Television tendencies

-sportscenter
-law and order: svu
-always sunny in philadalphea

  I feel like i dont follow as many shows as other people. For the most part im probably watching one of these if im watching tv. Sportscenter is great because it tells you everything thats happening in the world of sports and its on ESPN all day. It targets a wide range of people, basically anyone whos a sports fan. Law and Order: SVU is always airing episodes on USA and my tivo recoreds them so its really convineint i can pick which episode i want to see and fast forward through the commercials. Its more of drama/action type of show and Its Always Sunny in Philly is a comedy on FX or Comedy Central and in my opinion one of the most funny shows tv has to offer.

Living in a place as nice as the one in the article would be enough but having a slide to take you from part to another is just crazy. I think its really good idea because its different. Having a really nice house is one thing but when its nice and has something creative about it then its just makes it that much more special. The guy who owns it must be living the life if he's a pro poker player and bachelor with such a nice place in NYC. My idea of the perfect home is one thats big, obviously, and each room has a different feel to it. That way you never get bored of it.

ideas that will change the world

   Jobs are crucial now a days. Not only is it hard to get hired but its also hard to keep it. People jobs are being moved to places like India and China for different reasons. The article mentioned how these countries used to be poor and have very little and we used to have it all but it seems like it is starting to switch. People here are losing jobs to people over there now they are buying all kinds of technology and other expensive things just like we do. The idea is that in the end this all good because we are becoming more connected and coopertive with the rest of the world.

   The idea of using stem cells is always a contriversial one. I agree with the article and believe that using stem cells could change the world. Diseases are such a dark thing and if their is something out there to help people who are suffering then why not. Its not like thier is just one or two uses for them. They can be used to treat a lot of sicknesses. I think using stem cells is an important idea in transformiong how we think about medical ailments and how much they can hold people back.

  The other article i chose was the one about youth and optimism. Maybe because im young and optomistic but i beleive thats a really important thing. Younger people arent respected when it comes to making important choices but the world needs to change how they see todays youth. Optomism is healthy and the world could always use more of it. Thats what younger people can bring to the table.
    

25 websites we cant live without

I was really surprised to see that google was number 12. After all the things weve learned about it and how successful  it is i thought it would be in the top 3. Also you tube is 15 and facebook is 9 and i think my peers and classmates would have those in their top picks. I think i could live without the internet but if i had to pick 5 sites to keep i would chose youtube, google, facebook, espn, and zappos. Thats everything i really need out of the internet, entertaining videos, searches ,social networking, sports, and shoes.

tradegy in japan

I knew that what was going on in Japan was really serious but after viewing those links and seeing it more in depth i know a lot more. You only see or hear about certain parts of the story coming from the news but the internet is more free and theres more contributions to it than any news station so you can dig a little deeper. Watching the videos was really sad to see what they have to go through over there. I saw before and after pictures of places in japan that used to be really nice and then one day everything changed and they got wiped away. The one with dog was also pretty sad because he didnt wanna leave his friends side and everything around the poor dog was destroyed and it really captured the devistation. The internet is having a huge impact on the spread of information because it gives you so many options unlike the news on tv which tells you what they want you to hear. The interent allows you to search so many different sites and find what your looking for. This could help the cause since people can see just how bad it is and that could encourage them to do something to help.

viral video

I chose this video just because i think its hilarious and i died laughing when i saw it. Viral videos have a huge impact on our culture. Everyone knows youtube and probably uses it. Its so popular because so many people are turning to the internet for entertainment since its such a big part of everyday life and its getting easier to access with things like the iphone which puts youtube in the palm of your hand. Viral videos are only getting more and more popular and people are even becoming famous because of them. I deffinetly believe viral videos play a big part in our culture.

Advertainment

There are a lot of examples of advertainment. I didnt even know what it was until we learned about it and it. When i thought about it i realized that you see it everywhere. On american idol they advertise coke not by directly trying to sell you the product but they have those distinct red coke cups in front of the judges. musicians are even using products in there videos tell help advertise product, for example a car in a music video might be there to advertise.
