Week 6 Response of Realife

"How are you?"

"Did you have a good reading period?"

"Did you do something special in reading period?"

"What you are going to do?"

"Do you want to have dinner with me today?"

That are recent communications between me and my friends. Simple and real.

"You are beautiful!"

"I like this style."

"The second photo is extremely well taken. The sunset color and your coat are perfectly matched. 👍 I like it." (first photo)

“I haven't seem this kind of fruit in reality! Only heard it is called jobuticaba. It is delicious?" (second photo)

"You are right."

That are recent communications between me and my friends on my phone.

See the difference of my personality between online and offline? I'm outgoing online, and I encourage others and share my positive energy to friends. In contrast, I am quiet and shy to speak my thoughts and acting polite and boring in reality. I admire the stranger who stopped me in Library yesterday, and she said "I like your outfit." I said "thanks" and left. I admire her because she made what I cannot do. I always genuinely wanted to praise people and their works, but too shy to speak out. That's my online and offline personality. Both are my real personality, my true self.

As I discovered, our personality are different online and offline. However, that doesn't mean mediated interactions and experiences are fake, while our physical ones are authentic and real. I speak out my thoughts on media more than in physical life. I agree there are people showing, overacting, or mediating their selfies. That's their right to do with their online profile, and you have to right to believe or disgust it.

Recognizing Jurgenson's opinion of the documents online and online identities and experience, I feel the reality is more complicated than he explained. The online and offline communication are different, and the different trend is different between people from different countries. I know my logic is a little convoluted. Hope I expressed clear for you to understand. I agreed what he said: "our lived reality is the result of the constant interpenetration of the online and offline." I could find more personal examples to support his comment. But, I think there are fake personalities online because people imitating each other. When raising to a large number, it will be called following the fashion. Some people lose life styles of themselves. They changed or even faked things while following others and I feel sad about that.

The Global Village‘s Backside.

The Video The Instagram did hid the ad about Blurb from me. However, this is enough to prove that instagram and blurb share the data of consumers and users on both sides. As it literally meaning, it's hidden, it's gone on my ins, but that doesn't mean the leakage of my personal privacy has stopped. I always see the advertisements when shopping or searching on other websites. This reminds me of a word: big data. Big data can push you a lot of the same or similar things according to the keywords you search and read. Some apps even share data, so that you can see conditioner ads on other websites after you buy shampoo on one website. With the global popularity of the network, the network eliminates the time and space between people all over the world. Facebook, Messenger, instagram, zoom, wechat, all kings of emails... Even if you need to contact Party A on the other side of the world, you can still communicate quickly and conveniently through the network. Because of this conv...

Project 2 New Media Intermediate

"The birth of the reader must be at the cost of the death of the Author." （P148 | IMAGE - MUSIC - TEX） I want to agree. Readers take procession while reading. That comes the phrase “there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes“. Everyone has different experiences in their situations, and the characters, emotions, and situations they can empathize with are also different. Even if similar situations are encountered, the degree and attitude may vary greatly due to personal and background reasons. Since the author is not writing for himself, he must accept this fact. In fact, a book that allows readers to interpret it differently is a good book. It can spark a lot of discussion. These discussions can lead to the regeneration and dissemination of this book in various ways. I don't have to worry about this issue when I think of my final project. I don't really want to show it to others, the content is very personal. For me, what I see in meaningful photos i...

IMAGE & INTENTION: A MESSAGE WITHOUT A CODE

I selected this photo when I was organizing my photos. It doesn't have textual message. SO, it is doubtless necessary to go back to partially illiterate societies, to a sort of pictographic state of the image. Image Illustration: ➡️ Symbolic message: an old garden. (A lot of plants in pots, wild cats, and concrete ground). An old garden with mice. ➡️ Connoted message: The garden was highly possibile built in the 1950s, and it is located in an area most likely in southern China. The manager of the garden was most likely elderly. The largest plant, it is called sago palm whose academic name is Cycas Revoluta . It is wildly planted in southern China, or in southern Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia. Sago palm's HISTORY BACKGROUND : During China's economic difficulties (1958-1962), when there was a famine in many places, farmers in the area where the sorrel originated dug up the roots of the tree to remove the toxic ingredients and then made starch fo...
