social networking



Facebook was created by Mark Zuckerberg and in it's first week it already had 1,000 members.
There are so many social networks for example Facebook, Bebo, Myspace, Twitter etc. The most popular of all is Facebook if Facebook was a country it would have the third biggest population taking after India and China. There are many positive and negative outcomes of social networking.
 First I'll begin with the positives.
  • Allows you to connect with new and old mates.
  • You can talk to people all over the world.
  • It also let's your friends see recent pictures, information and an easy way to share information.
However the positives also have many negatives.
  • It distractions you.
  • We even lose social skills in person.
  • Strangers poising as different people aka mates or celebrities.
  • or even speaking to strangers.
Social networks change relationship online and offline for example we add friends but lots of the people were friends with we may have only spoke to once. Also it may put a strain on are relationships with are parents. Sometimes you add people that you probably don't even know.


We never take in all information presented to use on Internet. The world wide web has so much information even the stupidest information ever like 'why is the colour purple called purple?'. On social network site's like Facebook have a news's feeds which isn't like news stories it is just mainly useless information. Also on Facebook you can go on someones profile look at information this could be helpful if you wanted to get someone a gift and didn't know what they would like. It could also be used to look at someones contact details if you lost their number or something. All the information that is on the Internet is so much and not one person can process it all, look at imdb (Internet movie database) it has information about all the films, TV shows everything and the cast and crew.

If the web didn't exist I would know no different but if the system broke down I wouldn't be writing this and would have to buy a newspaper to see the news and use my phone more often. I think everyone wouldn't know what to do with their self. I wouldn't be able to play games well I could play board games, I wouldn't get emails I'd have to write letters etc. But maybe without the Internet would we constant more on homework or what ever were doing and be more educated.

Social networks are changing constaly for example applications, updates on are phones etc. The future of social networks I think Facebook may become old news and you'll have a new crazy a new way of communicating. Technology is constantly changing HD TVs to 3D TVs maybe one day will have a TV which  you can actually stand up and look around the Conner like we tried to do when we were little.

 Last Tuesday we made mono printing we had to roll some black paint on to a plastic thing then put it on the top of some newspaper then put a piece of paper on the top. We then drew a image on the paper for example a shell or bow etc. Once we drew the image the black paint would have left a copy of what we drew like this bow. we drew fine line with pencils straight then thick lines with the side of the pencil and then with a pen you make outlines. My image looked like this.




When we turned over the image that we drew on paper it looked like this on the over side. This is the positive print.
















I then made a negative print by using the plastic thing which already had my design on as when I drew my design/image on the paper it transferred on to the the plastic thing. i then put it on the pull press thing with a new piece of paper on. pulled the machine and the image was pressed on to the paper.













After we done this we put some ink on bubble wrap, cardboard etc. To make a good texture

Sun prints

At college we made Sun prints which was fun. First we made 4 compositions then we took the composition we liked and layed are objects out on the sun print paper. We then put it in the sun for 2 minutes and when we got them we removed are objects and it left a shadow. we brushed over them with some water and left them to dry.

This is what I made however it got messed up. It is a leave, ruler, star clip, key and paperclip.

blogs

Blogs 
This is for college
A blog is like a diary or journal it is where you may share personal stuff, something random or what you did today. Whatever it may be could have thousands of comments from complete strangers or none like me :) but i would probably mostly write about Media as this is what it is for.

Getting HisI love Perez Hilton he is amazing he was on Fearne and Perez last night it was so funny. However I don't think he is that funny to get $54,000 in one day just for advertising.
