What does social media mean to YOU?
The latest project I had to work on was a video where I had to ask different age groups what they thought about the internet and how did they use it.
Do they use facebook, Skype, Google and WHY?
After interviewing different people, I noticed that each person has its own agenda. Each person uses social media for different purposes.
Lynn Mourad, a 9 year old, was asked why did she use the...

Is it true?
Rumors has it that facebook is going to SHUT down on march 15.
According to some, the reasons why Zuckerberg wants to shut the site is because running facebook has become too “stressful”.
But many claim that the rumor is false!
The interesting part of this situation is if facebook does shut down, how would people react? Will it be for the best or should facebook keep working?

Do I know you?
How can anyone be sure that whomever they talk to on facebook or on any online website are actually real?
Or they are who they say they are?
Many questions should be asked….
Yesterday in class, we watched this amazing documentary (catfish) about this guy, Nev, who met this young artist on facebook. Her name was Abby. For months, they would talk on the phone, exchange emails, etc…

Gowalla fever
Gowalla is a copy cat of foursquare…
Its the same concept but has more options. Wherever you are, you check in and show your friends where you are, what you are doing and who your hanging out with.
But now with gowalla you can actually take pictures of the place ur in and post it on your profile!
Can you say privacy?
I personally prefer foursquare because its faster and easier to use....

Who can compete
Marc zuckerberg became very famous and the richest youngest man in the world because of one simple creation : FACEBOOK.
I would understand if others were to try and become as famous. But facebook works and in my opinion always will. It will always be the first social medium that will rule all others.
Still, there still are some pretty talented people in this world that will one day invent a...

Two faced Marc
Marc Zuckerberg is the creator of FACEBOOK.
“The social network” is a movie about the college life of Zuckerberg and how he created facebook.
In the movie, Marc seems rude, arrogant and very sure of himself. At the same time, he seems conservative and indifferent.
In class, we got to watch who the real Marc Zuckerberg is. I think the actor they chose to be Marc, somehow looks...

She worked in CNN for 20 years and got to talk to us about her experience as a journalist.
too bad we couldn’t ask more personal questions. As soon as she started her speech she warned us not to ask her anything about her past summer.
Which was too bad because I am sure half of the...

Attending the GEEK fest
It was a thursday night when I had to attend the geek fest at Plum, Monot with my classmates.
I have to say it was rather interesting.
At first I wasn’t that excited to attend the festival especially because it was all part of an assignment. But i have to admit, it was also an adventure.
We had to take pictures and videos of the event but unfortunately it was impossible to do so. It was...

What could be more interesting than this...
On a simple friday afternoon, just passing by new buildings with my friends, on bristol street, shockingly we see a car inside a building.
We stop, we stare, we observe and make sure that our eyes are seeing correctly.
and indeed there it was!
An old gray car, just parked inside a new building’s hallway!
Of course strange things always happen, but seeing that for the first...

Interesting enough to know how someone could lose...
BIG shocker!
How about that? someone losing her phone in the restroom of LAU.
Blackberry users are usually addicted to their phones, always staring at them, texting or calling. Never out of sight!
When someone leaves their blackberry behind, something must have gone wrong!
but what could it be? because no matter what, no matter where the person is the phone is always beside them, where they...
