Copyright and creative commons go hand in hand, except with creative commons the public has more flexibility when it comes to using someone's work, depending on the license the artist has which determines the way the public can use their work. I feel that copyright is good to have because it puts a restriction on how an artist’s work can be used. Although they artist is making music or art they are putting it out for the public to use as long as they purchase it. This is when piracy takes place and instead of gaining royalties from the artists work they receive nothing and may even lose money. I feel that, from the Ted Talk with Andrea Palmer, she was able to become so successful in the music industry because she had made her music fee to the public and had asked for their help by donating money so she can continue her music career. The public is not a big fan of being told to do something but they rather be asked for help and they will most likely comply and support. Under the creative common law being able to re-purpose the work should be allowed because the artists is putting the work out to the public they aren’t keeping it private and if they didn’t want the public to us their work for re-purposing then they can change the way that the public can get hold of their work. I feel that if more artists start making their work more readily available for the public then the freedom of expression will start to become overwhelming and too many people will start to piggyback off of the creators work and not think of their own way of expression. If I was an artists that lets the public use my work, just like Andrea Palmer, I would ask the public to help me in order for them use my work. I would also hope that the people that use my work do not use it to talk bad about me or anyone. I want to have my wok be used for good and not bad.

Online Persona #SCSUCOM135
An online persona can be whatever someone wants it to be. Anyone can put anything out on social media and the internet, but the way they want people to perceive them is up to them. They are able to put out only the good things which is what most people do because they dont people to see the bad side. A Ted talk that I recently watched was called “Your Online Life, Permanent as a Tattoo” by Juan Enriquez was fascinating because he connected life on social media to a tattoo and how things you put out on the internet will never go away. Enriquez connects big data, tattoos, immortality and the Greeks. He first mentions that tattoos “without a word really do shout” in the sense that they can mean a lot even though its a picture. He then talks about how any app of website that deals with personal information can become an electronic tattoo. People can see who you truly are through social media just like they can if they see a tattoo that is on your body. Another way that a company or people could find out what is going on in your life is by the items purchased at a store. For example the teen that was found out to be pregnant by Target before her parents did was all based on the items she purchased. “25 products that when purchased together indicate a women is likely pregnant” this was how Target was able to find out that this teen was pregnant, by tracking the new and different items she was purchasing coupons were sent to encourage her to buy the items needed to take care of a child. Not only is this creepy but it could almost be life threatening. People that are buying the wrong items may be put on a watchlist and if continued serious action may be taken place. It is almost impossible to keep your life off the internet. Even if you are not taking place in any social media friends and family are able to put you out there and you are not in charge of what they put out. Although someone may be able to influence their desicions soemtimes it may not be enough.

Viewing Online Communication #SCSUCOM135
Everyone that owns a smart phone, computer/ laptop or any device that is able to access the Internet takes part in online communication. Everyone is able to put themselves out on the internet, using one of the devices listed previously and by the use of social media, which can be defined as websites and other online means of communication that are used by large groups of people to share information and to develop social and professional contacts. Online communication can make a job or business run more efficiently because there is no wait for a response from paper mail, the only way it would take a long time is if the wifi happened to disconnect. Politicians and hobbyists and anyone that looks for support from other people put out personal and public information out on the internet for others to see and decide whether or not they choose to follow, but professionals put there information out in order to try and find a job. An article I have found talks about how social media is beginning to separate political parties. The author states that political leaders around the world are becoming more polarized. Social media is easier for people to say what they want to say, when in reality someone wouldn’t always say what they mean to someone standing in front of them. Twitter is a big area where people are able to say what they want to either someone or a group of people. Politicians, professionals and hobbyists also use this site to put out information for people to see. One of the biggest politicians being our president,Trump, has put out information which people have disagreed with and have fired back at him. Trump uses his twitter to gain attention from those who like or dislike him when his spotlight begins to drift away. Trump mentioned he would remove his twitter profile once he was president but just so happened to tweet an hour after inauguration. With him being in office his tweets are receiving more retweets and likes than before. Online communication will only increase.
