    DEADLINE.com FROM THE BLACK WE HEAR-- MARK (V.O.) Did you know there are more people with genius IQ’s living in China than there are people of any kind living in the United States? ERICA (V.O.) That can’t possibly be true. MARK (V.O.) It is. ERICA (V.O.) What would account for that? MARK (V.O.) Well, first, an awful lot of people live in China. But here’s my question: FADE IN: INT. CAMPUS BAR - NIGHT MARK ZUCKERBERG is a sweet looking 19 year old whose lack of any physically intimidating attributes masks a very complicated and dangerous anger. He has trouble making eye contact and sometimes it’s hard to tell if he’s talking to you or to himself. ERICA, also 19, is Mark’s date. She has a girl-next-door face that makes her easy to fall for. At this point in the conversation she already knows that she’d rather not be there and her politeness is about to be tested. The scene is stark and simple. MARK How do you distinguish yourself in a population of people who all got 1600 on theirDEADLINE.com SAT’s? ERICA I didn’t know they take SAT’s in China. MARK They don’t. I wasn’t talking about China anymore, I was talking about me. ERICA You got 1600? MARK Yes. I could sing in an a Capella group, but I can’t sing. 2. ERICA Does that mean you actually got nothing wrong? MARK I can row crew or invent a 25 dollar PC.

  • La Protección De La Intimidad Y Vida Privada En Internet La Integridad
    XIX Edición del Premio Protección de Datos Personales de Investigación de la Agencia Española de Protección de Datos PREMIO 2015 Las redes sociales se han convertido en una herramienta de comu- nicación y contacto habitual para millones de personas en todo el La protección de la intimidad mundo. De hecho, se calcula que más de un 75% de las personas Amaya Noain Sánchez que se conectan habitualmente a Internet cuentan con al menos un y vida privada en internet: la perfil en una red social. La autora plantea en el texto si las empre- sas propietarias de estos servicios ofrecen una información sufi- integridad contextual y los flujos de ciente a los usuarios sobre qué datos recogen, para qué los van a información en las redes sociales utilizar y si van a ser cedidos a terceros. En una reflexión posterior, propone como posibles soluciones el hecho de que estas empresas (2004-2014) pudieran implantar directrices técnicas compartidas y una adapta- ción normativa, fundamentalmente con la privacidad desde el di- seño, la privacidad por defecto y el consentimiento informado. Así, Amaya Noain Sánchez el resultado sería un sistema de información por capas, en el que el usuario fuera conociendo gradualmente las condiciones del trata- miento de su información personal. Este libro explica el funcionamiento de una red social, comenzan- do por la creación del perfil de usuario en el que se suministran datos, y analiza cómo la estructura del negocio está basada en la monetización de los datos personales, con sistemas como el targe- ting (catalogando al usuario según sus intereses, características y predilecciones) y el tracking down (cruzando información dentro y fuera de la red).

  • Case Study Master
    ! 1 Fundamentals of Screenwriting: Assessment Two Analyse EITHER a film OR a screenplay of your choice, referring in detail to one or more of the models and/ or theories of narrative structure that you have encountered on this module. --------------------------- The Social Network in an adapted screenplay based on the book ‘The Accidental Billionaires’ By Ben Mezrich. The screenplay was written by Aaron Sorkin and tells the story of the social networking site, Facebook, and its founder Mark Zuckerberg, from the inception of the idea to Zuckerberg’s establishment as one of the youngest billionaires in recent history. It also details the other people said to be involved in Facebook’s creation including Eduardo Saverin, Zuckerberg’s best friend, and the Winklevoss twins, who claim that Zuckerberg stole the idea of Facebook from them. The Social Network is both an adaptation of book ‘The Accidental Billionaires’, by Ben Mezich, and a historical adaptation. Whilst Mezrich claims to have tried to accurately re-tell the events of the creation of Facebook, himself saying “I have tried to keep the chronology as close to exact as possible” (Mezrich, 2009), Sorkin appears to have written the screenplay for The Social Network under no such restriction, adhering more to the logic mentioned in unused dialogue of Lawrence of Arabia, “History isn’t made up of truth anyhow, so why worry”. (Chopra-Gant, 2008). This essay will analyse the screenplay of the Social Network, first through the lens of a number of classical film theories, before discussing the tendency of Sorkin’s screenplay to bend rules, particularly those of the modern screenwriting gurus.

  • About-Asana.Pdf
    About Asana Asana is a leading work management platform that helps teams orchestrate their work, from daily tasks to strategic initiatives. Asana ​adds structure to unstructured work, creating clarity, transparency and accountability to everyone within an organization—individuals, team leads and executives—so they understand exactly who is doing what, by when. Our co-founders started Asana because they experienced firsthand the growing problem of work about work, or internal coordination. Instead of spending time on work that generated results, they were spending time in status meetings and long email threads trying to figure out who was doing what. They recognized this pain was universal to teams that need to coordinate their work effectively to achieve their objectives. As a result of that frustration, they were inspired to create Asana to solve this problem for the world’s teams.

  • ONLINE COMMUNITIES, ECHO CHAMBERS and the ANTI-VACCINE MOVEMENT | David R Poiner/ Curtin University
    Social Media, Communities and Networks Conference paper Online communities, echo chamber and the anti-vaccine movement David Poiner Curtin university [email protected] Keywords Social media, Facebook, Instagram, Pintrest, Twitter, Anti-Vaccine, Anti-Vax, Echo Chambers, Confirmation bias, Elective exposure theory, Bias assimilation, Targeted advertising, Online freedom, World Health Organisation, WHO Abstract In the first few months of 2019 a large amount of attention has been drawn to the roles that social media giants like Facebook, Instagram, Pintrest and Youtube are playing in the spread of misinformation. This attention has primarily been focused around the spread of anti-vaccine propaganda as a global resurgence of diseases have been observed by the World Health Organisation. These giants have created this problem through the use of targeted advertising, bolstering confirmation bias, aiding the creation of echo chambers and using their platforms to hijack the neural chemistry of its users. This paper will endeavour to show the real-world negative consequences that come hand-in-hand with giving people freedom of association online. Introduction The technology boom of the 21st century has brought with it the overconsumption of social media platforms, like Facebook, that lead to the creation of online communities. These communities allow communication and instantaneous information sharing. Albeit, factual or not. Platforms like Facebook give users the freedom to connect with likeminded peers and facilitate the forging of strong relationships. Often with complete strangers and based entirely on personal interests, hobbies, ideologies and beliefs. There are, however, potential consequences that come with this freedom. Facebook allows users to create closed communities’ and groups which have the potential ONLINE COMMUNITIES, ECHO CHAMBERS AND THE ANTI-VACCINE MOVEMENT | David R Poiner/ Curtin University to aid in the creation of online echo chambers.

Blogs sprang up across cyberspace as women virulently objected to the misogyny of the film supposedly capturing “the character of a generation.” Articles and reviews titled, “Is the Facebook Movie Sexist?”, “The Social Network: Where Women Never Have Ideas,” “The Homosocial Network,” and “The Social Network’s ‘Angry Nerd Misogyny,’” proliferated from popular social commentary sites such as Slate.com, Jezebel.com, Salon.com, and IFC.com.
