Privacy, Surveillance, and the Price of Content

“I just search NBA on website then all the NBA merchandise pop up on my Facebook and social networks” Privacy is important for everyone. However, we all give this up on social media. As I mention before that nowadays, most of the companies are sharing data to each other. If you don’t believe me, try to search something on Google then look at your social media feed. The merchandise about those will come up and that was creepy. I was talking to my friend about Fifa, then my social media was full of soccer merchandise, EA gaming and gaming gear. … Continue reading Privacy, Surveillance, and the Price of Content

OPEN AND CLOSED SOURCES

So before we start this week, I have little question for you guys. Are you using Apple or Android? Simple right? Do you know what kind of system in your mobile phone? open or close? As we all know that computer software was created by source code. The easiest way to describe is “every programmes need blueprint to build it, like the majority of physical products. However, programmes are different. There are 2 types of programmes like I mention before “Close” and “Open” software. Such as IOS from Apple is close software and Android is open software. Open Source Like … Continue reading OPEN AND CLOSED SOURCES

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND CONTENT CONTROL INDUSTRY

Most of the contents have copyrights now to protect their ideas and passion. This week we focused on trademark and copyrights. As Travis mention before in tutorial that “most of the branded, they are selling the brand” Which is true in my opinion. He mention about “WWE” that they are fighting for the champion belt. However, they are fighting for the brand which is WWE belt. This is interesting that the main point of they are selling isn’t ticket or pay per view TV, but branded and characters. Think about Marvel that they cannot film X-Men because the license belongs … Continue reading INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND CONTENT CONTROL INDUSTRY

HYPER-REALITY AND SIMULATION

Personally, I play game regularly and this topic is in my field (I guess). Baudrillard defined “hyperreality” as “the generation by models of a real without origin or reality” hyperreality is a representation, a sign, without an original referent. During to the developing of technology, this may not be futuristic anymore. This visual world allows you to become whatever you want. From athletic in 2k and Fifa or criminal in Grand Theft Auto to simulation war such as Call Of Duty and Battlefield franchise. The Sims franchise is also another good example that let you become a world creator basically. … Continue reading HYPER-REALITY AND SIMULATION

Framing and the Construction of Perception

Following to this week topic after mid session break, I found that this topic is quite interesting. There are so many information on the internet included social media as well. The same topic in difference places can be misunderstanding regarding to the point of view we look at. Because of our own perspective about things, It frame us about how we think. As you can see the photos on top that you can see this photo in different ways even it’s the same photo. This photo could be young lady looks away or side portrait of the old lady. So … Continue reading Framing and the Construction of Perception

Memetic warfare

Before we started about “what is memetic warfare” is we should start first about memes. What is meme really? We have been talking about memes for the whole semester since at the started. Ted already show us how powerful meme is because it’s easy to recognise and easy to understand a massage. As I’m an international student from Thailand, we also sharing the same meme as around the world with the same template. The first ever meme I saw was “Bad Luck Bryan” I found this really interesting that this can spread really fast and everybody can understand it even … Continue reading Memetic warfare

INTERNET CAN OUT SMART AI??

“What if computers could take the words we type on the internet and convert them into a language that describes what they actually mean? Analyzing data pulled from social media would reveal insights into the deeper questions about our real motives and feelings, instead of mere statistics.” (Pearson, 2015) This is crazy as it sounds, there is tons of information on the internet (included all the blog post we made). The concept of collective intelligence in my understating is “how people are sharing their knowledge together and more effective to reach the target”. The best example based on animal such as … Continue reading INTERNET CAN OUT SMART AI??
