Last blog.

Not going to lie, more then 3/4 of my blog weren’t made because I wanted to, but because I had to because I wanted to pass this class, but that that bad. There was one type of blog that I realized I actually like doing, that breaking down numbers. Funny enough that’s gotten me inspired to start a new blog and dedicate that for what i like doing, and to be honest i feel like the few people that have read them actually enjoy them. would have i found this out if i had not taken this class? most likely not, i’m not the type of person to go out of my way to write something the in all likely hood nobody will ever read. ill link the two blogs that i enjoyed writing down below, Thank you for your time.

Why Parable of the Polygons works

if you guys have not already please take a look at the site here

 

When i was doing my work for Class one of the Games that Jane had chosen for us to review was Parable of the polygons. The first time i played it was a ordinary person playing a puzzle game. In the end the game has a message  about how biased is created and how we must demand diversity. Although the game was short it had a lot of meaning, and it actually sticks. this isn’t unusual, a lot of games have meaning that gets you think for a while but once your off doing another task it disappears, but this game didn’t do that, why?

I decided to play the game a second time, and i realized this game works so well is because the author didn’t hide his words and you need to carefully analyze them, his words are exactly what they mean, its easier to quote words rather than ideas. I know a lot of people feel like this is obvious but it isn’t that simple. most people like to put small riddles that you put together to get an answer for what the author is asking, but let me ask you, what was the answer to the last riddle you’ve done.It took you a few seconds to think did it not? What the author did here is that he planted the ideas in your head without telling you what he means ( in till the very end)

Video Platforms dont own your Videos

When reading the article Black Teens Are Breaking The Internet And Seeing None Of The Profits there is a very important error that can cause a lot of confusion and that is the quote “Part of the reason the originators of viral content are stripped from their labor is because they don’t technically own their production. Twitter does, Vine does, Snapchat does, and the list goes on”.  That is not 100% true, It’s much more complex because you do own the intellectual video and companies like youtube do the licensing but under a few agreements under youtube’s terms of service. This doesn’t mean your strip of ownership if you were youtube wouldn’t need to give you a cut of the ad revenue if your video is monetized. Keywords is monetized, one of the reasons Peaches Monroee didn’t receive any revenue for becoming a meme is because vine is not a monetized platform.

Energy crisis-My Mediated Writing

I fell in love with adobe spark 3 seconds after I started to use it. It was so easy to use, I decided to just do my nine-page paper I did last quarter because it was so simple to use.This made it simple for me when I was talking about something a little hard to just post a video.Typed to many words? just add a picture.Don’t like Highlighted words? just throw in a Link button. It’s so easy to use I wish i sent my paper links to my spark instead of my paper.

Harry Potter Alliance

I want to start out clean, I have never read any of the harry potter books or seen the movie. That doesn’t make it any less great, I think its amazing, In the curation page I wrote a post about a charity that I follow from time to time (link to post) I think charity work is what keeps faith in humanity going. Seeing this charity in work gives me thoughts like why aren’t there more charities that are fandom based? I’m pretty sure harry potter isn’t the largest Fandom out there, I mean, have you seen the star wars fandom? Tolkien lord of the rings fandom? Tumblers obsession with Supernatural and Dr.Who? what if there were Fandom Charity competitions, fandom with the largest donation wins fandom of the year by the world charity foundation? just some thoughts out there, Let me know what fandom(s) you’d be part of or why you wouldn’t in a team.

Addicted To Innovative Development

I am both a car and a tech hardware type of guy, so i am addicted to the numbers, what is the fastest, most efficient, how far have we come, and what’s next.So when i read the section the “‘laws’ of digital development” I  got excited and I’m about to drop so numbers for you guys. for perspective sake, we will start with something simple, paper folding. fold it once and you have doubled the volume of the paper, then you fold it again d you have a paper 4 times its original height, and so on i assume all have you have taken a math class before. Around 41 folds you reach half way to the moon and by the 42nd you reach the moon (link to how this works). Now stay with me because we are talking about innovation and how cool the development is. most of the laws mentioned in the book( Krynder’s law, Glinderslaw law, Nielson law, and Cooper’s law) all have a length in which they double ( an Avg rate of doubling). and some have a point of reference.an example would be Grinder’s law of storage compacity. starting from 1956, every 23 months.The math its about 61 years from 1956, that’s about 732 months, that means that storage capacity has doubled almost 32! that’s insane, compare that to paper folds, that’s a paper fold reaching 214KM! Leave a comment on how you feel about this.

words per day.

This is a very interesting information to me. After seeing the book Network mention that we consume over  100,500 words of information a day is mind blowing to me ( especially that this was done back in 2008). How can you read that much words and not even realizing it is unbelievable. That is a lot of information, or atleast it seems.if you sleep 8 hours a day that means on your avg. 16 hour days you are reading slighting more then 2 words a secound. not very much when you break it down, but when you see today’s modern  avg word per day it is closer to 490,000 words per day. Thats almost 10 words per second(link). Thats a mind blowing rate cause thats the avg, your reading rate fluctuates. I personally think those numbers are so cool. comment how you think about this.

” polygon with a countably infinite number of sides”- Link

When i opened chapter 5 of Rheingolds book it talked about the importance of structure.Then the inner engineer in me was aspired to find the perfect shape for the internet. At first i thought a circle with lines running through linking points to each other, but then i realized that that is too small. the internet is growing vastly and a perfect circle seemed to limited, then i thought of the only infinite growing thing that is known to man, and that is the universe. the universe sounded like a good bases, but how would the galaxy look like a shape? does that shape have a name? i was too lazy to think of a solution of that so i just sat down and remembered a YouTube video. a YouTuber i was watching was talking about his fears and was talking about his fears and gave a paradox “if you had a infinite fence picks and you were asked to use All of them to build a fence” then he mentioned this shape. A shape with a countable infinite sides sounds like the best fit for the Internets infinitely growing database and how it links to each other.
