Hyperlink

For the face-to-face reference encounter, I visited the Geneseo Public Library also known as the George B. Dedrick Library. I asked for information about the theft of the Mona Lisa. I was hoping to find a book or possible access to a database with articles that may have ran in the newspapers at that time. The librarian did not conduct a reference interview. I was informed that there was no information available at that particular library, I was then encouraged to ask my home library to…

I have added the links in as hyperlinks, if they do not work then the full URL is in the references. Listening This is defined as: “to give attention with the ear; attend closely for the purpose of hearing; give ear.” (Dictionary, 2016) The key part of listening is part of transferring information. It is the latter part – even if someone says a piece of information clearly, if the receiving party is not listening then the message may not get across. I believe that listening not only includes the…

1. What is the internet? The internet is the world’s largest computer network that is comprised of millions of computers that communicate together with a set of protocols, for the purpose of transmitting information via cables, telephone lines and satellites. (Mowery & Simcoe, 2001). The Internet’s running system is underpinned by the protocols of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet protocol (IP). Information can be transmitted through several routers to ensure reliability and…

At first glance, it seems deceptively incongruous to assume any explicit degree of corresponding resemblance between the three given forms of narrative media, but upon closer examination, a number of similarities and understated analogies emerge, despite the stark contrast in the overall tone, setting and characters. By comparing these works on the basis of their shared deployment of identifiable narrative techniques, disregarding criticisms based on character development, plot and authorial…

Predicting trends in technology is notoriously difficult; often, the expected technological innovations never materialize (such as flying cars), while others take radically different forms (such as the smartphone). In looking at the current trends, and where technology will be five years out, two in particular stand out as being especially interesting. First, in the last several years, many technology companies have entered the wearable technology space. Such technology includes everything from…

The translation between mediums for artistic and literary works is a difficult transition to make. The formats have different properties and limitations. The transition from a live medium to a medium with permanence is especially difficult in that the work loses the interaction between work and audience. In the YouTube adaptation of David Henry Hwang’s play Yellow Face, the use of the site’s annotations feature changes the theater experience with a different kind of interactivity, uniqueness,…

Hypertext Transfer Protocol, developed in the 1990s, by Tim Berners-Lee. HTTP is the basis of web communication where linked text ‘connects’ to huge networks of linked pages, allowing the user to click them to explore an seemingly endless array of other hyperlinks, (Landow, G, 1992, p. 3 - 4). The introduction of browsers and Hypertext Markup Language, allows users to view linked pages and design pages with a vast array of linkable content, such as graphics and audio/visual. Public awareness of…

INTRODUCTION All the Women in our life are lowercase ‘G’ Goddesses.Once you start to recognise the human embodiment and expression of divine feminine energy, you will acknowledge and value that, despite being brutally trampled and violently denied political and economic power. The divine feminity flows through all females by default .Divine Feminine is also linked to water, which is the element of the emotional world. Women are known to be very well connected to their emotions, which is great…

The responsibilities that I was tasked with at the Glendale Chamber of Commerce involved using Constant Contact, Databases, Facebook, Snap Pages, and press releases. Constance Contact is a program that enables users to edit flyers and is also used to distribute emails to Glendale Chamber of Commerce members. I often used Constant Contact to edit flyers such as At-A-Glance that contained Glendale Chamber member information, which was considered a tool that could market their products.…

Brief Two is to promote an artist in a band in a positive light that has not yet been signed to a record label. The artist has been managing their own promotion strategies mainly through social networking, compromising of websites such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram. The artist will need to belong to a definitive genre; I have chosen R&B. I have chosen this genre in contrast to other genres as R&B has similar characteristics of Hip-Hop yet introduces soul, depth and edge. My artist…
