CASE STUDY: (video, not link)


FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
The lowest average age for any social networking site is 28 on Bebo, closely followed by 31 from MySpace. If you thought social networks were just for the youngins, you’re sadly mistaken! The fastest growing demographic for facebook users is women over 55. You can verify these factoids at the following websites:

Fun fact there are a lot of strange and interesting things that can be found on Google Earth.

The Future of Digital Art

A link tomy project blog.

My case study can be found here. under The Future of Digital Art. pdf

The variety of digital arts is wide. I found it interesting how the main predictions/projections about where digital art is going toward mixed/transmedia and more interaction/collaboration/performance between artists and viewers. Certain barriers about the concepts of digital art and media and being dismantled while this it is asserting and assimilating itself. I haven't finished up yet...so it will look different by Friday.

eWaste: Where does all our elcetronic stuff go?

Cave Story

Food for thought or fun fact: I learned that out of all the people that make Flash games online only 25% of the makers of the games don't make some money. Though a little over 50% of the people that make money from the flash games make between $1 and $500 a month of them. Around 75% of people that make games have under 2 years of experience.(this wasn't actually in my project it was one of the many facts I didn't fit into the project easily. The slide show for this information was really repetitive and kind of boring)

Starting this I really wanted to find out what was out there right now in terms of Cloud Computing Services. Not just what Google was offering to the world. Originally, I have been very skeptical on trusting anything cloud computing right now. I have used free online storage accounts, online email accounts, and Google docs. Like most people, I didn't feel Cloud Computing was to a point yet where it could be relied upon. What I found changed my mind. This eyeOS Cloud Computing really surprised me. I now think, installed on the right server that this system could help out most small business. After doing this project, I really feel that we are only about a year from having these "web-top" computers being comparable to most desktops we can buy.

3 Google executives sentenced in Italy
Sunday Morning Herald.AU
In researching this case I found that out of all the articles and blogs that I read only one of them supported Judge Oscar Magi's ruling. That was the author of the article in the Sunday Morning Herald out of Australia.
3 Google executives were sentenced on privacy charges due to a video that was uploaded to one of their sites and remained there for two months. The video was of some teenagers harassing and kicking a down syndrome boy.

DStew Final Project

My topic is on Google Wave and how it could be used for project management. One thing I found interesting was that anyone participating in a discussion in Google Wave can edit any post in the discussion, even if they didn't post it.

I used two links for my case study. One is on using Wave as a project management tool and the other is looking at how people are already using Wave in the real world.
