Our presentation discusses the definition of Net Neutrality as well as the Pros, Cons and regulation. Although most people might be for Net Neutrality, we didn’t take any sides. While doing the presentation we decided to use different type of tools which we then combine and made as one. The tools included PowerPoint, Camtasia Studio, and Jing. After creating the PowerPoint, we installed an Add-in button to the toolbar which allows us to record the PowerPoint. The Add-Ins button allows us to record the slides while capturing our voice and then let us transfer the recording into Camstasia for editing. After recording the second part of the video which was created by Jing, we combine both video together and made it as one using Camstasia Studio. Camsatasia allowed us to edit the video and submit it directly to YouTube. Although the process was long, we had a great experience and learn different ways to make a presentation online using different programs.

The above link is a Photoshop tutorial video I made and posted on Youtube. I use a software call Camtasia Studio 7 which enables me to record my screen and voice as I demonstrate instructions on how to use various tools on Photoshop CS5. My focus of the tutorial is how to cut out an image using different tools. I also  explained when is it best to use does tools. The tools include:

1) Magic Eraser Tool
2) Magnetic Lasso Tool
3) Quick Selection Tool
4) Pen Tool

This was my first tutorial and I kind of struggle a little but I hope you like it and learn something!

The government of South Korea knows the power of a site which has more then one hundred thousand visitors a month and its potential. They probably will like to have a connection and know these users and I believe this is the reason they are trying to require citizens to use their real name. However, I wonder how they will do that? With so much users, it just seems impossible.

In my opinion, the fact that the government is watching us, listening to our calls and etc. can lead to a type of discrimination. They might judge you because of what you said or believe. For example, recently on the news it has been reported that “a secret New York Police Department were program to spy on Muslim businesses, infiltrate mosques and monitor Muslim students on college campuses.” So my question is, Is it right to spy on a person just because he is a Muslim?

In addition, organizing a group has become too easy. Like it’s been pointed out in the book, People can organize without having an organization. And they don’t need your org’s permission to organize around something related to your organization. With that being said; a company, the government and ect. has to be careful of what they say or do. Whereas it was very difficult to gather a community to protest at one point, it is relatively easy to do so in our days. This makes me think about sites such as ratemyprofessor.com and how it functions. Students post comments on whether to take a certain professor based on the reviews. The bad effect of the internet is that it can easily ruins somebodies rep.

From my perspective, the internet is beneficial when connecting with people online but there are also as many downsides to it. How can we know what information is accurate or not if most people that share information on the net are not experts or certified? Indeed, controlling information that’s been share on the net is very difficult. As a result, some information that’s been shared ends up becoming a privacy issue for others.
