CAP 105 Final Scheme x2

Hey Professor, the bad news is I just spent a bunch of time putting this together and it all deleted when I published so I’m unhappy and probably won’t try as hard. The good news is I’m still submitting one so thanks but also sorry.

HeavenAndEarth — I created a better version of Jurassic World at the Heaven and Earth statue between all the lake halls. It’s cool because the shadow creates something if you look at the right time, I’m thinking about trying to steal it.

BlueArch — I already stole the top off the so called “Blue Arch,” where is your arch now Lakers? It’s actually called the Transformational Link and it’s in the middle of a darn sidewalk but if you walk through it you fail. Psych I do it all the time because I can and I’m evil.

NoFace (1) — This one doesn’t have a name but it’s behind Zumberge Hall and it represents college students as a whole, searching for their identities. Oh and also Justin Bieber was there.

Clock Tower (1) — Merry Christmas from the Cook Carillon Clock Tower in the middle of campus out front of Kirkhof. It’s where everybody meets and it plays pretty music. I’m going to steal this thing.

What’s Next

Being a villain, I learned a significant amount of devious tricks from this course. Many skills that will ultimately help me to destroy my enemies (the heroes of the world). I gained massive insight on how to build up my own personal brand. Developing a positive reputation with the public is huge when you’re trying to rule over them with an iron fist. When I create my league of evildoers I want to make sure our social media pages are very well thought out. The more followers, the larger the following, the greater the empire.

I also learned a little bit about how to edit things, videos and photos. I can create posters and flyers to mail out. Perhaps each one can say “prepare for your world to end” with a picture of my smiling face. I know how to do that now and it’s thanks to this class.

Aside from being well suited for the job market and having some skills and certifications that will help me thrive as an applicant. I can now teach my grandparents about new technology more adequately. There is a constant battle between new devices and the ability to comprehend digital trends. This class makes that battle a little bit easier.

Unfortunately, I already had a lot of experience coming into this class from former courses and personal happenings. There wasn’t much room for me specifically to learn with the curriculum. Not to mention the fact that advertising is not what I want to do with my life at all, and I’m not sure why it’s my minor. Thus it was tough at some points to stay motivated for this class. Luckily, my professor was a right-minded man with as many evil intentions as myself. If it weren’t for him I probably would’ve fallen asleep/skipped just about every day.

From here forth I know not what I will do, but I hope that it is evil. Whether I conquer the world through the cybernetic networks that make up our ever so fragile international community, or simply enslave all humans and animals with artificial intelligence completely under my control, I’m confident that I am headed for total supremacy. I will overlord much more efficiently having taken this class. I feel as though I owe a thanks to everyone involved in teaching me some basics that I had missed, so thank you. Perhaps I will spare your families.

For my final evil trick I will complete this WordPress post with less than 500 words. It’s not that I didn’t have time to do it, and it’s not that there wasn’t content for me to post about. It’s simply the fact that the most evil thing I can do is withhold from meeting the assignment requirements even though we all know full well I could do it if I weren’t so… evil.

Twitter Management

These are five scheduled tweets, I couldn’t find the “list” categorization so I just took two pictures.

Hopefully you can read those.

Communication After College

Introduction

College is a wonderful time in which everybody has an email with practically the same domain name. It’s very easy to come into contact with people you don’t know or that you’d like to meet. The whole university is interconnected on the same network. When I think of collaboration after college it gets a little tougher. Within the workplace there’s not necessarily an easy way to communicate with coworkers and peers unless your company uses a specific platform to communicate. In my experience thus far outside of education, there are three main communication platforms I’ve used: Skype, Slack, and Google Hangouts.

Skype:

Skype is an application that can be used for instant messaging or voice chatting (optional video). It’s very helpful for small group messages and communicating one-on-one. Skype can get a little hectic when it comes to larger group conversations because everybody is always making noise at once. When I was in high school I was a bit of an actor and one time I used Skype for my audition. I submitted my acting experience through the messaging then entered a call with the director. We had a video chat where he watched me read lines and performed an interview. He used Skype the same way to cast the rest of the characters as well. (image from https://twitter.com/skype)

Slack:

Slack is less of an application and more of hub for people to meet and communicate on. I only really know about it because of my CAP 105 class but it has a lot of really cool uses. Slack allows you to create multiple channels on which to chat for different things. You could have one entire channel for people to post work or ideas then one completely for fun. Slack also allows you to set reminders for yourself and send yourself messages so you don’t forget important things. This is really good for a business that has a lot of employees however I’ve yet to see any video chatting come out of it.

Google Hangouts:

Google Hangouts is Google’s version of Skype basically. As we know Google likes to do things pretty big so it’s kind of a Skype for larger groups of people. I’ve seen it used for one-on-one talks but not as often as I’ve seen it used for large group communication. I’m currently involved in an acting project where the primary forms of communication are Facebook Messenger and Google Hangouts. When information is given out it’s on Messenger but when we link up to chat over the internet we do it on Google Hangouts.

Conclusion

Each of these different platforms serves their own unique purpose and honestly can all do each other’s jobs. It really just comes down to preference and where people were raised/what they were raised on. I think Slack might be one of my favorite because there’s a bot to chat with but I have the longest history with using Skype. Skype was all the rage in middle school and it was truly the only way to talk to the ladies.

Antisocial Media

Social media is perhaps one of the most complex and contradictory things that has arisen since the use of credit for money. When one joins the realm of social media they become “social” in a different way. While they may be more connected to people through networks and messages, they become discoursed from human contact. I myself have deleted certain social media platforms such as Snapchat and Twitter from my phone because I found myself on them too often. Whenever I wasn’t being explicitly entertained I would open one of those apps and look through as if there was new exciting information on it. My life became a constant overflow of useless updates for a bit. Not to say that I didn’t enjoy seeing things my friends sent me or posted, but for the most part it was strangers or celebrities posting about things that had no effect on me.

Unfortunately I couldn’t quite shake Instagram. I don’t want to lose all the memories I have on there and as long as they’re on the cloud I’m not afraid of them being deleted. That doesn’t change the fact that I use Instagram to waste time as well. I often look through the same pictures I’ve seen a million times just because it’s easier than starting a conversation with those around me. That’s something that will have to change if I get a job. I will definitely have to spend less time on Instagram looking at silly videos. I will also probably have to delete some of my old pictures that are inappropriate for a businessman.

Depending on how I’d like to establish myself my brand will matter a lot. Personal branding is the personal image or reputation that someone is associated with due to what they post online and how they portray themselves in public. My personal brand is very rudimentary right now but if I were to create a business or work in a client-based occupation I would rely a lot more on it. My social media would be completely focused toward bringing in customers as opposed to making people laugh; a change I’m absolutely dreading.
