video for presentation

My presentation is on Pregnancy in Second Life. At first this concept seems very foreign to us and any preconceived notions we have regarding pregnancy. I delve deeper into the issue as in my last project with Second Life I found a strong parallel between real life and virtual reality. There is a real demand and interest in this feature and it was in fact added to the program because people wanted it. I learned a lot from women that I interviewed on SL regarding the process for them, but mostly the reasons they feel so strongly about the issue. Their insights and stories really provided me with a new perspective on the issue. If anything is accomplished through this presentation, I hope that it teaches us to remain open to possibilities in the ever-evolving communications world and not close any doors until we fully understand the idea.

Social Media Project Revision

I found my project to be hard to read due to the distracting wall of text. I broke down the overwhelming blocks into more of a paragraph structure. I also added in more insight as to how I came to my conclusions. I concluded that what people value on Second Life is what they value in real life. I added an example of this application to my life. I hope that made it clearer as to how I came to the conclusion that I did.

Image Strategy for my TED talk

I am planning on delving further into Second Life. I was really interested in relationships and how real people perceive them to be. I also want to look into the issue of pregnancy on the virtual reality site as well. I plan on using images/ screenshots to go along with my talk and kind of keep me on track as I talk. I might incorporate some short video clips as well. I think it should be a really interesting topic.
