"The Best and the Worst aspects of the Internet"

Internet by Steve Rhode though CC Linces

150 years have been since Graham invented telephone. Invention of telephone is groundbreaking because it allowed people to contacting other person faraway. Afterwards, Cell-phone was developed to enable people to wireless call. using text message and video telephone fuctions also enable people to communicate easier and see each other's face through the phone while calling. Communications technology was more developed by using a computer. people can access to internet to contact to others or find diverse useful informations anywhere and anytime through computer, which make contemporary people's life change comfortably. However, Internet is sometimes used for bad thing, which lead people to suffer from privacy infingement.

With development of internet, people can access and search their desired information easily. In the past, students had to search books in the library in order to complete assignments and written reports. However, contemporary students can use internet at home with drinking coffee to access massive information which saved significant amounts of time. 

Internet acted as a medium for people to achieve their dream. Recently, auditions programs such as "American idols" and "Top Talent" spring up everywhere. People with dancing and singing skills upload their pictures and profiles on internet. In addition, candidates can upload their videos in "YouTube" which allowed them to apply without visting the audition site resulting more opportunities in achieving their goal. In Korea, a number of celebrities debuted by being scouted due to photos and videos uploaded in the Internet. Internet became new route that enabled to achieve people's dream which was not imaginable in the past.

Recently, Social network society like Facebook and Twitter is really popular in contemporary people. They can use smartphone or internet to take pictures anywhere and upload their comments and photos in internet and their own blog which are shared with every internet users freely. Such Freedom enabled fast spread of what celebrities are doing at certain person. Internet users having anonymity and posting text and photos in their perspective results false romors and misunderstanding that lead negative affect to celebrities. Privacy infringment due to Internet became a big social issue. Some of Korean celebrities committed suicide due to malicious comments and false rumors. Celebrities need popular among the public, so they have to leave the entertainment business if they lose their popular due to false rumors and negative comments.

Internet allows contemporary people to enjoy a comfortable life. They can get useful informations in Internet freely and  enjoy funny activities such as internet surfing, playing game with others come from another countries, and listening to a lot of musics. However, there is presence of negative aspects that did not cause in the past. Internet is used as a tool to infringe other people's privacy and drive into death. We must prudent Internet users who only take advantage of Internet.

Weekly Blog Post #5 "Anonymous, an Internet meme"

As you know, Using of anonymous causes serious social problems.

Especially, Internet users having anonymity and uploading their text and photos in their perspective results false rumors and misunderstanding that lead negative affect to celebrities.

In Korea, a few celebrities in Korea committed suicide since they could not stand malicious comments and false rumors. It is a tragic affair.

Therefore, few Korea portal web sites already are working on real-name registration when Internet user want to post comment anywhere.

I think it is necessary thing and other portal sites also should join in real-name registration system.

Ds 106 #5 "Web"

A lot of useful "Web" pages.

First of many new web sites on ds106

I am not good at computer skills, so I was concerned about how I can pass this CIS 0835 class. According to my expectation, there were a lot of classmates who have good computer skills when I attended first class. 

Professor informed me of many useful "Web" sites, which is used  while I muddled on posting blog and doing presentation.

1. Blogger.com
It was my first time to make my own blog. Blog was nothing but reading article to me. I would never think about blog before. I am doing blog post assignment by using "Blogger.com".
After I pass this class, I have plan to keep posting blog instantly.

I had ever uploaded photos on SNS sites. Posting photos on "Flicker.com" can be interworking and share between "Flicker.com" and other SNS sites such as Twitter or Facebook.



Picnik by Torley through CC Lincesing
3. Picnik.com
Actually, Photo shop computer software is not easy to use to beginner; however, "Picnik" website is really easy to use for edited photos. I can edit my photo what I want to change, so I already used it one time for my first ds106 assignment.

Ds 106 #4 "Writing"

"Writing" Catch Copy in commercial film.

1 quote day
Type up a simple line/text/meme today

What is the best marketing strategy to imprint brand on people's mind. It is a commercial film with strong catch copy.
When you turn on the TV, you can access to a lot of commercial films on TV, but how many advertising can you remenber?. Only advertising with strong catch copy can be reminded viewers of contents on TV.

This video is old commercial film in Korea. A pretty girl is sitting with drinking coffee in bus, and a guy is standing next to her. When she gets off bus, she said "I'm leaving". He also gets off followed her. They drink a coffee together and he talks to her "I missed my stop". Thet are laughing at.

It created sensation in Korea when this commercial film turned out first. Most of Korean girls have conservative mind about date, so they rarely talk to guy for dating with first.

However, in this commercial film, lady try to drop a hint I have interest on you, so let me know what you think about me.

This advertising destroyed traditional and tacit Korean ladies' rule, which present go-ahead face for your love.

It is official announcement. I am a lonely. If you have any interests on me, feel free to call or text me anytime. i am ready to respond your approaching.

Ds 106 #3 "Video"

Audition programs such as "American idol" or "Top talent" on TV spring up !!!

Play by Play video to be touched
Do you know Paul Potts?

He is a opera singer and he attained fame and became a popular person  after he won the "Top Talent" audition program. He also visited to meet Korean fans a couple of years ago. I got impressed his song and his life stories.

There are so many Audition TV programs in Korea, and they get super attention from the public in Korea with high rating more than 15%.

Audition programs is to select one person who is the best on specific field such as singing or dancing. I think that those audition programs acted as a medium for people to achieve their dream. In the past, Common people had a prejudice that celebrities such as singer and actor had have good visual, whish is more important that splendid talents. However, these days, every people can participate in TV audition programs and show off abilities to others.

Lool at below video. She also became a super star such as Paul Patts in Korea.

 Her name is Kim Yae Rim, 19 years old. She received attention from viewers while she was taking part in audition program. I also like her since she has exclusice voice tone and cute face. She came from U.S to achieve her dream middle of attending school.

TV audition programs can give candidates more opportunities, and also viewers can be touched and feel funny while watching on TV.

Ds 106 #2 "Design"

"Car Design"


Porsche !! Are you Kidding me? Damn Design !!



Porsche Carrera GT by Foto Sleuth through CC Licensing

Superhero on me is that those who drive nice car, which have nice body shape and super power engine.

This car is Porsche Carrera GT, which is one of my favorite cars. Porsche is really famous sport car brand aroung the world. Those who have interstes on Car want to buy any kinds of Porsche sport car because Porsche has stibborn pride of car design. Both big head light and Porsche emblem on car's hood are specific symbols of this car brand.

However, recently, I think Porsche is a little bit crazy. The Porsche try to meet the requirements of this age since sales have been down compared with other sport car's brand.



Porsche Panamera 4S by M 93 through CC Lincesing


Porsche Panamera 4S by M 93 through CC Lincesing

No way !!! Look at this car !!! this look like big frog contaminated by radioactivity. The Porsche has started to produce a family sedan car like as other big common car companies. The Porsche is extraordinary sport car brand. I hope the Porsche to go back to initial mind with stubborn pride.

PS: It is just my subjective opinion.

Ds 106 #1 "Visual"

 My very Own Spubble

Go to Beach by Hyunki Choi through CClinces

Jump up to the Sky by Hyunki Choi through CClinces

I decided to do "Your Own Spubble" assignment from ds106 in "Visual" part.

At First, I chose those two pictures. I took the those pictures with my friends at last summer in 2010.

I was really fat guy until when I attended high school. So, I started to lose my weight for dating with girl friend. I had never dated with girl friend before I did diet.

Last summer, I went to Beach, named by "Hae un Dea" most famous beach in Korea, for the first time. The "Hae un Dea" beach is really famous because only those who have self confident about own body and visual can go to the that beach.

I ate only selad and protein shake since three weeks ago to make body shape. Before going here, I reduced 4kg and gained 3 kg muscle. I hung out with my best friends at "Hae un Dea" beach, and I  ate immorderately on my way back to home since I counld not stand eating visible everthing !!!

I love to go to beach again, but I will not never do it again...

Weekly Blog Post #3 "We are all artists"

"Army"

I made some funny photos through photo-shop with my friend's help. Can you recognize what these photos mean?

When I walk on shibuya or shinjuku street, I can see a lot of girls wearing military looks. They might like to wear green color jacket with printing military uniform.

Every Korean guys involved in me hate really hate military print and green color fashion clothes because most of Korean guys should serve in army for two years, 730 days. Most worst thing is that we need to go to army between 20 to 30 years old. It is most bright time in whole life. In Korea, joke realted with army is worst slang in Korean guys society. You guys come from other countries never image that, but it is true though...

Therefore, Korean guys never wear military style even though military trend is in the groove this year. If you have plan to work for fashion industry, I am asking you a favor that you don't have to bring military style into Korea without super brave !!! it can let them remind horrible barrack life while serving in army.

I also have been there for two years. I had not went away from my hometown before going to army. While serving in army, I met a lot of friends and had good experiences. It is useful thing in my life. However, I won't never mention about it again because I felt really bad emotion when writing blog post.

PS:

"Hey !!! go back to army forever" "I hope that you are drafted into the army again"

Stop talking it to Korean guys. These is worse slang than nightmare or Fuxx.

Four Icon Challenge

What does this indicate? Imaging!!

Mid term exam

"Visual"
Is it freedom of expression?

image; miss A's Showcase in Singapore by avaricedevil's photostream ;CCL

When I did second blog-spot assignment, I found a lot of picture of girl group. Most of them are under 20 years old. However, they are wearing extremely revealing dress on stage to attract fans' attention. There are many girl groups in Korea and Japan. They have pretty face and slim body. But problem is that every members of girl group have almost same proportion. They compete against other all girl group members. In addition, their popularity is banded according to fashion and visual appearance even if they are involved in same group. Due to this situation, their clothes become revealed and flashily more and more to receive attention.

Recently, revealing dress code is refrained by broadcasting station, especially in music program stage, in Korea. Viewers want members of girl group not to wear dress flashily because they are pretty much young, and they are often forced to wear revealing dress for entertainment agency that they are belong to.

I also enjoy watching music program on television to see girl group. As we know, they are trying to show themselves to viewers. However, music industry is really competed world. They have to inform their music and performance to people. I hope that they do not become just commercialization in the entertainment world. They are young and do not have right of choice.

What would you do first when you have an important date or a meeting? You will consider what clothes to wear while opening the closet. Despite the gender, clothes are the best means to appeal themselves. Fashion can make people to have confidence and to appear trustworthy. Surely for women putting make up is a way to attract people and to improve their appearance.

 

1. Fashion industry publishes new fashion items and the trend of the year.

2. Fashion leader who catch fashion trend.

3. Fashion became one of important pop cultures.

                                         Fashion Leader >

1. Where do people get information about fashion?

2. Celebrities should pay attention to their dress code. They    are often judged by bloggers and viewers as the best or worst dresser.


< Japan Fashion Magazine

Due to the developed social network, celebrities should pay attention to their dress code even when they go to the airport, to a restaurant and a convenient store. If they dress well, their clothing will be a fashion icon on which people support. However, if they do not, their fashion is robbed right and left consistently.


          
 Celebrities' causual dress >

1.This is often used as a fashion business strategy. 

2.Brand “Tory Burch” is a good example. A woman named Tory Burch, who is influential in high American society, launched a Brand named “Tory Burch”.

3.She used good ways to promote her brand. She is so smart CEO. 

1.Sometimes, this would result bad consequences. People are not rich enough and cannot afford to buy luxury brand to follow celebrities’ dress.

2.Instead it causes prevalent knockoffs in the market.

        Fashion is a way of expression and is significant in the pop culture. In recent days, fashion is highly regarded as one’s individuality and fashion would be important part of people’s life style.    

Weekly Blog Post #2 "Pop Culture"

                  I have been studying for a year and a half in Japan. When I came to Japan for the first time, it was hard to meet Korean culture. However, many Korean teenagers were eager to Japanese culture such as animation, music and manga.

                  However, now it is easy to access Korean music in Japan. Korean girl groups are on Japanese television show programs and commercials and it indicates the spread of Korean culture in Japan.

                  Korean girl groups are working in various fields. Girl’s generation, Kara, and 2NE1 are representative of Korean music girl groups. Their music is often located in a high rank on a music chart, and many people see, listen, and sing their music through “You Tube”. The reason why Korean girl groups are popular in Japan is that they have powerful performance and great proportion compared of Japanese girl groups I think. In addition, Paris Hilton, most famous celebrity in the world, posted 2NE1 music video on her blog with comment “why U.S cannot make singer like 2NE1” and it became really a hot issue in Korea. Recently, the concert was held in Paris successfully. It shows that the Korean music has become well known around the world.

                  The people who enjoy listening to Korean music also show curiosity on girl group’s fashion, activity, and even their comments. Few years ago, Japanese fashion, known as Harajuku Fashion, was popular among Korean teenagers. Now in an opposite situation, where Korean culture is coming to Japan.

                   Recently, number of friends asking about Girls’ generation and Kara has increased. It is really good news to hear that people who do not know well about Korea have curiosity on Korean culture along the spread of Korean girl groups’ music. I hope that this current situation is not only a temporary trend, and it keeps to grow constantly as a cultural icon.        

Weekly Blog Post #1 "Internet"

Using Internet as bad method



I found interest true event about Internet in my country Korea.

At first, reader have to know this word Bon-jwa. This word means that one who considers and labels himself the master of a particular field.
In 2006, a man by the name of Kim Bon-jwa made enormous profit by spreading Japanese porn videos through P2P sites.
Not only did he upload porn videos, he also posted personal reviews, actress profiles and characteristic of porn video firms. He gained instant popularity, diligently uploading massive amounts of videos each day with a large group of followers.
Kim, who was a user of "Toto Disk", started to upload Japanese porn videos on "Toto Disk" amd was able to earn tens of thousands of dollars in a short period.
He was soon scouted by a P2P site called "Sega Disk" with cantract of $3,000/month salary and a 50% profit from the videos he uploaded. However, this contract was soon breached as "Sega Disk" did not pay him the promised salary.

He was arrested by police on charge of the illegal distribution of Japanese porn vidoes. Especially, Bon-jwa Kim is remembered for his really famous quote on arrest, "only those who do not have porn videos on their hard-disk deserve to throw a stome at me!!". The story goes that no one could say a word.
Spreading illegal Japanese porn videos remains a serious problem as hundreds of copycats continue to appear and teenagers are easy to access to porn videos after the incident of 2006.
