Which of the five ways in which our media use is changing (choice, creation, curation, conversation, or collaboration,) do you think is most important? Why?
In my mind I feel like creation would be the most important because it seems to be what most people look for with whatever new site, blog, item, etc comes out. It also would be the main concern above the other choices in the question. Once the item has been created people look at the basics and choose whether to make that item publicly known. People in general look at originality and what has yet to be created. With Twitter people get to introduce their pictures, keep up with famous stars, and encouraged us to place our statuses to wherever we are nearly 24/7. It was a new measure of social media that the public looks up to and it was originality. I would say that along with creation it needs to have originality and that would be the main theme to catch the public's eye.

Chapter 7 Question 6 Pg. 234
Should someone who runs a pornographic website containing images of him or her self be fired by an employer because it could give the employer a bad image, even if the person never states where he or she works on the website? Why or why not?
People should be aware of the accountability that come with having a job like owning a porn site. Having the porn site and trying to have a regular job would conflict with one another and the person should be fired for having a porn business. One reason that the employee should be fired because, as stated earlier, it brings liability to the company of the regular job they work. People fail to realize that information on the internet is NOT secure as you think. There are people in the world that could get those pictures and send them to other sites, forums etc. and that action could come back to the employees job where the employer and other higher parties could see.Second this is what I am having a hard time understanding is why would anyone post pictures of themselves with that porn title attached to their name? That action alone would hurt the employee's chance of receiving other employment elsewhere. Third, and this also ties back to liability, would be the fact that other companies could see this particular person on this site and they could use this to hurt the employee's company and possibly do some type of damage to the company's image. Overall if I was the employer I would not want someone who is associated with the porn industry working for my firm. Businesses must be professional and in order to function in the world today must not have any liabilities that could wreck the company.

Ch 6 Question 4
Discuss ways in which you would like to see search engines improved?
Search engines are a good tool to use for the most part there really are not a lot of modifications that could be made to fix them. Although there is that annoying function of typing a certain location, or musician, or a book etc. and getting irrelevant results. In my opinion companies could start off by creating a function that you could select that narrows down results. Say for example you want to look for an electronic book pdf on bing and you get hundreds of thousands of results most of which do not even relate to your search. Google could make a function if you receive after you type your search and you click the function and this would narrow down the results to from a thousand to about a hundred. Another type of improvement that could be improved could be if they not always have those annoying suggestions when you type in two letters. It is not really that much of a big deal I just find it quite annoying. Other than that I really cannot find too many other problems with search engines.
