1.) "When it is more important to be seen than to be talented, it is hardly surprising that the less gifted among us are willing to fart our way into the spotlight." - Lakshmi Chaudhry. What is your reaction?
I think she is right because people like William Hung that had no talent for the American Idol and ended up with debut album singing others song. Stupidity leads you to the spotlight but yet people with talent makes its harder to get to the spotlight.
2.) What would you do if someone took a compromising picture of you and posted it on the Internet? Should people have a right to say if they don't want a picture online?
I would be mad at myself for even giving that photographer a glimse of my body because it leads to negative thoughts about me and what I do. I should have every right to have say so in my own picture because its my body my privacy.
3.) Is the "truly private life" an illusion? Why or why not?
No, because your mom can view your private life and things. There is no such thing as private life unless you have your own room thats a private life. Comparing then from today, private life was an illusion today your life is not private you commit a crime everythign abouy you is being noatble for others to view. Paparazzi does not exist to them because they take pictures of everyone and everything.
4.) What does the author mean by the "Creolization of media"?
To render; impose rules and structure, which makes the Creole language completely coherent and expressive, on par with any language. What we are witnessing is the Creolization of media
5.) “Things that were not silly. I tried to make my posts highly stylized and short, about things I would imagine people would want to read or comment on.”- I've wondered this about websites like reddit.com. Could the same be said for newspapers?
No, because newspapers are for news and things about stuff in Miami around Florida to be clear.
6.) When she worked at American Apparel, management posted encouraging remarks on employee MySpace pages." Personally, I find this weird. What do you think?
I think it is weird cool because others can view that you have a great busy life as well as a life on MySpace. Other managers could view the comments and hire her by her previous job, but i agree its sort of weird.
8.) What is your reaction to the article? Did you enjoy it?
Yes, because it teaches me not to take offers like "Oh I'm a model photographer can i take a picture of your amazing body? " scams and etc. So yes I enjoyed it, she really handled it well. She's beautiful and should display her talent and body else where than the internet.
