File Sharing: Bad or Good?

The million dollar question - Is file sharing right or is it wrong?

       Well, in my opinion, I think file sharing is is one of the best things in the world. I know that it is bad though because of the fact that people these days would rather 'download' songs & movies off of the internet, and that would make movie and music industries lose money. But what can you do? I mean I've downloaded a 'few' songs of the internet too, but people are still complaining about how this is a real threat to society. 

WELL, THEY ARE WRONG.

       This helps us create songs out of other songs which brings out our creative side. Let's say you decide to replicate one of Di Vinci's artwork  by painting it yourself and adding your own style to it, doesn't mean your stealing from someone, your using the Past to create the Future, your making a mix of your flavor and his spice to create a delicious meal.

       If I were Di Vinci's shoes, I would actually be proud of the people who try to do that. They take my art and make it their own - their not stealing my work, their mashing it up to make something bigger, maybe even better (or maybe not).

       Although, I'd be happy that people appreciate my work by adding flavor to my art/ music, but you know, it kind of is hard to make something from scratch. If you think about it, not one thing has been made possible, without using part of someone else's idea. Give the Blu-ray© discs for example. It was created upon records to tapes to discs. 

         I feel that it is acceptable to download copyrighted material if it were only intended for personal use, but the problem is that some people might take this advantage to sent to friends who might sent to other friends etc... I mean seriously, someone had to start the file sharing of one .mp3 file. That's where we get it from right?

Ha, he's a pirate xD

CareerMashing

I had to go to a presentation downtown that had something to do about what our jobs were going to be in our lives. I learned a lot from the people who work with Microsoft Canada, that 3D Animation is really cool and that made me think. I probably want to be a 3d artist, because of the neat and cool things you can build off of scratch. Not to mention out of Lego. That probably sums it up. I want to be a designer! They say these kind of jobs are for people who can visualize anything and use creativity to create things with unlimited imagination.
          In my opinion, without 3D animation, animations wouldn't seem more 'out of the box', even though I grew up with 2D animation, such as "Rugrats" or "The Weekenders." I was told to go watch some 3D Animations on YouTube to research more about this job, and I came across this video:

It was actually really awesome how everything was put together. I hated it.

        I also praise the look on newly developed video games that use 3D animation. Games that are in 3D seem more in depth and more realistic, such as Assassin's Creed. I have most of the games and I am awaiting for the arrival of the newest game in the series to come out (I pre-ordered). Games that are first-person horror games are the best. It gives the feeling that you are actually in the game yourself, and the graphics give it that zest in the genre.
        Requirements for having a job like this is to have artistic skills such as drawings, story design, modeling and productions- as well as knowledge about digital tools and applications. I am pretty sure that I also require 80 above in both Math and Science. One of the booths told me that for requirement of an architect (Which I thought were kind of alike).
       A man who worked in game designing is Christian Allen. He has worked on many 'Ghost Recon' games and he also worked on Halo Reach. He started off as a moderator in Rainbow Six, and has moved from Bungie to WB games.

Texting > Blogging

Texting - the most frequent way of communication. In my opinion, texting is one of the best ways of communication because of the distance you DON"T have to travel. You don't need to go all the way to his/her house to chat with them when you got yourself a phone! DUH!

Texting is also a big issue too :( 

Let's say for example, a "really important" person tries to texts his/her assistant for the papers for a "really important" meeting, but the assistant's phone died right before the text was sent. There are a lot of things that interfere with the communications between people who text, such as  parental issues (e.g grounded), Interference within their location (no connection underground, out of area), or don't even feel like texting at all.

The first two are kind of exceptions because the world doesn't revolve around you (Yeah, that's right. YOU!). You can't expect them to reply back as soon as they get the text, they might have stumbled across some obstacles like those shown above, but that doesn't mean they can ignore them (the text messages), because that would be rude. It is like trying to talk to someone in a group of people when they are focused more on some other thing. "Angry Birds"*cough*

 I mean who does that? Aha, well I guess I do that too sometimes, but it's only for fun :)

If I were to make five etiquette rules for texting it would be:

1. Don't text when people are talking to you

2.Don't text while on the road - by foot or by car

3. Be cautious of where you use your phone (During class)

4.Don't constantly text

5. Don't text while doing work

Anyways, I'll chat with you people later, I gotta text some of my friends (kidding)
