Buffolo Bill

Give at least 3 examples (with details) where the lines between reality (history) and entertainment (media) became blurred during the life of William Cody (AKA Buffalo Bill)?

Watching the video on his career it was abit confusing to see the line between his life and reality.He seem to be the type of man who got so cough up into his Carree that he didn't even realize when he was working and when his social life was.It got to the point that his whole life became work and he drowned himself right in to the ocean sort to speak.I guess that when William had realized the bluer between his life and his line of work.

What reasons do we have to call Buffalo Bill the “original world celebrity”? Explain. ?

William Cody was the first to do these kind of chose.I think its safe to say that he is one of a kind. So why not give him a name that can make him live through out history.After all he did make history in his own way. William had the ability that made him different and to stand out.Giving the name Buffalo bill makes all sense in every way that you look at it.

How could Buffalo Bill have benefited from new media? Who would have been some of his Face book friends?

Alot of new media has accrued in this society today. So because of the type of work he does all these new technologies sources have become beneficial to him. It benefits him for information on new thing, on new ideas he can come up with ,what it the main way to attract people today.From my understanding i cant be to0 sure on his face book friends so I'm going to have to go with the guess as to people who do the same line of work as him . People that can help him take his Carree to the next level if he has not already done so.

BP Oil

Discuss and review the two BP Oil ads. Why does BP Oil choose the images/style it does to use in their ads? What is the target audience(s)? Which images stick in your mind and why?

After viewing both adds on the Bp oil, I think the one that stuck on to me the most is the one made with the cartoon babies. It was a very catchy add. It was happy and i believe so that the target audience was teens to young adults.Their add is suppose to stand for
"saving the environment" .Their logo is a flower which represents the living things.Both add were convincing but people are more likely to remember the one that had cough their eyes.What was interesting is that they used cartoon babies to show the BP add. What in understate from the message was that their trying to make the new Young generation go green.In our society today its easy to start following trends. In other words if the young people start to go Green soon everyone will.



In light of the current disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, is BP’s slogan (Beyond Petroleum) and Logo (the flower) appropriate?

Speaking from my thought i do not believe that their slogan and logo is inappropriate. I guess everything came with in bad timing. However i do think maybe because of the type of situation that the gulf of Mexico had it was kind of contradicting. Because the situations happen was that pollution was accruing, sickness were happening and things were not in the "happiest moments" Unlike the slogan was catchy and the logo was a happy logo ,but to each his own.



Consider responsibility; considering that it was BP’s oil rig that burned in the Gulf of Mexico and the resulting oil spilled would have been BP’s profit, do BP and other oil companies deserve to be ridiculed, made fun of, and/or satirized?

Well i always believe that u if must be humiliated the best way is threw humor.Alt ought it was the fault of the BP who had spilled the oil , on the other side they did try their best to clean up the mess they made.Even tho i believe that humor is the best way i don't think any one should be remind about mistakes they have maid, but in other it is only normal because people need to be aware of whats happening around their planet.It is a 50/50 opinionbecause people see it as yeah they deserve all humiliation for what they have done .Others understand the meaning of mistake and would have kept it to a certain extend.

Find something new that well see in the future?

Living in the world we live today anything is possible.So much technology is being created that its hard to keep up.Anything can be created .If i really had to think of something that will be created it would be something that fly.Its hard to think right on the spot what can be created for the future but in this generation nothing would be to surprising.

What is the immediate use for the marker's product?

I believe in a way they are trying to show us were this product can be taken in the future.How it can be use to benefit others.Maybe they want to take it to a educational level or maybe to make the people find their interest? many things can be possible. To each is own.other people might think that they want people to get use to how the future will be .We can really find the immediate message of the marker , because we do not know how they want it to effect us.I believe being a Creator for video games such as these ones you have a mind that no one is able to understand.Only through the messages they intended for us.So its hard to say the marker wants this & that for the future. You really have to go beyond the thinking level.


What impact will this products have on us , the user and/ or the world?

Well after viewing the video i feel like they want to introduce us to the future by video games.
As you see in the video its a nice sunny day outside but the family staying in? should that be the way to live? What ever happened to taking walks& playing ball outside, going to your room to chose your outfits? one answer...technology.Thinking about it the impact that it will have is people will lose that touch of being normal.For example back then we didn't have the Internet to access all information , the library was our source of info. Now a days people just open a screen & everything is given to you with a click of a button.Slowly the impact is growing with out us even realizing it .
