solutions

i still think Keen is to far out there to be realistic. his idea about getting rid of all the amateurism is highly improbable. there are to many people and to many things to change. it would be to hard, and for everyone to become more professional would take alot of time. it would also take away a lot of personalized aspects of the internet. i think things are going ok the way the are, we are on a good path. also i don't feel that citizendium would work either because who is going to police who is an expert and who is not, what makes one expert worth more than another. i think he is just to crazy for me to read and believe.

kevin kelly

he talks about a lot of stuff. i think he is to out there for my liking but he says a lot of important things. he shows that a great deal has happened in only 5000 days. to me that seems like such a short period of time for all this to be happening. i like how he said all of our devises are just windows into this big computer. i wonder what it will be like in another 5000 when the web evolves more. i don't think though that the computer will ever pass the power of human mind. i think that is for now unrealistic. he is a very smart man but i don't feel that's possible at this point. i still cant believe the changes we have seen since the web first started. he made me think back and really reflect on the changes that i have seen.

web 3.0

i think web 3.0 is going to be something that will change the internet and interaction between people all new. we have made such advancements so far that i don't see why we cant grow our technology to be even bigger and better. like it had stated in the reading its becoming harder to advertise to people, people now don't have to watch the commercials on TV due to Tivo and other recording devises. i think things will become more interactive on the web and will resemble things from movies. everyone wants stuff to be like the movies so the companies want to make things like in the movies. i cant wait to see what the full web 3.0 will be like and further.

MY ILLISTRATOR PROPOSAL

I’m not 100% sure of what or how to show my project with wikipedia through an image. I think that I want my make an image that has wikipedia in the center and images of change and improvement on the side to show the work they have done for the site to make it better and more reliable. I am going to use Photoshop to blend the images and clean it up while using illustrator to change and maneuver the images. I envision the completed product will show that wikipedia is moving forward and becoming more legit.

MY WIKIPEDIA ADDITIONS



I added the section for “American Cuisine” to the Cutlet page and I said “In American cuisine a cutlet is most famously made using chicken. The cutlet is usually ran through a flour, egg and bread crumbs. They are then fried in a pan with some oil. They are used in several different meals”. I’m sure why there wasn’t a section for this page yet. Maybe it was just forgotten.

I also added to the section for “starter food” to the Ants-On-A-Log page. I wrote “This is a great starter foods for kids to learn making. It will get them working hands on in the kitchen and let them start building some independence in the kitchen. They will learn a simple and nutritious snack for them to make on their own”. most people don’t realize that it is a starter food for kids in the kitchen, it is even taught in schools. This was one of the first foods I learned to make on my own.

I also wrote in the McChicken page where I wrote about the McGangbang a sandwich that was invented by the consumers, “But in most areas it is not common for the person taking the order to recognize it by name so the customer just purchases the McDouble and the McChicken separately and puts the sandwich together themselves. Or most people don’t want to ask for it by name so they just order separate as well”. I have tried to order this sandwich by name at a few places and have gotten weird looks, it is better to just order and make it yourself I have experienced and heard from others who have tried it. It can be a very embarrassing thing to do when the person taking your order doesn’t know what your talking about.
