For my blog post today, I will be talking about the video: Mad World Remix . In the video there was a very clear message that "we" as a society are addicted to our phones. The video depicts a small boy with wide eyes that is lost and looking for attention but everywhere he goes people are preoccupied by being on their cell phones. The background music played was called Mad World which again sets the sad tone of the world we live in where phones are overtaking us.  Also, the video coloring was in black and white to portray dark times and sadness.  There were some very powerful scenes one was with a girl who was up on the side of a large building getting ready to commit suicide by jumping and everyone below her was on their cell phones, as the girl jumped, no one tried to save her instead, they filmed her dropping to the ground and then went right back to being on their cell phone. In another scene the small boy was in a subway car and there was a larger man messing with a girl...

Throughout Trump's presidency he has used different media techniques to communicate to the public more so than any other president in recent history. For example, he tweets out messages almost daily.  In this article he now uses a new technique of using memes to depict his dislike of media and people that don't support him. In in the article there is a meme in the form of a video that he played in one of his recent pro -Trump group conference at his Miami resort last week. The article shows a  video  from a scene in the 2014 movie The Kingsman, the movie clip is of Harry Hart who is one of the Kingsman agents as he goes into a church and is inflicted with rage by the villain in the movie Valentine, and kills everyone in the church. In this depiction for the meme's purpose, Agent Galahad (Harry Hart) has President Trump's head pasted on him and the people Galahad kills by shooting, assaulting, and stabbing the faces and logos pasted on them of people and corporatio...

I read  Database of Facebook user phone numbers is offline  and in this article it talks mainly about cyber security issues. Facebook is a big name when it comes to social media in peoples lives. Nobody wants to have their private information leaked and Facebook had phone numbers on a public server and had no idea about it. It makes you question on who you can trust or if social media sites can be trusted. I don't think people should just stop using or posting information on social media but be more cautious about what they post. Also this was just a phone number but, this could lead to more problems for people's cyber presence later.

Before I watched this video, I had a very basic idea on what the Supreme Court did. I knew that they review over cases from people whom think they are wrongfully convicted but, after watching this video I understand more about what the Supreme Court is and what it does. The Supreme court has dealt with some interesting cases throughout history: Marbury v. Madison in 1803  Gibbons v. Ogden in 1824 Dred Scott v. Sandford in 1857 Schenck v. United States in 1919 Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 Gideon v. Wainwright 1963 etc They also have dealt with cases in present day:  Allen v. Cooper Banister v. Davis County of Maui v. Hawaii Wildlife Fund Department of Homeland Security v. Regents of the University of California etc The Supreme Court is the highest court in the federal judiciary of the United States that helps those who feel wronged in some way another chance to be heard beyond the District and Appeals court.

A filter bubble what is it, A filter bubble is a term for the internet's search algorithm to cause bias in our search results. I heard about this through a Ted Talk a couple of years ago and I found this very interesting. Basically, a filter bubble takes information about you based on your search history and what articles you have read and/or looked at so, when you search for something you see articles relating to things you believe in. This video is about Eli Pariser as he describes what a filter bubble is and how it can lead to problems now and in the future. It's a problem for all of us, especially when it comes to communication. How can someone have a discussion or debate about anything that they looked up when they are getting different information based on past (probably also skewed) researched topics that best supports their own biases. A filter bubble in some people’s eyes can be a good thing because it helps us find the information that we want to see that helps ...
