Blog Assignment 6: Privacy

                            Blog Assignment 6: Privacy

Facebook: Has a good privacy setting they are very concern to the users privacy they have their privacy setting organized and it helps you find what you are interested on finding more things about. When you look for a specific topic they give you a brief summary and they give you more information about it and how they have it set up and if you want to change it. Facebook is probably the safest website that provides you with the best privacy setting and they care about the user and protecting them. 

BlackBoard: Blackboard is a well developed website that helps the user with its privacy and its important for them to have a good privacy setting because teachers and students and sometimes businesses. They have their privacy setting in order. The provide you with different notifications and different features this is my second choice on the safest website with the safest privacy setting.

Twitter: Has good settings on their privacy options but its not really reliable what I see in twitter is sometimes nudity and some other social medias delete it when they see that but twitter is different they allow it. They do provide you the option of protecting your tweets that pretty much it twitter doesn't have a variety of options. 

Youtube: They provide you with little privacy settings to mostly your videos they basically give you options to your video and not to you personally. The give you the option of deleting comments and also disabling them from the videos. 

Social Media's Clutch on the music Industry (Progress Report #1)

We have decided to change our project a little to focus more on a specific topic. Which is how has Social Media affected the music industry,and what ways have the music industry adapted to these social media outlets.

Group members and Roles:

Leader: Dominique Carter

Organizer: Sergio Sapon

Peacekeeper/Check up : Carolina Nuño

Editor/Reviser: Dalton Cramer


Dominique Carter:

Will be researching on the copyright laws passed over the years due to the come up of all the social media sites and apps. Trying to see if their any laws passed directly to use of music, and looking into how people reacted to the new laws being passed.


Dalton Cramer:

Will be looking into the statistics of the sales of the music due to the use of Social media sites/apps. How dramatically has it changed over the years and how much it will change. Also on how it has affected the distribution of the music being sold.


Sergio Sapon and Carolina Nuño:

Will be working together on researching on social media like Twitter, Vine, Facebook etc and how it helps and sometimes hurt the artists and their music. Finding out which one is being used the most by record labels/artist and how. Also talking about how these sites/apps have taken place of the conventional ways of advertisement of music.



The resources we will be using will primarily be Wikipedia, the UHD Catalogs, and this websitehttp://www.theguardian.com/business/musicindustry. The site post allot of current events in the music industry and how certain apps are affecting certain artist and the music. It will also help us link to other sites concerning the industry and how Social media is in affect. We are also planning on going on the websites of certain record labels to see how they are using the social media to help promote their artist. We will even  be going onto the apps and sites ourselves directly to see if we see anything relating to our project. Since we use these sites daily we are sure we will constantly find new things that we can use as current events.

                                                 The life of a Chinese Gold Farmer

        From reading the article and watching the video we get an idea of what the Chinese do for a living. They get a place to live in with several other people and they get to play video games all night and most of the shifts are 12 hours long. The fact that they live in a poor environment and some of them don't wear a shirt. We assume that the reason they don't wear a shirt its because it gets hot because of all of the computers running for so long. One of the Chinese in the video said that even if they don't make money that they are having fun playing with others. Reading the article made me realize what people from other countries do for a living and the sacrifices they make.
        What I learned from the article is the most profitable game in history is World of War Craft they make a billion a year in subscriptions. I had no idea a lot of people played online games until now and its very surprising to getting information about it. What the farmers don't like doing is getting rid of players because it takes time to get back on the same level. The farmers have about 40 people playing 20 in the day and 20 in the night.
