Grief in the Age of Facebook

Good evening,
Since we are at the end of reading assignments,I feel sorry to have such a melncholic article.

1-Do you agree to permit someone of your relatives"parents,spouse or a close friend"to access your facebook page after your death?Does thinking of this matter urge you to "delete" something in your facebook messages or chats or any other private things?

2-I am wondering why we show affection and admiration to people when they die while we forget to show them such a concern in their lives.What do you think about it?

3-Have you ever chnaged your profile picture to another dead person you really love or admire?who is he,she and how did you feel that moment?
Personally,I do it every year in the anniversary of Mahmood Darwesh ,a great Arabian poet who died in 2008.

Growing Older in theDigital Work

 

1-Have you celebrated your birthday in facebook while you forgot to do to it in the real life?

2-Some women on facebook celebrate their birthdays without indicating the year the were born in.Do you think think this is good or bad?Why?

3-Do you think that people on the internet are more flattering than they are in the real life? What is the relation between this characteristic and egotism?
 

We Shall Overshare

Good evening,

Sometimes, I find a person writes in his facebook page" I am sleeping ".And then,hundred of "I like" quickly appears. I ask myself :"What do they like?","His ability to confess such a great statu?Or they like him sleeping?".The weird when he starts to reply.You are already sleeping !

1-Do you imagine Facebook and Twitter may be someday replaced by a technology that enables others to see us as we really are?To have a monitor that records everything you do alive,you can limit it to some people if you want.

2-All of the revolutions that are nowadays called "Arab Spring" has begun from facebook and Twitter.What are the positive and negative points of using them economically and politically?

3-Do you prefer your account on Facebook and Twitter to remain when you die?Why?Why not?

Virtual Humans

Hi my classmates,

1-"So,we want things to be not quite perfect",paragraph 5. Why does EdCatmula think that creating a perfect symetrical actor can be "wrong" ?

2-To me,I think that virtual humans may look like human beings at the first glance,their bodys,fabrics,movements and hair.But what about their eyes? Can any aother creature have that deep unique look?

3-The author says that virtual humans cost less than real actors.Do you think the producer and designers of these human virtual will charge less in the future?

4-Do you prefer virtual humans to perform heroic rols or subplot roles? Why?
