Before Robert Chapman's presentation I knew nothing about what the CLT had to offer. Now I know that there are many different services and software available to create professional quality digital presentations. I will most likely be back there for some help on abig project. they definitely know how to help and will be able to help you create your desired finished product. The CLT offers scanning, has a digital soundbooth, a presentation room called 1101q, and can stream live video anywhere in the world with internet access from room 101z. I will definitely take advantage of all the interesting technology available.

The picture I will discuss is the altered photo of Leo trotsky before and after he was banned from the Communist Party. It represents the wide variety of image altering and history changing the communists did to protect their image and keep information that could be used against them away from the masses. Trotsky was taken out of the picture because he started to disagree with Stalin who did not want to lose his own power. It represents the no tolerance positions the communists had towards people who did not follow every rule they set out. Any person who disagreed with communist thought could be taken as a political prisoner which caused the whole population to live in fear.

This video shows how even today, the Russian government is not allowing its people full freedom of speech and acce to information. It is a modern example of communist practices, however nowadays the consequences for disagreeing are not quite as severe as back then.

Consequences of Social Networking
Situation B presents a growing problem among people getting out of college or high school, applying to colleges or  looking for jobs, and being denied because of things on their social network page that either or the school or firm does not want to be associated with. People have always done stupid things. However with the growing popularity of Facebook, which grew 145% in 2010 according to istrategy.com, where people can see information, pictures, and videos of anyone with an account, it becomes easy to see qualities about people that would make that person a bad candidate. It is very important for people to keep their image the way they want it. At the same time you cannot control everything that people post about you. When you see those negative posts about yourself it is up to you to get them to take it down. When entering the job market, it is your responsibility to present yourself as someone the firm would want to hire and not some party animal who engages in illegal activities. Not only could the user be denied a good job opportunity or entrance into a prestigious university, but they can also get in trouble with the law. If there is actual talk of doing or pictures of illegal activity on someone’s page, any other user who sees it can alert the authorities which could get the user in serious trouble with the law. The consequences of posting dangerous posts on social network sites can easily be avoided by not doing anything illegal in the first place. Since we all know that people do stupid things regardless, putting proof of these acts where millions of people can see them is very irresponsible. It is up to the user to control what information is put on these sites so that nothing bad can come from people seeing his account.

The presentation was very informative. I learned a lot about the copyright laws in the united states and about file sharing on the interenet. I always knew it was prevalent and was growing in popularity. What startled me was the punishment when he talked about the recent court case Harper vs Sony. In my opinion, $75,000 per song is far too big of a fine for each song illegally downloaded. These songs can be purchased for a mere dollar legally so $75,000 is a harsh. That being said, illegally downloading someone else's intellectual property disrespects their right to profit from their own work, which is a vital aspect of the American economy. There needs to be a penalty for stealing others work. I agree with the government's decision in Harper v Sony to find Harper responsible, especially given the terrible defense they tried to provide. However, in my opinion, the amount she was forced to paid was excessive.

These tutorials taught me a lot of valuable information. It helped me realize just how powerful a tool excel truly is. The amount of things it lets you do very easily is impressive. It is definitely an extremely useful tool for business since it can perform a variety of mathematical operations. It is also helpful for visual presentations with charts and graphs being simplified with excel.
