Khan Academy

This image, Kahn with Bill Gates is a deep significant.
We eventually reached to the role of social media through the long journey.
Their main idea starts from the same root. Even if  their contribution to our society has a  huge difference, their destination is almost in a same circle.That is why Bill Gates supports Kahn.
I believe that their contact point is ' helping people for the better world '.
There are many people who are thirsty to learn more in many reason,(because of  money, better courrier, inevitable personal situation or health problem) in the world. These days, the finance is becoming a definit  poweful  key to decide a value of indivisual life even country.
Also the education is the same important key to understand people and the society .We cannot explain these issues with the money.Lastly, the science education is very important to progress our world in many ways , to prepare a disaster of nature, and to develope medications for cure and prevent.
Through the media studies, we realized that the social media has the most effective way to communicate with the people who are even in the opposite side of the earth.
 So Kahn uses this strengh of media (/quick ,wide,and democratic) for the people of the world. He
started this task just for his personal reason, now he is helping  people of the whole world.The power of the social media is that much strong. We have experienced that the media can change the individual life, also it can save the people of entire country like through " Arab Spring".
I really admire these two people and hope that we have more people like them for a good purpose.
I also belive that the media can wake the north korean people sooner or later. I am praying.
Thank you Mr. Chesser to give me a chance of experiencing media world !!

Media walk

Restaurant & Gallery

Gregorian store & cafe

I  walked around Oakville downtown. It was very comfortable to look and see the store and their cozy, luxurious decorations made me feel holiday season. I got in the Gallery, the saleswomen were busy to pack the paintings. I was happy to enjoy the artistic works even in a short time.  They

had many beautiful paintings and cute size art work.

Luxurious spa, well decorated cafe,even real estate offices showed thier own colour and design.

Their banner and the letters of the store were making an atmosphere of the street nice and special. Especially the Gregorian store where I love the air and sound of  had a lot of brand new CDs.

I really needed a big patience to not to buy them.I wanted to listen to the new one like 'Il Volo'

but unfortunately I had to hurry for the class. If I had time, I would have walked  the street till the end of downtown. They had beautiful decorations in the show-window for the christmas . Oh, we really are at the corner of the year! Usually I prefer to walk street which has always something new, watch people who are fashionable ,look at the things which they sell  rather than surfing on the internet.
But I felt something that I was missing today on my way to school.
First, I wanted to get in the restaurant which made me have a curiosity about their menu.Their grand exterior made me diffident  to get in there to see inside. Maybe the internet could have helped me. Secondly, I only had to pick up  one or two cds. It was because of time and clerk's eye. ( I did not have any plan to buy them today.) If I surf on the internet?  That becomes for sure different story.Maybe I could have tried to listen all the cds. Even gallery was the same situation. If I go on-line, I really would have enjoyed all the art works. Hmmm....  both ways are not so perfect.
But,it was a good experience to promenade by myself.

INFAMOUS

  As we know, this film is about the story of Truman Capote.
He is known as an American author,many of whose short stories, novels, plays and nonfiction.  He earned the most fame with in Cold Blood(1966).
This film is based on the new book in "Cold Blood". In this film, we could see his tremendous effort and huge passion of his journalistic work.He spent four years on and off in that part of Western Kansas there during the research for that book and the film.
Fascinated by the news of family slain, Capote traveled with Harper Lee and visited the scene of the massacre.During his research, everyone knew him nad involved in the investigation in that small town.The interview is the most important to him so that he committed conversations to memory and immediately wrote quotes as soon as an interview ended.
Throughout the film, I felt his passion of his work as a journalist. He approached to the people even to the killers with a true heart. He did not have any barrier to reach to the truth.

 He treated the murder as like a friend  generously.  He fell in love with the murder, and he got a painfull wound in his heart eventually.
This film describes that Capote is a great american journalist as a passionate and honest human being.
I could see his friendship and taste, his passion, and his serious love as s successful author in 1950-1960s.

Honey Lomon Tea

 I really love this blog.
I can feel how she devoted herself to make this calm and peaceful blog. It is so colourful because she uses diverse ingredients for the food. Also I cannot count how many kinds of food are. She sets up the food in the beautiful proper plate and bowl,
not too much, not too less. It is easy to search a recipe by the ingredients, by the kind of food, or alphabetically.She explains easily and gives a lot of useful tips to prevent from the silly mistake.
She offers the huge helpful information about an health and  diet, a nutrition and an easy and quick
cooking style. She introduces many ethnic foods to experience as well. As for me, I am always looking for something new and different. To me who have been cook over 20 years,  the usual food is
 boring very often.
This blog is fantastic.It is easy to understand, easy to find, easy to cook.
Also, the blog design and background colour is calm and peaceful so that the viewer can feel comfortable.I would strongly like to recommend to experience this blog especially in this holiday season. Because making and sharing foods for someone who I love or not is the best healing medication for all of us.
I am so happy to know this blog.
Mr. Chesser, I really appreceate it.

Gary Vaynerchuk & Psy

Gary Vaynerchuk uses social media to help grow his business. Vaynerchuk, 33, is the director of operations at the company, christenend as the Wine Library in 1997 when he rebranded it and began online sales. It's been an amazing ride since that day in February 2006, with great guests, amazing  wine, as well as a lot or Jets Talk. Despite the nonbelievers, Vaynerchuk knew a marketing juggernaut when he saw one. An early Twitter adopter, he now has 53,000 followers hanging on his every 140-character thought. Eventually facebook buys instagram for $1 billion.

He signed on in early 2007, less than a year after Twitter was launced. But as the recession takes its toll on fine living and other luxuries, more high-end food and beverage businesses are quickly following suit. They are using the website to infiltrate niche marckets, promote special deals and build loyal customer bases.
Thanks to his efforts on Twitter and his hugely popular video blog, he is the No.1 independant wine salesman in the country, beating his competitors by a 40 percent margin.
He is a smart guy who read a treand of the way of advertisement for his business. He caught the most effective way to show his business extensively.If he did not use the social network, he only can be a successful wine business man in his community.
He says that the empowerment of the common consumer has created a fundamental shift in how business are expected to behave in his book " the Thank You Ecomomy".
Now we can see the power of media. Like or not, we are in the sea of  worldwide information.
So we need to have a responsibility of filtering to get good things and development the distiction skills of useful and helpful things for the healthy world.




                              




Psy used to be a controversial singer in Korea.
He usually sings with his own opinion about a love, a trend and social issues. The  lyrics of his songs
are honest but twisted, straight but ironical, and intellectual but shallow.Sometines  it is unconfortable
to listen to his songs.He never use 4 - letter words, but he uses very funny adjecticves and adverbs so that the audience can feel the catharsis.
Now he became an another kind of Gary Vaynerchuk in Korean version even if he had several serious troubles in his early 20's.
The Korean people were surprised at an unexpected international breakthrough.His YouTube vedio has almost a billion viewers and he now is recognized by the media as the "King of You Tube".
It is impossible if the social network system does not exist.
He sang and danced with Madonna, Britney Spears, and Tom Cruise.
He is going to perform at NFL halftime show in Rogers Centre on Dec.16.2012 and the concert of "Christmas in Washington" on Dec.21,2012 in front of the President couple of  USA.
It is really great achievement of his life .
From this fantastic phemonenon, I imagine that anyone who is talented can be a second Psy with their
own webcam . The on-line media is a wonderful democratic platform. People with diverse views can participate to the diverse communities of the world. I believe that the media will change and develope the world with a effective way. Because everyone can watch and criticize every single issue. I still expect that we have more surprising stars in variety areas on our earth. Sharing and communicating are the most important components for making the better world, aren't they?

                   

Quincy, M.E.

Quincy M.E.

 

 

Quincy M.E. is an American television series from Oct.3,1976 to Sep.5,1983 on NBC.

It stars Jack Klugman in the title role, a Los Angeles county medical examiner.

I remember I loved to watch the series in Korea. At that time, it was not easy to watch the foreign tv series, so it was a quite precious experience to me.Also I had a little shock from it.Because they gave

me many social issues which were unfamiliar, sometimes unavailable to understand the concepts.

Anyway it was so interesting.I still remember I could not wait for watching it every week.I loved their conflict between Quincy and his assistant, Sam. After it started, later season's episodes began to introduce themes of social responsibility such as drunk driving laws, problems caused by punk rock, orphan drugs and anorexia among others. Even if the theme is pretty depressed, I got the constant main stream from the series.The good things, for example, the friendship between the crews, the sense of humour, the love, the passion of their work and their social responsibility for the justice, all these components were mixed well to make us enjoy the show.While many detective series had depicted rudimentary physical analysis such as fingerprints and bullet comparisons, Quincy M.E. was the first to regularly present the in-depth forensic investigation which would be the hallmark of later detective shows such as CSI and NCIS. Also this show was one of the earlier dramatic series to use a format like this to further a social agenda.

They say that while we watch the TV , our brain becomes slow and muddy.But if it is not very often or long hours, the TV show gives us a chance to be relaxed and to get some feelings like love, friendship, justice, responsibility through the other people's experience.
