Blog Post 7

 I found the presentation topic of motion pictures to be very very interesting. As a Media Production and Entrepreneurship major, I wanted to learn more about this topic and see how it affects me as a major and what facts I can take away from it. In the presentation, I learned that The Galloping Horse is recorded as the first motion picture ever, showing 16 frames per second. The first motion picture was shown to the public in 1893. Some of the pros I learned about Motion pictures was that they can teach important life lessons and can be a way to express thoughts and beliefs. And they are created for entertainment, and should not be used for political agenda. Like all things, I learned the downside of motion pictures. They can be a distraction from the real life problems, they can negatively showcase people and stereotype groups. I believe that Motion Pictures are a great way of art and can influence society and can bring so much happiness into a world so negative. To me, I use mot...

 The Eight Values of Free Expression are Marketplace in Ideas, Participation in Self-Government, Stable Change, Individual self-Fulfillment, Check on Governmental Power, Promote Tolerance, Promotion Innovation, and Protect Dissent. As I was reading these and their definitions and meanings I start to wonder if any of these have any potential meaning to me personally. I asked if any of these had any meaning to me mentally.

I feel like these stand out the most to me because of how I can self relate to these topics and what they are about.

I see the Self-Government being in...

Blog Post 6- EOTO(1)

 For my EOTO assignment, I did the Video Recorder, in the research that ensued the process of discovering information, I learned quite a few things about the recorder. I learned that it has been around since the 1900's. It is said, when information was further unfolded to me, that the video recorder was invented by a man named Charles Ginsburg during his work at the Apex Corporation. Charles Ginsburg wanted to find a way to take still images and turn them into videos to capture the moment before he first began his initial blueprints for a camera. The company is now known as "Sony", maker of video cameras and some of the best video equipment to date. In 1956, Sony sold the first video tape recorder, aka VTR, for nearly $50,000. If you adjust for inflation for the year 2020, it makes the price worth $457,000. That is a lot of money. Throughout the years, Sony became more and more famous for their dedication to enhancing technology and further development and reputation when...
