Senior Project

I have spent the last few days doing tutorials and working on my books. I have become somewhat confident (to an extent) with Quickbooks. I am in the process of thinking of my business as a whole now that I am seeing numbers and I have come across this site which poses some valid info.

I will be starting work on my website when this quarter is officially over. I have been to swamped with main campus classes and tests to even fathom starting. I will be dedicating August and September to getting my website up and going.

Also, next up I will do this copywriting tutorial.

History of Design Technology

Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide

Conclusion: Democratizing Television? The politics of participation

In 1991, W. Russell Neuman studied the consumer habits and how they would slow down the interactive potentials of “emergent digital technologies. “Technology was ready but culture was not ready to embrace it.” But that was a ill predicted future. Today, we hear of early adopters racing ahead of technology. Grass roots communities tinkering with, expanding, hacking and pushing the commercial into a more participatory direction.

“The power of the grassroots media is that it diversifies; the power of broadcast media is that it amplifies.” Broadcast media can ignore their audience to a certain extent; but niche media mush accommodates it small audience; which is part of its appeal.

Big media television cannot continue to operate in the same old ways. Broadcasters are loosing younger viewers, who expect influence over the media they consume. The younger generation wants what they want when they want it and they take a more active role in seeking that out.  Many people express frustration about the state of media culture, “surprisingly few people talk about how we might rewrite it.” Market pressures, the demand to tend to the demands of advertisers and stockholders make it near impossible to commercialize in a participatory manner.
