NMIX 2020: Midterm

-pictures, music, documents • → not just numbers and words but pictures, sounds, moving video, can all be stored in binary numbers o now we have capability through electrical patterns of information to send everything

-analog • Analog o Copy resembles the original form • Vinyl Recording • Printed photograph • Binary o The structure is totally separate o All binary looks the same o No matter what is getting copied

-picture element • pixel = picture element • 1 pixel=1 byte

186,000 miles/sec • Transmission o (Works in a different way now that we are in digital age, working with binary information) o Atoms all travel physical speed • Fast as a person can travel o Bits speed of electricity – now that we are digital • Speed of light  186,000 miles a second  700 million miles an hour • Now knowledge can travel at a different rate/pace than humans

-they allow more data to be stored in a small space ^This is only one correct answer. Below I have listed other possible answers Storage: • You can store huge amounts easily with no drain on physical resources Manipulation • Atoms change at surface • Bits we change a deeper level o Much harder to detect Search • Easier • Makes information more accessible • More useful

-700 million • Speed of light o 186,000 miles a second o 700 million miles an hour

-American Standard Code for Information Interchange • ASCII o American Standard Code for Information Interchange o Gives every letter a number (including punctuation)

. The correct answer is 44,100/second CD sound • How do I convert sound and put it onto a digital form? • Lots of bits o Snapshots of volume o Uses 2 bytes for volume = 2^16 o Sound pressure 0 = 65536 o Convert sound pressures to certain electrical charge and then convert to binary • Sampling (snapshots) o CD = 44,100/second

• Kilobyte = KB = 1000 bytes o Thousand

-3x more Gray Scale: • 1 byte = 256 shades of gray Color • 1 byte for each color (out of Red, Green, and Blue) • color pictures have 3 times as much data to store than a gray scale picture

B. Radio Act of 1912 • The Radio Act of 1912 is a US Federal Law that required all seafaring vessels to maintain 24-hour radio watch and keep in contact with nearby ships and coastal radio stations. • Part of the momentum for the act's passage was the sinking of the Titanic • The act set a precedent for international and federal legislation of wireless communications. It was followed by the Radio Act of 1927 which created the Federal Radio Commission (FRC)

C. Grow your people • Grow Your People (cultivating an identity and instilling a mindset) falls under the category of Motivate the Elephant • Rider- the Rational side of you, the analyzing mechanism, the part that looks into the future (its opposite is the Elephant which is the Emotional often instinctive part of you) • SO, to direct your rider, you must: o Find the Bright Spots: Investigate what is working and clone it. o Script the critical moves: Come up with specific behaviors to change (Ex: To be healthier, ALWAYS buy 1% milk) o Point to the destination: Allow people to know what their GOAL is and WHY it’s worth it. (and ending point plus an incentive)

B. Moving image toys • The praxinoscope was an animation device, the successor to the zoetrope • It was invented in France in 1877 by Charles-Emile Reynaud • Like the zoetrope, it used a strip of pictures placed around the inner surface of a spinning cylinder • This allowed him to show hand-drawn animated cartoons to larger audiences, but it was soon eclipsed in popularity by the photographic film projector of the Lumiere Brothers • Moving image toys: drawn animation in motion (think flip book)

C. LonelyGirl15 • YouTube: Broadcast Yourself • Viral Fictional Video Blog • People: o Mesh Flinders- screenwriter o Miles Beckett- wanted in the entertainment business o Gregg Godfried- Entertainment lawyer, thought of series o Jennifer Rose- Actress • Good story line: drama, teenage angst, romance • 2 or 3, 2 minute episodes a week • Now has her own site, pretty profitable • Gave way to a new outlet of film-making

B. The Bed Intruder Song • YouTube: Broadcast Yourself • Viral Video: VERY quick spreading, all over internet • Consumer created content • "Bed Intruder Song" is a song by Antoine Dodson and The Gregory Brothers, featuring Kelly Dodson. • The song by the Auto-Tune the News creators features processed vocals of Antoine Dodson, who was talking to a news reporter about the attempted rape of his sister Kelly. • The song peaked at number 89 in the Billboard Hot 100, the only song that week to enter the chart on iTunes downloads only. • The original music video for "Bed Intruder Song" went viral. Between July 30 and August 30, 2010, it was viewed over 15 million times. • The song is based on a recording from a WAFF-48 news report about an attempted rape in Huntsville, Alabama.

C. WiFi • A Wi-Fi enables devices such as a personal computer, video game console, smartphone or digital audio player can connect to the Internet when within range of a wireless network connected to the Internet. • Cellular sales, radio licenses, and radio broadcasting have all been government regulated (or still currently is) • BUT, WiFi is relatively new, so the government is still figuring out a way to make this accessible • Now, some major cities have WiFi as well as campuses and most businesses • (According to the Article) Thee FCC is using the deployment of television-band white spaces for the new expanded WiFi • This month, the F.C.C. is likely to approve what could be an even bigger expansion of the unlicensed airwaves, opening the door to supercharged Wi-Fi networks that will do away with the need to find a wireless hot spot • The stronger, faster networks will extend broadband signals to bypassed rural areas and allow for smart electric grids, remote health monitoring and, for consumers, wireless Internet without those annoying dead zones. • Julius Genachowski - the chairman of the F.C.C. • The new airwaves are particularly attractive because television signals are low-frequency waves, meaning they can travel farther, go more easily through walls, trees and other obstructions, and provide more reliable connections • by making the airwaves available free, the F.C.C. is bypassing the possibility of using them to generate revenue, either through auctions or user fees.

B. Ping • Social network for music • Allows you to see what your friends are listening to, talking about, and downloading • Allows you to follow artists and get discounts • Helps you find new music based on your preferences • Free! On iTunes 10 • Steven P. Jobs, Apple’s chief executive • Facebook blocked Apple because Ping had the potential to send too much traffic Facebook’s way and cause “site stability” and “infrastructure” problems

C. Google Instant • new search enhancement that shows results as you type • The most obvious change is that you get to the right content much faster than before because you don’t have to finish typing your full search term, or even press “search.” • Benefits o Faster Searches: By predicting your search and showing results before you finish typing, Google Instant can save 2-5 seconds per search. o Smarter Predictions: Even when you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for, predictions help guide your search. The top prediction is shown in grey text directly in the search box, so you can stop typing as soon as you see what you need. o Instant Results: Start typing and results appear right before your eyes. Until now, you had to type a full search term, hit return, and hope for the right results. Now results appear instantly as you type, helping you see where you’re headed, every step of the way.

C. Mapping Roadkill

b.192,308 • Gigabyte- billion; 1,000,000,000 • You probably don’t need to remember this number because Shamp said he was going to change the content of all of the crazy number specific questions • multiple of the unit byte for digital information storage. • The prefix giga means 109 in the International System of Units (SI), therefore 1 gigabyte is1000000000 bytes. The unit symbol for the gigabyte is GB or Gbyte • The byte is a unit of digital information in computing and telecommunications. It is an ordered collection of bits, in which each bit denotes the binary value of 1 or 0

D. Email 9/11 • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lKZqqSI9-s o This is basically just live news feed of the 9/11 attack. o It showed several clips of the plane being flown into the tower. • One concern Shamp had in covering this topic is that it might have been too soon. • Everyone can probably remember where they were at and what they were doing when the 9/11 attack occurred. • Images from this incident are considered visceral images Alternative Communication • On flight 93 Todd Beamer used a cell phone to contact his wife. o She heard him say “let’s roll” when the attacked the terroritsts o The flight crashed in Shanksville, PA • In New York all landline phones were down • Cell phones were almost completely busy leaving email to be the only remaining way to communicate

The Hidenburg Blimp Hindenburg • Famous Zepplin explosion/crash • The Zepplin was a luxurious form of travel allowing a passenger to travel from Germany to America in 2 days (I believe). • The originally used helium to fill the zeppelin. However, due to political differences US and the Nazis, the United States, the main source of helium, priced the helium too high for the German’s taste so they began using hydrogen, which unfortunately proved to be extremely flammable. • On May 6, 1937 in Lakehurst, NJ the Hindenburg was making what was supposed to be a very routine landing when something went wrong and it exploded. o The landing was covered live via radio o 36 people died o 61 survived o Herbert Morrison, the radio broadcaster covering the landing, was the first to give us a first-hand taste of the horrific incident through raw emotion.

B. Someone from a hotel across the street recorded the policemen violently beating King. Rodney King • On March 3, 1991 Rodney King, was beaten severely by police officers • He was tasered twice, hit 56 times with a nightstick with 24 police officers taking part in the incident o There were already cases of police brutality in the LA police force • A stranger in a hotel from across the street witnessed the incident and videotaped it. • 3 officers were accused. However, on April 29th the Simi Valley Jury, composed of 10 whites, acquitted the officers o Riots broke out nationwide leaving large amounts of property damage and dozens killed • Sousveillance, meaning to watch from below, describes a recording of an incident or scene from a participant or first-hand viewer of the incident or scene.

C. Marconi, 72 Titanic • On April 14, 1912 the Titanic, a huge supposedly sink-proof vessel that could cross the Atlantic in record time, set out on the Maiden Voyage o 1517 people lost o There was no media there but media did play a part… David Sarnoff • Worked for Marconi Company • Manufactured wireless • Ship communication only use for radio • He stayed at the key for 72 straight hours relaying the message of the Titanic o Marconi promoted him • RCA o Wrote the first memo/first proposal of broadcasting called “The Music Box Memo.” The confusion • With regards to the Titanic confusion reigned • Radio signals would say “all were saved” or “all were lost” • The news only arrived when the Carpathian picked up the survivors • Led to the Radio Act of 1912: o The government got involved with broadcasting o You had to have a license to operate or broadcast news o This was the last time a tragedy would be silenced

C) It led to the Radio Act of 1912 Titanic • On April 14, 1912 the Titanic, a huge supposedly sink-proof vessel that could cross the Atlantic in record time, set out on the Maiden Voyage o 1517 people lost o There was no media there but media did play a part… David Sarnoff • Worked for Marconi Company • Manufactured wireless • Ship communication only use for radio • He stayed at the key for 72 straight hours relaying the message of the Titanic o Marconi promoted him • RCA o Wrote the first memo/first proposal of broadcasting called “The Music Box Memo.” The confusion • With regards to the Titanic confusion reigned • Radio signals would say “all were saved” or “all were lost” • The news only arrived when the Carpathian picked up the survivors • Led to the Radio Act of 1912: o The government got involved with broadcasting o You had to have a license to operate or broadcast news o This was the last time a tragedy would be silenced

C) Abe Zapruder • JFK was assassinated in Dallas, Texas during a parade. Abe Zapruder, a Dallas dressmaker, was filming the parade on an 8mm videocamera. The film was only 26 seconds long and was completely silent; however, it was one of the most emotional films ever shot. It allowed people to see a second by second reenactment of JFK’s death.

C. NBC • After JFK’s assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald was assassination at the Dallas Police Department as he was being transported. He was shot by Jack Ruby. Major new stations like ABC and CBS covered the assassination; however, NBC was the only station that was able to give live footage of the event. This was the first time in history that an event has ever happened like this.

a. new media allows for everyone to witness the events almost as soon as they happen • New Media has allowed people to see, hear, and feel tragedies. It affects us in a new way, and mediates the story to us first hand allowing us to experience it for ourselves. New Media makes the event more intimate to all groups. There are no privileged people that get to experience it over others, so you can’t miss it. New Media allows for a collective consciousness. Since the event is transmitted to everyone in the same way, same medium, we all see it the same. We don’t imagine it different like we would if we only heard about it. We share the same perspectives, because we have viewed them the same way. These events are things the will never go away, and thus mean something to our generation as a culture. Media can sometimes seem like a fantasy. It seems like as if it could not be reality, but we watch it over and over until we believe it as the truth.

A. Google Maps • Google maps were called in and used after Hurricane Haiti. Google launched Google Map Maker in Haiti to help relief efforts in the wake of the hurricane. These maps and data are used to navigate the areas to see where to deliver food and supplies to the region. To also show the regions that have been hit the hardest, need medical helps, etc.

b. a visceral image • Visceral images are things you can’t look at, but things you cannot look away from. For instance, the pictures of the people jumping from the WTC towers on 911. You know what is happening to them, and how terrible it is, but you don’t want to miss it. Today they are hard to control. Media worries that things can’t be filtered like before. After the Titanic, the story could be edited. There was only word of mouth. Now, there are pictures and videos that are the property of those who take them. The videos can be shared.

A. Fundamental Attribution Error Fundamental Attribution Error means people have a systematic tendency to ignore the situational forces that shape other people’s behavior

A: C. (I, II, and III)

A. OneAthens OneAthens: community initiative working to get rid of poverty in Athens Brought together the government, university, school system, chamber of commerce, and non-profit sector looking to found out why there is generational poverty in Athens

B. Thursday Alcohol 70 bars in 10 square blocks can a bar in Athens survive if it does not serve underage drinkers? Yes! Problem with underage drinking in Athens lack of accountability How to make people care about Athens? Do we have widespread civic pride? What are a few things people don’t love? Police, heavy drinking, crowds
