Never A Right Time To Say Goodbye *Chris Brown Voice*

Here is where I received this picture
After taking this class, I discovered not only how easy it is to blog, but genuinely how fun it could actually be. I realized that this blog could be a foot in the door for maybe a more personal blog that I can create. This class helped me understand how to create a blog, what I can include in it, and also what is appealing to my readers. My classmates did an amazing job with their feedback and that also molded the way I few blogging now. I have considered creating a personal blog with content I am passionate about, simply because this class opened that door for me that I had never opened before. Here and here are two of my favorite blog posts that I have done. Along with my joy for responses and responding to others, here and here are some of my favorite responses I have done.

There are two students in this class whom’s blogs have really stood out to me and I would love if they got recognition for their posts. Beau and Shana posts were always interesting to read and very easy to engage with. Every post was entirely easy to respond to. Beau brought many things to light and introduced them in a way where they were very informing and positive. Shana always had an interesting input and her opinions have such value to them! I also want to give a small shout out to Khalil because his posts were always straight-forward and real about the topics he dicussed. Overall I am grateful for what this class brought me. Not only did I learn to blog but I also was able to engage with some students that I would have no engaged with otherwise! I can take everything I learned in this class and use it in the future.

Improvise

One thing that I always have found extremely interesting is improvisation. I grew up watching comedy with my parents and as I got older I have gone to the “improv” in Los Angeles many times. Improv is truly a great example of collaborating whenever it is done in scenes and groups. After watching Tina Fey’s video about improv, I realized that the techniques are actually very interesting. I loved that she said that in improv you always have to agree. If you do not agree then you ended the scene before it even started. Many things in life we automatically say no to, but improv is beautiful for the reason of always saying yes and running with it. She used the example of saying “wow it is really hot in here” and then her partner in the scene could say “well what did you expect in hell?” I also love that there is no wrong answer in improv. That you could say it is hot in here and envision yourself in an inferno of hell but your partner says “well you do have fifty jackets on, maybe lighten t...

Pepsi Ad - The Controversy

Image
Here is where I got this picture Today in class we discussed meme's and ad's that went viral and brought up an immense amount of attention. The attention for the Pepsi Ad specifically, came back pretty negative and many people were not pleased with this ad whatsoever. This ad went wrong in many ways and it makes me, and plenty of other people, wonder why no one creating the ad realized the issues they were creating. The company tried to mock what seemed to be "similar" to a black lives matter movement. They knew that was relevant in the country right now, yet what they did was romanticise the protests to make them seem like they were one big happy party almost, instead of what they actually are. That being that they are heartfelt and those protesting are definitely not happy, which is the point of them protesting. The point of the protests is the issue with police brutality and how people of color are treated differently in this country than "white people....

AI vs. Humans

Image
After reading the lecture in TopHat for class today, there was an example that stood out to me that I wanted to expand on. It was the subject of algorithms and how people compare artificial intelligence, also known as "AI" to humans. It has been an ongoing controversial topic of whether AI's can make conscious decisions. After reading the lecture it is noted that the AI that was sitting in class could only respond to questions that it was taught the answers to. Many people believe that in creating AI's that the way you program them is how they respond. So you could program an AI to answer all these questions correctly, for instance, if you put an AI with a human-sounding voice behind door number one and a human behind door number two, and ask both the same set of questions and both answer with the same answers, you would not be able to distinguish the difference between the human and the AI. Yet, it is believed that since the AI does not actually FEEL or have any sort...
