The Web is Dead Article-Discussion

I believe the article is true. Slowly, these technologies such as the iphone, ipad, etc. are taking over the Web world. In my eyes, I think that the web is still there for us to use, but these technologies just make it easier for us to access our favorite parts of the web whenever we want, instead of having to be at a computer. Never the less, we are still always going to need the web, i think there is only so many things these "apps" can do and once on a computer, we can connect to everything. What i would like to know, is how far are these technologies going to go before they start taking over our lives? What I mean is, we already rely in them a lot, and the more they come out with, the more we are attached to them, so i would just like to know when they or when someone will jump out and stop them for making these technologies that empty our wallet and give us tunnel vision on how the rest of the world runs. Eventually we all will be using them and we will communicate through these and only these, making ourselves lazy to the point that we cant even pick up a phone to call someone or travel to their house to talk, eventually our world and everyone in it will be brain washed to "apps".

Remix Video!

I chose to do my remix video on road hockey, NHL, and video games videos which formed sequences of hockey shootouts. I attempted to fit the clips so that they flowed correctly with each other. I used 4 videos from Youtube.

I hope that you guys enjoyed, my art will get better once I receive more feedback. I am trying to get more art out of stuff other then the technical way of using the programs.

Intro to myself!

My name is Josh Watson, I have been involved with many different types of clubs throughout my life, but once I found communications, I have never looked back. Before high school, I have always been a fan of big animated movies and special effects because of the way the artist can make something not real come to life. Once high school came, I was doing my own projects, which were not very good, and then I found a communications class. This class reminds me a lot of this course because we got to the chance to show our artistic ability, and be able to create master pieces of art, from scratch, or from a mixture of other artifacts. I am taking this class to further my knowledge of the electronic art and learn skills that will sometime in the near future help me be one of those artists that make a kid feel the exact same way I did.

Thank you for reading,

1st Mini Assignment

I chose the background of NHL 10 video game by EA sports because I have always wanted to help create one of the games. I used the image of the woman from Avatar because I have always wanted to be able to work beside the special effects artist from that movie because they are so talented. The image of the robot from Transformers is the same, it is a dream of mine to be able to create such a real experience with digital media for others to watch. The Apple logo is being used in my composite image because ever since I got my first Apple laptop, I have been in to design of any sort. I think it was the technology that apple can give that got me into this program. And last I used the Nike Just Do It towel because it's true, if everyone just did it, we would all have success in life. I also used the words never back down because i believe that if we never give up or back down that we will always do great things.

Thank you,

Josh Watson
