Mobile phone surveillance technology-Negative

https://ssd.eff.org/tech/mobile

Cell phone being an essential device have owned by the most of people in postmodern social life. However, cell phone surveillance technology have been using by government, which as a negative issue has been claimed, injurious to the public interest and infringe people’s privacy information are not acceptable.

First of all, by using cell phone tracking technology, the government can easily locate where the cell phone is in real-time. Technically, cell phones communicate with signal towers. When the strength of signal is sent to those phone towers, the location of the cell phone is possibly determined by the technology known Multilateration. The US government uses people’s cell phone to track their physical location without any warrant, which seriously against people’s privacy. From same party’s reports, the US government inspected cell phone user’s location 8 million times in a given year.

Also the government can acquire any private recorded information which you undergone. Two major telecommunications preparations AT&T and Verizon have contrasts with government the government demands them hand over customer’s information. In the past few years, the US government sent more than 140,000 “national security letters” for requiring cell phone records.

Cell phone surveillance technology embodies the concept of panopticism. As the monitor surveillance technology with which we familiar is used in corporations, in the States federal government enforcedly uses cell phone tracking technology to lactate people and monitors information from corporations’ database to keep watch on everyone’s behavior without a warrant. In the postmodern society, people look forward to reach as more freedom as they can. The call phone surveillance technology against this concept is counted as a negative inventive technology. However, most people use cell phone every day for business, relationship, or entertainment. So avoiding tracking is nearly impossible. Cell phone is very widespread in postmodern life.

Final Exam - Online hotel reservation in Globe

Online hotel reservation in Globe

    

                                                                                                                         

     I think online hotel reservation is a good example to discuss globe positioning systems. It is a useful tool to help traveler books rooms from home by using online security to protect their privacy and financial information and by using several online travel agents to compare prices and facilities at different hotels. Sometimes the online hotel reservation through GDS is just the provisional reservation, means that you do not need to pay at the time of reservation, instead pay at the time of check in or check out.

     The online hotel reservation is based on Internet Booking Engine. IBE’s are installed on the home page of an airline to enable easy access for customers. When shoppers enter their travel preferences the IBE contacts the GDS or Computer Reservations System to receive the relevant information which is then shown to the user in an appropriate interface. The real value of an IBE is in the business rules and processes that package the content and provide the capability to shop and purchase. This includes packaging and pricing rules, customized displays for different customers and channels, business rules and check out and payment processes.

      Nowadays, online travel agents have pictures of hotels and rooms, information on prices and deals, and even information on local resorts. Many also allow reviews of the traveler to be recorded with the online travel agent.

     Online hotel reservations are also helpful for making last minute travel arrangements. Hotels may drop the price of a room if some rooms are still available. There are several websites that specialize in searches for deals on rooms.

     People can book directly on an individual hotel's website. An increasing number of hotels are building their own websites to allow them to market their hotels directly to consumers. Non-franchise chain hotels require a "booking engine" application to be attached to their website to permit people to book rooms in real time. One advantage of booking with the hotel directly is the use of the hotel's full cancellation policy as well as not needing a deposit in most situations.

Thin Client and the management program

Fig. 1 the structure of the thin client environment

Thin clients are managed at the server, located within the data center. Thin clients connect to servers via web browsers or remote desktop software. Depending on the functionality the user needs, client desktops can be very simple single-application kiosks or a flexible and familiar Windows environment. Because thin clients are computing devices that function as an access device on a network, these solid-state devices connect over a network to a server. In fact, keystrokes, mouse events and screen images are all that is sent between the client and server. This makes the device much more secure than a standard desktop or notebook computer.

To control all thin clients on the server, the server have to install management software. This kind of software can simplify remote troubleshooting. Remote support is greatly simplified. The devices can be shadowed (remotely displayed) with full keyboard and mouse control. In other words, the IT staff can monitor the client desktop without letting user notice that their desktops have been monitored. The purpose of this function is that company wants to take control of all devices to avoid virus attack and easy to maintain.

The management program relates to the concept of panopticism because employees know they might be monitored by the IT or their boss in anytime but they do not know when. They will be aware of their behavior while they are using thin client at work.

I was once working with thin client for two years. In my opinion, this kind of program truly increase the work efficient and employees can concentrate on their work easily. However, employees lost their privacy at the same time.

IP Cam Surveillance - Negative




http://www.bikal.co.uk/network-webcam/ip-cameras.html

Nowadays, people reinforce life safety consciousness; for this reason, safety system is becoming wisdom application in this society. The function is no longer just safety protection, but also increases surveillance application and provides entire automatic monitoring. This kind of vision of global gaze became public surveillance system.

IP Cam is one of the webcam for surveillance systems. Generally, IP Cam can connect with IP router directly; don’t need to connect a computer or set a router. IP Cam can send images or video directly by internet, therefore, monitoring can easily and conveniently use internet to browser images or video in order to track and monitor.

Many people use IP Cam to monitor children, elder or servants’ behavior at home. Others may use IP Cam to monitor employees’ behavior in work place. People who have been monitor may feel lose their right of privacy. These kinds of monitor infringe upon peoples’ privacy and freedom. For example, manager monitor employees’ working behavior in behalf of monitor employees use computer/ Internet to do something irrelevant their work, or do they divulge company commercial secrets and so on. Even if, parent wants to monitor their children or manager wants to monitor the employees; people still should not be monitor. People have the right to keep their privacy. Monitor makes people feel uncomfortable and distrust. However, undeniable, some monitoring may be a good way to improve employees’ efficiency during the business hours. Nevertheless, in my opinion; employee trusts his company and willing to work hard for his work; on the contrary, manager should trust the employee who he has hired, and be honest to his employees.

As for now, the postmodern society, people became more careful to meet a new person because there are many terrorists around the world. Thus, surveillance system has become a necessary equipment in this environment, but it does not mean all of the people do not deserve being trust. In addition, take panoticism as example; this indicates monitoring cannot monitor everything just through a surveillance system. In other words, outside the system that monitoring cannot monitor anything at all. A surveillance system should defend the villain. As a result, I believe, an honor system or honesty system is a philosophical way of running a variety of endeavors based on trust, honor and honesty. Not enough to deter serous criminals.

The Global Flow of Visual Culture

1.Cultural Imperialism:

Example: American Series

Take the American Series as an example, the media products of the America that represent some parts of America culture. It has been influencing lots of young people who have different culture background around the world. For most America series, when we are watching, we not only get entertainment, but also absorb the concept unconsciously of two sides of gender in current America culture. At the same time, most of us probably have already forgotten to concern the concept of our original culture background. This is a cultural Imperialism in our generation.

Not only the entertainments such as movies and cartoon influence other cultures but also language is the most important element. We may say it is a powerful imperialism; McDonald’s would be a good example.

Moreover, American popular culture is not also effect teenager, but also effect adult. More and more women agree with the sex concepts of the American Series “Sex and the City”. Therefore, to sum up, it’s important that American is a capitalism society and contains lots of media information.

2. Global Niche Markets

Example: eReader

Niche marketing is a process of finding small but potential profitable market segments and designing custom-made products for them. A niche market is a focused, targetable portion of a market. Any company wants to be a member in Niche market, need to face on worldwide for developing his business.

eReader is one of a niche market products; it likes Barnes & Noble Nook . If it compares with ipad or other tablets, it is easy to discover that its only has reading and browsing function. The main advantage is that it is easy to carry on. Even if the price is superiorities than tablets, how marketing this nonfunctional item and attracting customers’ sight, it would be a big issue for sellers. Definitely there are many people love it as a useful tool for reading, so that it has its own market shares in desktops.

3.Global Brands

Example: Apple computer Inc.

Recently “Apple” is famous because “Apple” has good reputation of their brand image. They design a clean and simple user interface for the appearance of the computer. It also has its own operating system, which is more stable comparing with other software cooperation. You can set more than twenty different languages on the apple products. For desktop, when you buy it from different countries, you can get different kinds of languages system where you are. That make the brand becomes globalization and leads to “Apple” become one of the global brands in the world.

Scientific Looking in Cultural Contexts

Topic 1: The Digital Body

http://www.hemmy.net/2007/09/09/amusing-natan-jewelry-advertisement/

These two Ads are from famous jewelry company Natan. They put a quirk on the before and after handing someone a piece of jewelry. The photos show that even ugly men can become good looking when women accept their rings.

This Ad uses same people’s face and changes their features for main idea indication. It shows the jewelry too important to effects woman’s imagination for a man. Some digital photo edit soft wares can help to complete this purpose as we saw.

This Ad exhibiting objective phenomenon focuses on a society fact between man and woman. It is a good issue to discuss the value of looking, especially in sexual relationship. Meanwhile it discovers the role of jewelry in women’s life, stresses the main point.

Topic 2: Visualizing Pharmaceuticals

Example: Relacore

Relacore is a weight loss aid that has been engineered around the theory that increased stress equals the increased storage of fat, specifically the harmful fat around your midsection. A pharmaceutical company creates this product and claims that the Relacore with cortisol fights and shrinks belly fat, reduce stress, reduce mild anxiety, and reduce certain types of depression while increasing energy.



Relacore doesn’t give us a comprehensive list of ingredients and with so much already against it we feel that this product should be avoided. There are plenty of products available on the current market that contain proven ingredients and that will give you the weight loss edge you are looking for. You suggest you find something else and leave Relacore to rot on shelf.


People usually watch advertisements and knowing the information from media rather than from medical personnel. Therefore, the way the pharmaceutical company promotes their product directly to the consumers. The consumers could buy the medicine without a prescription.

It is not ethical because the way the advertisement only show to the customers the effectiveness. Those aggressive loosed-weight people would be attracted easily by the exaggerate advertisements.

PO MO movie

Trainspotting movie trailer

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose a three piece suit on hire purchased in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose a future. Choose life . . . But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?

Renton, Trainspotting

The movie, Trainspotting, is a typical post modern movie. It describes the common subculture of British teens in the 90s. The teens in the movie use drugs to escape from their regular living and to avoid social rules and responsibilities. As much as it may seem abnormal to many, the teens are satisfied with the lifestyle and do not wish to change.

Subcultures are the minority cultures in the society. They are usually deemed irregular by the predominating culture as they many times disagree with the social norms. The subcultures exist because the world around them is open to interpretations. An interpretation can be as valid as any dominating cultures to some if they found it justified. This movie is showing an ostensible image of a fragile society.

Postmodernism in films

Run Lora Run

Run Lora Run is a German movie was produced in 1998. Lora, the leading character in the movie, has to collect 100 thousand Mark in 20 minutes to save her boy friend. Otherwise he is going to be killed by his boss, a drug dealer. The context of the story described in the three ways is not too difficult to understand. Different way has a different consequence. The director used postmodernism expressive method in the movie presents different perspective, the first run, she is killed by a police officer after her boy friend and she robed a supermarket; the second run, after Lora robed her father’s bank with a gun, she arrived the place on time that her boy friend and she suppose to meet but unfortunately while she meets her boyfriend, he is killed by a accident. So Lora stars her third run, this time she does not try to get any money from her father and keep running. She goes to casino, buys a 100 single mark chip and bets number 20 on a roulette table. By dramatically consecutive wins she earns 129 thousand Mark that is enough to rescue her boy’s life while her boy find the beggar who took his money in the beginning of the story, and gets his money back. Lora’s hysterically screaming, vivid color and fast-paced narrative method, as postmodernism elements arranged by director‘s purpose made this movie as a classic postmodernism works.

Po Mo in the Movies

Rachel Ju

Nov. 15. 2010

Postmodern movies prevail in most of the world in multiple style, eye-catching images and hi-technological skills. But it's not easily to describe what the characteristics of postmodern movies are, because they don't have certain forms and patterns.

“Fight Club (1999)” is an example that contains strong colorful and take “dead” as a main theme. This is a different way to describe a movie. The theme of “Fight Club” is not only express violence, but also describe the society full of pressure. The story is about an office worker who tried the bore and pressure environment. As a result, that cause he changed his personality in order to relieve pressure. But, he became violence and not able to stop.

This movie caused polarization in that time. Some people like it others don’t. However, this is one of the postmodern films to express that “you are the one to represent yourself.”

Po Mo in the Movies--A Clockwork Orange

A Clockwork Orange

This film presents a dystrophy examination of ultra-violence, social conditioning, free will, and post-industrial alienation.

A Clockwork Orange is a societal work. The first half is a romp through the youth crimes but the second half focuses on the human rights he lost once imprisoned and cured. The shift takes the audience away from direct contact with such an impulsive character. It comforts the audience because they know the film didn't donate to the ideals of its horrific leading character.

It definitely targets human nature, which destabilize the moralities of transitional line.

It no any distinction between culture and society, besides confuses over time and space. For that reason, "A Clockwork Orange" is a wonderful illustration of postmodernism film.

 Cecilia

Postmodern

Group 4:

"A master narrative is a framework that purports to explain society, if not the world, in comprehensive terms. Religion, science, Marxism, psychoanalysis, Enlightenment myths of progress, and other theories that each set out to explain all facets of life are master theories or master narratives."

Lady GAGA with her modern style

Lady gaga wore a “meat dress” on MTV video Awards in 2010. “Fears that human will be treated as meat, which has no rights in the eyes of the law” Lady gaga said. Most of her modern style is not really acceptable for some people in the common society although it may become one kinds of subculture.

In the past, most of the people will not accept this kind of modern style; however, people have changed their ethic rules because influence from media. We honestly, do appreciate her sense of creativity, but this meat dress has taken it to a whole new level. She isn’t standing up for animals rights at all. PETA, an animal rights activist group doesn’t do this kind of thing to support animal rights, they do go to the extreme but they don’t wear suits of animals to show people what animals are goingthrough or wear human skin for human rights. Humans have plenty of rights that are why we are taking animal rights away so Gaga can shove it. Just like us against people wear mink coat, because it is endanger animal.

Forrest Gump was a successful critique master narrative movie that was directed by Robert Zemeckis in 1996, starring Tom Hanks, Gray Sinise and Robin Wright Penn. The story basing on America history of late 20th century describes several different period of time in Forrest Gump’s life. In the story Gump is counted in a subnormal refused goes to primary school when he was a kid. Although, when he grows up, he is not only a hero in college football team but also is a hero in Vietnam War. As a successful feature, Gump undergoes most of America history events, meeting historical figures, involving popular culture, and attending the ping pang games. An average intelligence person gains most of desire that most people cannot reach; the whole life of Gump as a postmodern critiques conventional concept is dramatic.

Chapter 7

1. What is the commodity self and commodity culture? Find an example of the commodity self or commodity culture used in a movie, a television ad or an internet ad. Explain the commodity culture that the ad/movie targets.

Commodity self means a product can be trade bought and sold. Commodity culture argues society is in a way shaped by the resources, which in the case, commodities, that are available to us. We may think people select the merchandises, but in fact our identity is constructed in part by the limited selection of commodities around us. People start to identity

a person with the commodities one associate with. As a result, the real self of a person became irrelative defining a person.

The two flyers above are Victoria’s Secret. Their advertising sells an idea of sexy. Thus when consumers wear their products, they could convey others they are sexy.

2. Market coolness? Fine an example of an ad that uses a counterculture or anti-consumerism to sell it’s product. Explain the approach of the example.

This condom advertisement is a nice idea that use of humor in advertising campaigns. It does not only get the attention of consumers, it also makes the product or service easier to recall or remember. This advertisement shows two firemen with a naked man are put out a fire. This humor advertisement is easier to catch peoples’ attention and let people want to know what this advertisement talks about. However, it is a metaphor to letting people knows calm down and “Don't be stupid, protect yourself. Use condoms.” Using firemen make of humor to get the attention of people and reach the market coolness.

3. What is an Anti-Ad? What is Culture Jamming? Find an example and explain the strategy of the ad.

ANTI-Ad refers to the practice of making spoofs or parodies of corporate and political advertisements . It may take the form of a new image or an alteration to an existing image, often in a satirical manner.

Culture jamming is an interesting mode of political communication that has emerged in response to the commercial separation of public life. Practitioners of culture jamming argue that saturated commercial environments have bent culture, politics, and social values from corporate logos on sports facilities, to tube content designed exclusively to deliver targeted audiences to producers and sponsors.

The text says:

“Every year 6 million animals are killed from cosmetic testing. Please refuse animal-tested products.”

Daily Media

http://www5.svsu.edu/~ychen2/DailyMedia.pdf

In our group, we are using quite the same media a day. Most of us use wake up by cell phone alarm clock and use cell phone to text message or communicate with friends or family. In addition, we rely on internet during our day, such as check email, facebook, news, gain information and so on. We browse the internet quite often and search information throughout internet.

Speak of compare the media in 60 years ago. It is quite different with now. 60 years ago, there was not an internet or cell phone generation. In that generation, people used hand writing more often and printing technology. For instance, people read newspaper in order to gain knowledge or people wrote postal mail to communicate with friends or family. Some of the people were wealthy, they may have TV, so that they could gain news on TV; otherwise, people only could listen the radio to gain news.

Cyworld

In its orbit, around South Korea, Cyworld is both a giant in the ever-widening galaxy of cyberspace and a community website.

In cyworld, members cultivate relationships by forming Ilchon (means: friend) with each other through their mini-homepage. Avatars and "mini-rooms", small, decorate-able, apartment-like spaces in an isometric projection, also feature. All of this can make for a Sims-like experience.

I can read some Korean, so I have some experience to use Cyworld. Cyworld is the most popular SNS tool in Korea, many renowned Korean socialites and celebrities possess its accounts in which details of their upcoming tours and works are posted. Base on high market share, large quantity news or scandals may be published from it. The searching engine of Cyworld can hunt for pictures, videos and diaries with keywords very easily, and everyone connect to Ilchon with others conveniently, in addition there are many hackers aim at it, so that it is hard to protect users’ personal privacy. Actually, there are many disputes about Cyworld privacy protection in Korea; however, well-established solution is not discovered until today.

http://www.flickr.com/

Flickr

This is a popular site let users share and embed personal photographs; the service is widely used by bloggers to host images that they embed in blogs and social media.

Flickr asks photo submitters to organize images using tags, which enable searchers to find images related to particular topics, such as place names or subject matter. Flickr is also an early website to implement tag clouds, which provide access to images tagged with the most popular keywords.

Flickr provides both private and public image storage. A user uploading an image can set privacy controls that determine who can view the image. A photo can be flagged as either public or private.

I think Flickr is an image host store the image onto its server, and show the individual different types of code to allow others to view that image. It is good tool help owners to manage their quantity of pictures, furthermore also protect their personal privacy don’t be leaked out.
