Assignment #19

I decided to write about Steve Jobs Standford Commencement Address. Steve Jobs recently died of Cancer and i thought it would be nice to reflect on his life by reliving one of his speeches he made. As he rarely talks about his personal life, it was a very profound one where he talks about his past and his battle with cancer. He said, "Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life." His influence in technology and the computer world can be seen across the world and he will surely be missed.

CIS 471: Digital manipulation in politics and culture

Assignment #18

1. Digital manipulation in politics and culture

2. http://cis471.blogspot.com/2010/06/digital-manipulation-in-politics-and.html

3. Two tags, implications and politics

4. I chose it because i do a little photo shopping myself and i know how easy it is to fool people on the internet with false images and information. Especially when its a disinformation campaign from media outlets or government entities that fool the general people into believing something they shouldn't. Places like factcheck.org is an invaluable place to make sure people stay informed.
