds, and quick as deer, they’ll dash to the next trend. And before you know it, we’ll all follow."

*"endangering national security, leaking state secrets, subverting the government, undermining national unity, and spreading rumors or disturbing the social order."

5 Best Productions

1.This production, particularly caught my eye because all the information give was in great detail, it was relevant and the use of visual content made it so much easier to understand and also the use of figures and quotes were the strongest points about this production.


2. This production was good because it gave and answered questions which made the audience think about the interent and keep them engaged in the production. The use of colour was also a strong point as it kept audiences engaged and to you could appreciate it aesthetially.



3. The good thing about this production was it focused on the bad points aswell as th good things about the internet which i thought was excellent as it made explicit refrences and visually loked good.



4. The good thing about this video was the use of figures and the great thing about this production was the use of research, however the bad point about this video was the lack of pictures to make this production visually aesthetic and reliable.


5. The good thing about this production was the use of sound, it was a sound that young audiences could identify with and i particularly found engaging, also the use of pictures were relevant at times and the use of humour also played an important part in engaging the reader. However, this production also focused on the bad point about the internet also which made the information in this production more valid.

Self evaluation

Overall, i thought the feedback from my class was good the average level that was given to my production was level 3- demonstrating knowledge in deeper depth. To give explicit refrences a majoritty of the class had said that "the pordocution lacked pictures" and a good point from a member of the class was "The use of Blue and black made the writing easier to read", another member had said "it was very entertaining and answered the questions" I, of course, felt that although the music wasn't really relevant to technology it was a beat that the class were familiar with and kept them engaged. I felt that the bad point about the production was that i kinda went off topic and focused on twitter as an example of how the internet plays an integral part in every day life.

Whereas, a television user are given/shown information and most noticeably a television user's purpose of consuming such information would to be entertained than finiding information. In addition, the difference between both users are;

>ability to connect to information/people across the world

Television user
> more visual content
>likely to be a passive user
>able to have direct source to world news
