The Alligator of Credits

          Everyday we deal with people that likes to take some things for granted. They want you to help them when they need something, and then don't care after you have helped them. I know exactly how it feels when you are the victim of those people. They don't give you acknowledgement of what you've done for a thing to be successfully done, all they do is to get a bighead saying that they've done that. I know it's a slap on our faces but that's the reality.

         The best example of it is an alligator, it's not a crocodile, alligators are a little bit smaller than those bigmouths. They open their mouths and ask for a dental aid from birds to eat the food particles that are stuck between their teeth after a big meal. Birds go and eat those food bits, and you know what the alligators do? They eat the birds after they clean their mouths. Some birds are lucky because they have a fast reaction getting away fast, but there are some that are left and got eaten. Sometimes the alligators just kills them.

         Well there are some people that are like that in this world that we live in. People tend to abuse the help that they can get, benefits that they can get, and everything that they can get.

          The worst case are the plagiarist. They claim others' work theirs. That is what I hate about them. Even though they paraphrase a document or reedit a picture or video, they are not the one who owned it, yet they claim it as it is theirs.That's why I call them Alligators of credit because they didn't credit the one who really did it. They are just sick. I can criticize those that does it, and I'll never run out of words for those bastards that do it. Why don't they just get lost.

          But the sad thing is, there are people that are going to be like that. Even if you go to an agenda against them, there is nothing that you can do. You're just wasting your breath and spit about it. They are like fungi, they just sprung up and they are everywhere.

          What you can do is to make a difference, don't be an alligator. Don't things be taken for granted, instead be grateful and take the time to give credits on those who helped you, even the resources that you used for your project to be accomplished. After all, you can't do everything by your own.

          That's all what I can say about those people that don't care about other's effort.

The World Of Multimedia (What is Multimedia?)

          Have you ever wondered how photograph capture the memories that we treasure forever? Or have you ever wondered about how entertainment films the events? How about wondering how the webpages being made or the games that we play on our consoles games or on our computer? If you want to find out, let me show you the world of multimedia.

          Multimedia? What is multimedia, why is it called the multimedia?

          Multimedia is media and content that uses a combination of different content forms. This contrasts with media that use only rudimentary computer displays such as text-only or traditional forms of printed or hand-produced material. It includes a combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, or interactivity content forms.

          Multimedia is usually recorded and played, displayed, or accessed by information content processing devices, such as computerized and electronic devices, but can also be part of a live performance. Its devices are electronic media devices used to store and experience multimedia content. It is distinguished from mixed media in fine art; by including audio, for example, it has a broader scope. The term "rich media" is synonymous for interactive multimedia. Hypermedia can be considered one particular multimedia application.

          It may sound like they are difficult to use but it is not. Unless you are one of them that hates "techie" stuff. But really, multimedia is easy to use.

         In case you didn't notice, we are using multimedia in our daily lives. If you are using a cellphone that has camera, that is a form of multimedia. You are using DVDs or CDs to watch your favorite films, that is multimedia as well. You play games in your console, that is a form of multimedia too.

         In our college, we use a projector during classes with the Microsoft Powerpoint Software. It is really convenient because it really saves a lot of space and it is really readable. To be honest to you, I love it.

        

          Digital arts, graphics and many more are a part of multimedia as well. This picture is currently my desktop wallpaper on my netbook. This is called a form of multimedia too. Now I didn't make this wallpaper, I give the credits to who uploads it. Thank you, you made a good job making this fan art. The characters in this image is Totoro, Satsuki, and Mei from the film My Neighbor Totoro by Hayao Miyazaki.

          To sum it up, the world of multimedia is very fascinating. You can really be a part of this world. Or maybe you are already a part of this world. Again, welcome to the world of Multimedia.

Responsible Netizenship

        The word Responsible (/riˈspänsəbəl/) means being the primary cause of something and so able to be blamed or credited for it, or having an obligation to do something as a part of a job or role. It is also synonymous to the meaning of liable, accountable, answerable and reliable.

         The word Netizen or a Cybercitizen is a person that is actively involved in online communities.

         If we combine the two words, we would come up with the word of Responsible Netizenship which means a liable person that is actively involved in online communities.

  

         Sounds good to the ears. But if I were to ask every netizen, are you responsible? The majority would say yes, yeah, I guess, I think so, etc. But what are the criteria for you to be counted as a "Responsible Netizenship"?

           The cyber community today had spread so fast that most of the populations here in this planet are actively involved in online communities. The new media is being spread liberally to everyone that wants it so that's why I'm not shocked at all. As I speak right now, many people are making their facebook accounts or other related items, many are creating online game accounts, and many are using the Internet right now. Want to see a proof? As I make this blog, there are 46 people online in facebook, by the way, they are my facebook friends, and my cousin has 103 online friends, she is using her phone, and my brother, has 73 online friends, if we add the said numbers we would have 222 online people in facebook right now. What about the other people at home, if we open their facebook accounts, how many are online? I guess that by 222 it will be 300+. I hope that you get the picture in your head, that as you read this article, many people are online too. Why because, this new media is attracting everybody. Why? because its convenient, it has unlimited source of information from educated stuff to totally nonesense, the internet could provide you that. The internet can teach you too how to do stuff how? by going to youtube and search how to do stuff that you want to do and poof, its there.

          The internet or the new media is a very convenient stuff, not only you can consume information, you can share your insights too. You want to post a picture so everybody can see it, you can do that too. You are looking for an employee, you can advertise. You want to sell something, you can advertise too. And if you just want to share something, maybe some words of inspiration, a song, a poem or anything related, you can do it too in the internet

.  

           You've got limitless things that you can do on the internet. 

           You want to know the glitch? Someone abuses it too.

           According to internetworldstats.com, there are 937,407,180 users are there in facebook. That means that there are a lot out there that tend to abuse the use of facebook or the internet itself. When I say abuse, they tend to post questionable stuff out there in facebook. Profanity is legal in facebook, that means you can use cuss words in there. In case you didn't know, profanity is a kind of abuse too. Posting of explicit pictures in facebook is legal as well. Just like this picture for example, people finds it hilarious when they see stuff like this. I call this a kind of abuse. Why? You can tell right? I don't need to go through the details why this photo is not a kind of abuse.

People who likes pictures like this are called perverts, why because they like looking at things like this in facebook, or in a broader point, the internet. There are so many kinds of abuse out there but I use this example because this is the one of the most popular out there. Its so funny  but I therefore conclude that there are many perverts in the internet community. 
         There is a recent abuse done by a netizen to Chito Miranda and Neri Naig by exploiting their sex video to the net. The couple were humiliated because of the incident that was done. That video should only be for their private use but somehow was exploited.

         As a netizen, we should be responsible on what we show to the public. We are not only hurting ourselves when we post questionable things on it, we also hurt others as well.
