Myth Busters

we were talkin about myth busters for a second today so i thought i would post this. pretty amazing! they disintegrate a car and visit the shop and do some interviews. I also recommend this internet show and many others from revision 3. Very new media. they also have a photo shop techniques show. this site is pretty much something I would love to do for a career

Scavenger hunt.

For my example of New Media outside of IUPUI I decided to go with the only one that i have been involved with myself. for the past 2 semesters i have been working with NUVO.net producing video content for their website. Their uses of new media are very basic and most of my work consisted of uploading a video to youtube and they would embed that video as a story on their web page. Their audience for the web site is Citizens of indianapolis that enjoy reading their print magazine as well as using the web for a news source. They have also been trying a few other things in the new media field in order to stay current with what works on the web. Other than just posting news stories and videos they have blogs, podcasts, and social networking profiles that users can connect to and be involved in. My final project would benefit greatly from this type of use of new media. Hosting my productions on a website seems to be the best step in getting stuff out there for people to see.

Class response 4-13

Last weeks class was pretty laid back. The whole class time was sitting at our desks discussing many things. Most of the discussion was focused on the definition of new media and the future of it as well. This led to the government and censorship. I sometimes wish conversations would stay on the topic and not go off on politics all the time...

My Awsome Writing!!!
