Parody News | DJW
https://djw302.wordpress.com/2013/07/10/parody-news
Back to college at 50. Asymp; 9 Comments. Since that time, I haven’t really been one that has been drawn to parody news. I found it somewhat insulting to the stories and I felt guilty if I found them funny. I would occasionally read the comic section of the newspaper and often there was Doonesbury written by Garry Trudeau who in 1986 showed how satire could affect social change. I enjoyed watching the Colbert Report this weekend. He seems intelligent in his satire compared with South Park. I agree that C...

Video Games; Are They Too Violent? | DJW
https://djw302.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/yesterday-i-played-plants-vs-zombies-for-30
Back to college at 50. Video Games; Are They Too Violent? Asymp; 3 Comments. Yesterday I played Plants vs. Zombies for 30 minutes and as I suspected, it made me anxious, nervous, and agitated. I read both articles but the one that stood out the most was Death From Above because the image does look like a video game that people are playing now. My nephew and my son who are seven years apart but raised in my home both played Grand Theft Auto. Are the games we play too violent? According to WikiLeaks, Julia...

Deceptive Advertising | DJW

Back to college at 50. Asymp; 10 Comments. Douglas Atkin states, People whether they’re joining a cult or a brand do so for exactly the same reasons. They need to belong and they want to make meaning. We need to figure out what the world is about and we need the company of others. Look at computers and you’ll find people are either Apple lovers or PC lovers. Why not be both? Goodman, B., and Rushkoff, D. (2004, November 9). The Persuaders. Larr; Previous post. Next post →.

Where will you draw the line? | DJW
https://djw302.wordpress.com/2013/06/26/how-low-can-we-go-with-the-bar-3
Back to college at 50. Where will you draw the line? Asymp; 6 Comments. How low can we go with the bar of reality TV? I believe we can go as far as we let it. No one sets this bar except us, the TV audience, and if we don’t like something or think it’s gone too far than it’s up to us to let someone know. So what do we do? Personally, I think Honey Boo Boo is a misguided little girl who has a mother that loves her very much and allows her to be herself. They’re not very classy but then if you pu...Retriev...

Native Apps…good or bad? | DJW
https://djw302.wordpress.com/2013/07/17/native-apps-good-or-bad
Back to college at 50. Native Apps…good or bad? Asymp; Leave a comment. Native Apps versus HTML. It is all way too techi for me, but I’ll give it a try. Native Apps is an application program that has been developed for use on a particular platform or device (Rouse, 2013). HTML. Is a W3C (World Wide Web Consortium of companies involved with the Internet and the Web) specification that defines the fifth major revision of the Hypertext Markup Language (QuinStreet Inc., 2013). A native app for HSU students?

Could Felix The Cat be considered a cult film? | DJW
https://djw302.wordpress.com/2013/07/20/could-felix-the-cat-be-considered-a-cult-film
Back to college at 50. Could Felix The Cat be considered a cult film? Asymp; 7 Comments. Cult films transgress common notions of good and bad taste, and they challenge genre conventions and coherent storytelling (Cultographies’ Definition of Cult Cinema). In the Felix shorts there was plenty of times when the story would cross over to bad taste and it seemed like that was the intention in the 20’s and 30’s was to be a little daring and challenge the convention of being proper.

Media and Popular Culture – Midterm | DJW
https://djw302.wordpress.com/2013/06/24/media-and-popular-culture-midterm
Back to college at 50. Media and Popular Culture – Midterm. Asymp; 10 Comments. The life we share is a thug affair. A panel presented a discussion on hip-hop. There were two Blacks, one Latino, and one Chinese. Three men and one women; they talked about how hip-hop negatively affects our culture. Then it’s doing a terrible thing, it’s promoting despair. Yang appears to know that to make change it cannot just be talked about, but has to start with the individual willing to put the effort in to make change...

July 17, 2013. Would it be worth your while to develop a native app for HSU students’ smart phones? Http:/ www.businessinsider.com/html5-vs-native-apps-for-mobile-2013-6?
