Oh Youtube

While I was reading the article "Youtube Videos Pull In Real Money" on nytimes.com, my Interactive Journalism teacher asked my class to blog about what we would do if we had our own youtube channel. What I think I would do is, something kind of like the t.v. show "The Soup" on channel E!. I would pretty much report news about celebrities and make fun of them. 

And So In This Hour

I haven't blogged in a while because I've been working on my autobiography project in my Interactive Journalism class. At first, Final Cut seemed pretty hard to work with. Now, I know how to work around it and such. In my autobiography, I have pictures, and I'm the one narrating it. I also have a video of me being interviewed. In the background of it all, I have music playing. What I narrate in my autobiography, is where I was born, and a very brief information about it, my childhood, my recent life, my favorite things, and where I want to see myself in the future. I should be done with it by the end of this week.

Inside The Teenage Brain

PBS Frontline's documentary about the teenage brain says that the teenage brain, undergoes some of the same changes as the as the first 18 months of a baby because they both change very fast. When going into the teenage years, the teenage brain is almost like it's been "taken over" by a different brain. Teenagers now-a-days have different lifestyles from teenagers in past decades. Experts say that the changes in mood are part in hormones. Teenagers see sadness when there isn't sadness and anger when there isn't anger. Thus, making the teenage brain different then the adult brain. Teenagers say that adults think that they're all dumb. The teenagers argue that the adults are hypocrites. Experts say that even if parents think that their teenager has understood what they have said, they either haven't or understood it differently. As a society we're less active then ever.
