Week 2 Tasks

Mashup Draft 2


Communication is one of the world's most well known transcended sources of power recognizable throughout the world. This omnipresent image of socialising and staying in touch with the world through social media has continued to penetrate its influence around the world; expanding its world dominance over time with over a century of history behind it. Although social technology has aided the progress of our current world we must be aware that  with technological creation comes a controlling and influential power that should concern all of us; a source of power as undisputed as it is frightening should one push its limits of control. These corporate sources of power are accountable to no one operating with apparent immunity from the law and with their power continually growing the only real alternative left is to either beat a retreat into a self-imposed disconnected world or total surrender to the power of its influence. The hyperbolic pace at which technology moves is no match for reason and therefore as the price we pay the rest of the moral world has limited powers and resources to pursue force to fight for the rest of us that have surrendered.In the future socialising must be a powerful leader in its field of communication. Its global reach which has established a presence inthe world we know promises to be a future in the highly competitive world which believes “'We're going to get killed here unless we get bigger”. Through the power of communication businesses have continued to growwithin this world of hit or miss existence therefore extending their reach. By utilising the power of communication as a way to gain more leverage socialising businesses have appeared destined to remain a major force in an area that holds great promise for the future.

This mashup is an improvement on my first draft as it is more condensed and appears as one piece of literature. I still need to cut down my mashup and need to work on more what im now trying to get across as a whole about how pushing boundaries of power too far results in a loss of control and moral judgement. The direction of my mashup has evolved as my design idea has progressed.

  1. For my two cents worth it sounds like your mash up is leading you down the path of 'History is written by the victor'. In other words to be able to communicate to masses is to have power because power is a PERCEPTION. Thus model 2 and model 6 come to the forefront as the perception they communicate evokes power.
    good luck
