In week 5 we had a new lecturer...Jason... Charismatic American fella' that actually reminded me of a an American mate of mine whilst I was living in Sweden..
He discussed a lot of things but this is what I think I derived from it:
-Net Art: How the net can be used
-The internet is apparently too slow, especially in Australia
-The internet = "A bunch of dumb ass computers"
-1997 was the .com boom = internet millionaires
-However 1999 was the .com crash
-Myspace was sold for like a billion dollars and was only popular for 3-4 years. Facebook took over and is currently #1. Twitter will continue to rise and then most likely fall people will get sick of it.
-The Hungarian government created a site that shows dangers/hazards in countries all over the world.
-We will be creating a "my map" in google maps in the upcoming tutorials.
-Google owns youtube, and google is publicly owned.
-On www.sketchcast.com you can draw and records it as you do.
-And finally we finished off by watching a youtube clip - United breaks guitars:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YGc4zOqozo
From this video United Airlines stock dropped and less people have travelled with them since.
Because all this information was random I thought I'd add a really cool animated short film that I saw in my screenwriting lecture today:

I love this short clip because I think it captures the beauty of sacrifice and what some might take for granted other's would literally die for.....
