About Flickr

Flickr is a photo-sharing site and is the most popular service of its kind in the UK. Members upload their photos to the site and choose whether to make them public or just share with family and friends in their network.I think it is very useful for users.They can not only share their own pictures but also exchange private ideas and opinions. So, I choose Flickr as a case-study ...

Social Media

It is a trend that more and more people start to regard the social network as a social media, and they generally believe that so-called social media just likes a mess of nets of Facebook, YouTube Myspace,Flicker,Wikipedia etc. In China, there are Renren, Youku, Tudou and so on. It concludes text,images ,sounds and video clips. Some examples follow:

Online Forum : Baidu Post Bar (China)
Blog :Blogger, WordPress
Social Network Site : Facebook, Renren(China)
VideoSharing Network: YouTube, Youku(China)
Picture Sharing Network: Flicker

Social media is a platform for sharing ideas, experience and opinions. It is very useful for people to communicate each other on the internet. In the information age, it is just a part of our life. Doesn’t it? We are happy because of this platform and a free exchange in the net.

I think Social Media contains a concept—humanization. Sharing opinions, art and commerce of these collaboration, and searching for friends and partners – it is basis for people to create civilization. Now, we are in the Social media, we share and enjoy these new opinions, new service, new technology……

THE BEAUTY

I very like the theme-Beauty.Indeed, everyone will have different opinions in this subject. How to define the beauty? It looks like so difficult to answer this question. I don't believe that anyone could use a sentence or a feeling to define the beauty. Perhaps,for it ,there is a different understanding among the people.Beauty may be ebullient, pregnant ,artifical ,natural...... and so on.

Our preliminary plan tend to show a comparison of artificial beauty and natural beauty in short film.But we maybe could not draw a conclude the artiricial beauty just is best or natural beauty is best. By comparison , we want to help people to feel and experience the beauty and leave them more thinking.

Conversation

The conversation is a very interesting and lively book. It is very useful and essential for lover of film. And it shows the interesting and meaningful conversation of two film artists, Michael Ondaatje ,the author of "The English Patient", and Walter Murch, the editor of the film version of the book ,who all possess a great passion for film. In this book, Murch provides great insight into his specialist fields of film making and discusses all his major work. It's not all technical however and there are frequent, and equally interesting, digressions into cinema and the arts in general.

By reading this book, I begin to know a little about Walter Murch and I have the great interesting in his experience and talent. He is a infinitely resourceful and versatile artist. Actually, he is highly educated and extremely widely read. He may be kind of musicologist and a cultural theoretician. He has spend much of his working as a sound editor and rerecording mixer and then as film editor. I love his films so much!

Usability Test

When i have read the Usability Test, I sadly find my blog looks like very simple and need a overall design for it. This is my first blog, but i want to make it more entertainning and colourful.

I think images and vedio can enrich the blog and attract readers, I prepare to put some pictures into my blog, it's very important for a blog. And a overall design is crucial. It includes colour,text font,background music and format of the blog. It must seem to be harmonize. And these also can be changed usually. My blog's base colour is green. It's a hoping colour and my favorite colour. I think I will change to black( a cool colour) soon. It maybe a different feeling for readers. Also the organization of blog must be clear. I will try my best to design my blog and make it more interesting.

Webby Awards

First, I think that Webby Awards site is very very funny, creative and special. In this website, we can see many fresh and interesting little productions.

And ,all of them, I have a special fondness for Turbo Gene Test. Its pictorial surface is fresh and clean. Its music is simple, but users can integrate into the picture by the music. For users ,it is a personal experience and taste. The little test gives users a real feeling. It perhaps tells users it’s a real world but a invented and networked world. This is very important. I think this website respects people’s real feelings and tastes. It’s perfect.

Ken Robinson says Schools Kill Creativity

First, I believe really that everyone have enough creativity to create new things. It seems to be a big and instinctive potentiality of creativity. However, it is in exploiting the potentiality endlessly that human beings have a higher level of development and create a new world belongs to themselves.

Ken Robinson’s talks about Schools Kill Creativity struck deep into the minds of people. And people gives a thought strongly at that time. It is worth while to reflect on modern school education. As a student, I aspire to provide my capability of creativity from school. I think it needs the common efforts of students and professors. It’s interactional and bidirectional. And I think the system of education should be flexible and interesting. Professor should give students a relaxed learning circumstance.

The future of communication

This is a surprising and innovative vedio. There are many bold assumptions in this vedio. But ,the possibility was not ruled out for all this will become true. It’s a dream, but it’s just in front of us. Internet is a quite place where people can communicate with each other easily and really. Internet make our distances more and more near. Internet make our world smaller. In a manner of speaking, net world is a real and mythical world, we live in.

In this vedio, I have a deep feeling about memory selling. “In 2027……,memory selling becomes a normal trading……” What a terrible thing! What a exciting thing! People maybe hope for this moment . Because they can share their memory ,and they can rich their memory. This is not a simply matter but a good thing.It is useful for us. But ,memory really can be sell? Money really can buy the human memory? And ,I don’t know what the world’s coming to. I dare not even think.

Also ,experience is real thing, just like a real world or a real net world. We experience past and present. We look forward to the experience of future.
