FRO12 LC16

The most interesting workshop I attended this past semester was a workshop on the current social media. The professor/ head of the workshop showed us many different sites and videos that were really cool and showed the power of the social media and technology and how it can be used and altered. Although it didn’t affect me so much and it didn’t really inspire me in my first semester, it showed me some interesting things people can do with the current use of technology and how people believe some of the fake links, commercials or adds different companies may use. For example, BBC made a huge april fools prank on all its viewers with a polar bear ad. I thought that it was very amusing. Also, on the news, a picture of a very bad looking scene from 5 years ago was used to describe a scene that happened a few weeks ago (different picture for a different place). I thought that was preety cool. The photography workshop and voices were not so appealing to me. Although the voices monologues were actually pretty funny some of them and it was great to hear one of my own classmates’ monologues being read and performed on stage in front of all the fro classes.
