Literacy and Technology

I believe literacy and technology effect each, though sometimes technology is a kind of literacy and literacy is a kind of technology. Computer, a good example to show what I mean. People use computer to calculate hard math problem at first, fellow the time people notice that computer can do a lot of things than doing some math. At this point, technology affects the literacy. When people make the internet, more and more people like to put their stuffs on the internet. That pushes the literacy change, and that is why we have blog and the facebook.

Hardly to say that which is changed more by another one. They are make each other better, like the book say, the only thing changed is people themselves.

As an auidence

We can get a lot of information by being an audience. We can get information by different ways, like TV; video; even the class. This project is to let us make a short video to show other classmates an even that you went through. It sounds easy, but actually, it is hard. As a video maker, like all other film makers or directors, we need to know what you audiences really want. Because you are not only making a video for yourself, you make a video for all the class.

From all other advertising, we can see one common thing – the goods that the company wants to sell are all around us. That means, no matter what video you want to make, you need to make your audiences focus on your video. I still have no good idea about how to do that, but I will try to make something to catch the focus of all the audience.
