Digital Foundation_Assignment 5



My pop-up card is designed with a topic of skull. To celebrate the incoming Halloween, I would like to add some cartoon figures of skulls and ghosts. On the cover of my card, I drew two lovely ghosts and wrote "Happy Halloween".




When you open the card, a skull with two orange shiny eyes will pop up. I drew the outline of the skull on one paper, and craved it with a knife. Then I built the electric circuit on the other paper. I put the "skull" above the circuit and marked the location of two eyes. Finally, I connected with the battery and the card gave out the lights.

Source: conversationagent.typepad.com After reading the paper Social media? Get serious! Understanding the functional building blocks of social media, I get to know more about the social media ecology and how firms can seize this opportunity using social media to improve corporate image and profits. With the development of social media, the role of consumers changed from passive listeners to active users of the Internet. According the Fader and Winer (2012), the growth of the web of social networking has resulted in user-generated content, or UGC. By analyzing the seven building blocks of social media-- identify, conversations, sharing, presence, relationships, reputation and groups, firms can develop better strategies to monitor, understand and response to different social media activities. Moreover, learning how to harness user generated content, the corporation can reach more consumers. From the corporation’s perspective, one of the most important purpose

After adding a new friend in social media, the first thing you would like to do is to glance over the content in his or her social media account to learn more about this person. Or you establish the first impression of someone through his or her social media posts, yet you find the person is quite different from what you thought when you meet each other offline. This process of social media, to some extent, has become an effective way for us to understand and evaluate others. Therefore, identity-making is of much importance when we talking about social media, as it can not only effects other’s impression on you, it also helps discover yourself.

Session 2 Blog: Views on Technology and Social & Communicative Aspects

Source:www.business2community.com/cybersecurity Since we watched the video Web 2.0…The Web is Us/ing Us, I have been thinking about the relationship between media technology and communication content. Do we human beings define the way that the machine operates, or the technology is taking control of us? As the famous phrase puts, “the medium is the message”(Marshall McLuhan, 1967), I agree that the technologies somehow define the pattern people perceive information and how we give feedbacks. However, it doesn’t mean that we cannot adapt and use technology for our own freely determined purposes. The development of web 2.0 empowers everyone with the ability to create communication content in diversified forms, yet it also requires that we should be able to deal with the overwhelming fragmented information. Therefore, it is necessary for us to think about how we use the technology in social and communicative practice. After reading the paper Technology as Social Practice, I
