First topic on blog assignment!
Ice cream = Social Media. Very very creative. The video reminds me of a phone commercial as well, using papers to describe the video. :'D What's that again... Maxis or Celcom?
First there's only newspaper and TV. People only get information scoops (get the pun? >D) through there. Then the internet comes and butt in, giving people the opportunity to voice out and create their own media as well. Then some people's media got popular, example : xiaxue, kennysia, Kevjumba etc etc. You get the idea. Then there were so many things to read/watch, so much that the newbies (a term for people who are new to stuffs) got confused on what to watch, like - What is popular? What is interesting to them? And what is HOT? Then someone decided to put up a brilliant plan -- using ratings and comments to let viewers rate/comment so the media maker can produce better ones by listening to what viewers want!
How does it affect me + lives around me? Better media to view, of course! More entertainment! More nice blogs to read, more youtube videos to watch, more artworks to enjoy. To rate is to let people know how good the media is, to comment is to improve on it or to listen to what people had to say about your media (ice cream). It's actually more convenient, unlike newspapers and TVs who seldom listen to viewer's comments. The media in the world is improving due to this better service. It's better to listen to viewer's opinion than to go all-out on your own + no one being happy with your media.
About personal reflection, on class eh? There were slideshows, as usual. I missed 2 classes consecutively though, so I couldn't say anything.
