WTF

Wonderland: virtual adultery and cyberspace love BBC 2.

I can't believe a woman flew from America to England to visit the man she fell in love with, o by the way she’s already married with children, and she fell in love with a charming fella on the social network second life. I want to say something profound, but the emotions running through my brain after watching the programmes, is of complete confusion. On that note I'm signing off.

Guardian Post

I agree with the Guardian article in most part that on websites such a facebook, Bebo or Myspace you might only be good friends with 5 people, another 20 old school friends, another 10 from the office, and maybe 5 family memebers, the rest of the people could actually be people that are helping you with whatever avenue you are interested in. Remember Lilly Allan, famous dad maybe but Myspace launched her successful music career, with over 1 million hits on her website record companies rushed to sign a new UK act. I believe that even though you might not know all the people in your buddy list, you thank them when they buy your album, you thank them when they help to create a part of your dream come true, and you thank them that you don't have to see them all the time.

Good Website V Bad Website

I would say that none of the websites are my cup of tea to say it nicely, I'm probably use to different colour, great pictures and looking at content that I usally want to know about. Regardless of this fact off all three websites the first one in fact would be the one that I would keep going back to refer to. The content is the right amount, it goes into the right amount of information, the layout of the pictures helps but not that much, the second one over loaded with information and the third and final was lacking information, and was too boring for me to pay keen interest to. What makes a good website to me would probably be content and layout being clear, to the point and easy to find and comprehend the information that I am either researching, reading for enjoyment or using to complete a project on for instance my blog page. A bad website would of course do the complete opposite, plain, over croweded, overindulgent on information that would in fact put me to sleep within the first 10 seconds.

Next Week

By next weeks lesson, our group needs to come up with solid idea. We will meet up to discuss the in's and out's of what topic to cover, so we can start our project.

What Is Reflection ?

Christina Aguilera- Reflection Lyrics

Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day
It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

I am now
In a world where I
Have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

There's a heart that must be
Free to fly
That burns with a need to know
The reason why

Why must we all conceal
What we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

Changing Of The Guard

The shocking news of Heath Ledgers death was heard, seen, and talked about around the world. You may ask why I am choosing to write about such a morbid situation, like most my age have seen Ledger in 10 things I Hate About You, and remember the scene where he serenades Julia Stiles character down the school steps with "I Love You Baby" a truly unforgettable scene in a classic teen movie, to the enormous growth and risk Heath took with doing the Ang Lee's controversial Brokeback Mountain, and the up coming Batman movie has been gathering huge Buzz surround his portrayal of the Joker. Having channel surfed and found myself at Sky News to hear the shocking news that Heath Ledger had died, his vivid in my memory; as I sat there watching the coverage, changing the channels to see what coverage BBC News, CNN, Fox News was giving, and finally returning back to Sky the banner wrote TMZ.COM broke the story of Ledgers death. TMZ is a gossip website that shows celebrity at their worse, for them to break the story of Ledgers death to news station across the world, testifies to the changing of the guards. Time has changed when an infamous website can be quicker than a news channel in breaking a story, the fact that the need for speed comes with the over consumption of our society and the need for having everything now and at a mere click of a button.
