Mission 2: Culture 

A lot more excitement for this mission compared to the last one maybe is cause I know whats involved and what needs to be done. Myself Lateef and Daniel have teamed since we all had interest in the YouTube topic. We sat down for about 2 hours and decided what we are going to aim for and and to split the tasks to make sure no one overlaps and does the same thing. Daniel had all the video Equipment so he was happy to take on that responsibility, I am going to do a algorithm experiment to show how YouTube pushes you content and Lateef is going to gather information about YouTube like the History its influence and its future we also want to have the main focus of the mission about YouTubers and how they operated and how they've grown since without them YouTube wouldn't be where it is today without them. so at the end of the mission that's where we'd like to be a presentations about the growth of YouTubers and the algorithms and how they use it

I found a couple of articles about the algorithm to help me understand it even more it even had a lot about the history of it too and how it changed and evolved and why i feel like ill take a lot from this article and that it will have even more references that will have more benefit

A look back on our First Mission 

After completing the mission and thinking about how the mission went overall I've realised I've learned a lot about digital audio and how it has grown in the last 50 years. I found it most interesting about how it completely took over analogue from vinyls to tapes to CD's to eventually streaming. i noticed that it took along time to get where we are now in terms of digital audio or even technology so many little steps to get to this point 

Since it was also our first mission i learned a lot about how the module operates and whats expected from you in each mission and i'm looking forward to the next mission to hopefully get a higher grade, i found out that the best thing to do when you don't know what to do is to just get something down and just keep making it better and better till you've your finished product. but there are somethings I would of changed about our presentation for instance we could of had more pictures to complement our paragraphs and some screen shots of us using audacity we missed out on a opportunity there also we would of liken to get more time on the software and get some good results. what we ad at the end the comparison between the unedited file and the edited file was good but it could of been better   

enough of the negatives but myself and Moe were a body short on the mission but we still produced a good presentation and i feel we did above average i terms of the class

Digital Audio Project 

For our first assignment for Intro to digital media myself and Moe decided to pick the Digital Audio mission one of the main reasons why is because of Moe's history using the recommended software like Audacity for ending videos for his YouTube channel after him explaining how the software works and what it capable of I was eager to start.

In our presentation we hope to go over briefly the history of audio and follow the evolution of radio into podcasts and how and why its evolved the way it did and its place in society today

After assessing the pros and cons of the mission we came up with problems we might have but we couldn't think think of any major possible problems. at the end of the presentation we hope the audience has a good understanding of the possibility of the audio software, the past of digital audio and its future   
we looked into different types of software that we can use for the mission we found audacity so we're going to have some type of demonstration of the software in use give some type of crash course or something like that 

Introduction to a future I'm not sure yet

Post about me should start with my name, so here it is 
Cian Power currently living in Finglas with my family. I went to St Kevins Ballygal and did my leaving cert in 2016. The past year and a half I've been living abroad with family in Singapore and Australia working as a floor fitter, while I was away I also visited Vietnam and Cambodia and got to see Angkor Wat and Hanoi city was such a good experience learning all about the history of the temple. While working in  Australia I got to experience the construction industry and realized it is not for me, so i decided to go back to college. I decided on digital media because of my interest in media content overall and also the experience I have with coding is very good so after a little research I applied for this course and got it
When I'm not in college I train Jui Jitsu 4 nights a week I started training a couple of months ago and I'm really enjoying it my other interests are MMA and chicken filet rolls (butter and mayo spicy chicken)

At the end of this course I'm not really sure what I want to do maybe something in film and television or maybe something in marketing and advertising I'm sure ill make up my mind eventually after completing a couple of modules

btw this is my dog

stuff that happens first post woohoo

Can you see this post just wanna make sure
