DS106#1-Visual-Triple Troll Attack, GO!

This is my first ds106 assent!! I picked assignment from Visual, and the assignment is called "Triple Troll Attack, Go!" OK..now..here is my work.

I picked three excellent innovative persons !!

1) Steve Jobs 2) Martin Luther King 3) Mark Zuckerberg

First, I pick Steve Jobs as base picture, because he is the most prominent and famous innovative person today.

Second, I pick quotes of Martin Luther King, because the word "I have a dream" is a key word and origin of innovators' mind. The ways of innovation of Steve Jobs and Martin Luther King is different, but their essence of innovative mind is same.."I have a dream"..so that, they have a dream to change something in this world..that is, I believe, Innovative mind and innovation actually comes from.

Third, I pick Mark Zuckerberg, because he is the most  famous young innovator who found Facebook.
Facebook that he create is now the biggest Social Media...and also the reason why I pick him is because I watched the movie called "Social Network" that is pretty much all about him and Facebook.

I think that innovation is one of the very important things in our society today!! 

How do I create this photo?
1) Search Steve Jobs's picture on Google.
2) Find Martin Luther King's quotes.
3) Save the picture as paint file, and editing with paint.
4) Place the Quote and put the name, Mark Zuckerberg,  under the quote.

Weekly blog#4 About Malware

Today, the social media are wide spreading everywhere and make our life fascinating.
For example, "Facebook" and "Twitter" gives us entertainments!!
With the social media development "Malware" , malicious software that contain elaborate designed programming to destroy PC operation, hacking information data, and losing person’s privacy, we became easier to lose the information from our computer. We learned about Malware in the class so far, and it was on the class quiz. So, I assume that most of you guys have some knowledge of Malware.
I have several experiences that I got Malware in my computer. For example, when I was staying at the Hotel, I, first, could not connect the Internet because of my anti-virus system. So, I called hotel stuff to fix my laptop. After he fixed my laptop, I was trying to check my email. At the moment, Malware attack my laptop and start to steal my information data. The reason I got Malware on my computer is because the hotel stuff somehow delete my portion of anti-virus system contains anti-malware.

Also, one thing I think that I have gotten Malware on my computer is because some of my information which I entered some random website, somehow, disclosed to the random other site. So, I am pretty sure that I got Malware and they were hacking my information from my computer.


Not relates to my case, but I learned from the class that we have high possibility getting Malware through Facebook and Twitter.  Specially, Facebook contains a lot of personal information data, so we must need to be careful of Malware when we open Facebook, or especially got friends adding action.


To prevent the distraction by Malware, we have to install strong anti-virus system, setting powerful firewall, and anti-spay ware system.


Now, I am going introduce YouTube video clip that explain about the procedure of protection from Malware attack.



Not only this anti-virus system that introduced in the video clip, but also there are a lot of good anti-virus system that you can remove Malware!!

Beside I am using Norton security software.



PS: Final Exam Question:Which Japanese well known industry that has almost gotten malware attack?
1)Sony 2)TOSHIBA 3)Kawasaki Havy 4)Softbank

Weekly Blogpost#3 :Timmmmyboy-We Are All Artists

I listened to Timmmmyboy's ,Tim Owens, lecture on the radio. I agree with Tim Owen's idea that every one can be an artist. I believe that "art" is pretty much all about collection of subjective view. What I mean is if you think the photo on the wall is such a artistic, means it is art, and person who took that photo can be an artist. Also, if I think my drawing is incredible design, I can be a artist. This is what I mean we are all artist. Beside, Tim Owen think that "we are all artists" because of the point of more like outer factor does not really can be a interference of being an artist.  For example, a creativity is not inherited, a creativity enhance when you feel uncomfortable such as when you are hungry, or fostering creativity, the environment is important.

I surprise about that when people hungry we are more creative. well, I don't really think that when we are hungry we are more creative, because when I am hungry I have no motivation to draw a painting or playing a guitar. And, my brain does not really work when I am hungry because there is no energy in my body. Another thing he mention is that we can improve our creativity with practicing. I think so too, because most of people can be really good at drawing if we practice really hard, and in fact that all of art students in the college practice it every class.

Anyway, Tim Owen strongly states that "ds106" gives us great opportunity and environment to foster our creativity and make us become an artist. I think that something like ds106 that can edit with computer or Internet help us a lot and make us easier to create creativity design or art.

Well, I don't really think I am an artist, but as Tim Owen says, everyone can be an artist, so I think I can do it!!

Finally, I will show you the YouTube clips that I think it very artistic!!





Greatest Art!! I wish I can draw like that!!

Mid-term Exam Blog Post: Visual

For the mid-term exam blog post I wanna introduce about "Visual" more like visual perception for human. The reason why I pick this topic is because I am Psychology major and studying about visual perceptions. Many people may think we can visualize our world because we have eyes. But the primary factor that we can see is because of our brain. In other words, our brain creates our visual world. The reason I choose this photo from Flickr is because this photo really relates to visual perception that "h.koppdelaney" have. This photo, I assume, must be done editing by Photo shop or something. So, some people says that this is not actually the real world, but this is somewhat real world. Because when we see something with eyes and when we imagine something or dreaming something, we are actually using same part of the brain, which called the occipital lobe. So, the photos that made by "h.koppdelaney" is actually same as what he have seen with his eyes because imagination some visual thing and seeing with eyes are somewhat same thing as I mentioned before.

OK, now I will show you some video clips that relates to visual perception. The most famous theory that relates to visual perception is must be Gestalt theory. Here are video clips about Gestalt theories of visual illusions.


This video tells you your brain creates your vision.


Also, this ones too.

Now, I finally want to mention about how these visual perception relate to Web design and Social media. A large number of Web creators and Web designers consider about these visual perception theories. Even Steve Jobs consider about visual perception to create apple and Mac book.

If you want to know more about visual perception, then check Kuwaitiful, admin,and Flo Hahnel's blog post.

That is all about it.

Thank you for reading my blog post for mid-term.

Pop Culture & Corporation: How do Corporation apply social media as advertising? (Weekly Blog Assigment#2)

Today, the corporations use social media as advertising tool to attract customers. For example, many of the corporations have their own Facebook page, or Twitter account. Some of them also start to use Ustream as their part of advertising strategies.

Before I describe about main topic, I'll give you brief definition about Ustream. I assume that most of you guys already know about Facebook and Twitter, so I omit explain about two of those.

Ustream: a website which consists of a network of diverse channels providing a platform for life casting and live video streaming of events online.


As I mentioned, there are so many corporations use social media to attract customers.
Since we have learned about Pop Culture in the class, I will explain about how are Pop Culture and Corporations connected? And, I will explain about the corporation's advertising strategies that relates to social media. The corporations often use Twitter, Ustream, Facebook and You Tube to get customers attention.

Twitter: the Corporations tweet their update service or products information through Twitter to Internet users who follow the companies on Twitter. The advantage that companies use twitter is because they can send up to date information to the potential customers anytime they want.

For example, Hello! Project, the corporation that provide Japanese female pop artists group, has Twitter and they tweet about information of new CD that they are going to release or TV program that their artists was on, and they also tweet about magazines of their artists. This advertising strategy attracts followers to buy CD or magazines.

Twitter + Ustream =Social Stream : Effective way for Corporations to advertising new pop cultural prodcuts (CD, Movies, TV program).

1) Corporation tweet about their new products on Twitter, and they tweet that they are going to have presentation on Ustream.

2) Followers who follow that Corporation watch Ustream live.

3) Since Twitter and Ustream working together, viewers can comment for the corporation during Corporations trasmitting Ustream TV program. This is called social stream.

4) The corporations can get users perspective about new products. This means they can also marketing at the same time.

5) After the Ustream TV program is over, the corporations can put advertisements on Twitter and Ustream.

For example, Hello! Project's official Ustream channel applies social stream system. For the Ustream, they first shows the TV program of artist group and after the program ends, and they shows advertisements.

Benefit of using Ustream

The primary reason of the corporations use Ustream is because of lower cost. Since it is free to use Ustream to have television program, the corporations are able to distribute many advertisements. 

Facebook: the corporations provide their own Facebook page to gather customers. The strategy of advertisements are basically same as Twitter because Twitter and Facebook work together. But, Facebook can upload more photos that may attracts customer interest.

For example, AKB48, Japanese popular female idol group, use Facebook page to attract customers and give them up to date information about AKB48 such as about new CD or magazines, or TV programs that they are on.

You Tube: the Corporations transmit advertisements to viewers through You Tube for mainly three ways:

1) Advertisements coming up between each video clips

2) Google Ads coming up when you try to watch video clip (it is relates to the title of the

3) The corporations put advertisements as right or left side of the You Tube page. The corporations often use comment bar as their advertisement. The big difference between ordinal TV and You Tube is the advertisement cost, and flexibility of putting ads because of a large number of video clips exists. Also, popular commercial re-upload many times by different users.

Therefore, the corporation use social media as their effective way of strategy of advertising. From the view of the advertising cost, I think that demand of the corporations use of social media as advertising strategy will be increasing.
