Online Life

1. "When it is more important to be seen than to be talented, it is hardly surprising that the less gifted among us are willing to fart our way into the spotlight." - Lakshmi Chaudhry. What is your reaction? Wow, I think she is kind of right. I mean lots of people that think that they arent talented will sometimes do almost anything to get the attention of others and to become famous.
   
2. What would you do if someone took a compromising picture of you and posted it on the Internet? Should people have a right to say if they don't want a picture online? Um YES!!! I mean isnt it illegal to post a picture of you on the web without your permission. I think thats completely wrong and people who do that should go to jail. I think I would try to send that person to jail.
   
3. Is the "truly private life" an illusion? Why or why not? I think it is. I mean the stars have no privacy whatsoever. Whatever they try to hide, the paparazzi immediately will know.
   
4. What does the author mean by the "Creolization of media"?I truly have no idea.
   
5. “Things that were not silly. I tried to make my posts highly stylized and short, about things I would imagine people would want to read or comment on.”- I've wondered this about websites like reddit.com. Could the same be said for newspapers? probably not. I think, well sometimes it might be true. Because sometimes the editors of newspapers dont have anything to write about so they make stuff up.
   
6. "When she worked at American Apparel, management posted encouraging remarks on employee MySpace pages." Personally, I find this weird. What do you think? Yea i think thats also a bit weird.
   
7. Iamfacingforeclosure.com is a site written by an idiot. Acknowledge he is an idiot for getting in so much trouble with money.
   
8. What is your reaction to the article? Did you enjoy it? Wow!! I think that article was way random. It talks about a lot of stuff. I thought it was ok. Just kind of weird but true at the same time.
