Quote the 1982 draft script and provide a full reference. (Check the trial databases) Leon looks shocked, surprised. But the needles in the computer barely move. Holden goes for the inside of his coat. But big Leon is faster. His laser burns a hole the size of a nickel through Holden's stomach. Unlike a bullet, a laser causes no impact. It goes through Holden's shoulder and comes out of his back, clean as a whistle. Like a rag doll he falls back into the seat. Big slow Leon is already walking away, but he stops, turns, and with a little smile of satisfaction fires through the back of the seat.

What does Paul Soukup say Walter Ong saw as the main paradox in 20th century communication? Cite your source That a society given so much to the use of diagrams and to the maneuvering of objects in space, should at the same time develop means of communication which specialize not is sight but in sound."

Task 2 After the 2002 launch of Friendster, several eUniverse employees with Friendster accounts saw the potential that social networking had created and decided to mimic the more popular features of the social networking website creating the phenomenom of myspace. Myspace is a free online social networking site aimed towards the younger generations that composed of personal profiles that includes and lets you share chosen personal information. MySpace profiles typically includes a digital photo and in-depth information about personal interests. The main use for Myspace was for the interaction between friends that could share photos, comment on each others profiles and share various other options between each other. Myspace became the most popular social networking site in the United States in June 2006, a position that it held throughout 2007 and until the end of 2008. In the month of December 2008 the Myspace corporation attracted 75.9 million monthly unique visitors in the U.S.(Gillette F, 2011) Rupert Murdoch's News Corp bought Myspace and its parent company, Intermix, in 2005 for $580 million. The company has recently started officially looking for a potential buyer at an asking price of $100 million, according to a person familiar with the sale process Over the past two years, Myspace has lost, on average, more than a million U.S. users a month, but why? (Watkins S, 2009) Mismanagement, a flawed merger, and countless strategic blunders have accelerated Myspace's fall from being one of the most popular websites on earth—one that promised to redefine music, politics, dating, and pop culture—to an afterthought. And of course Facebook, a seemingly better, more initiative, easier to use social networking site that has basically demolished facebook in the competition of social networks.

All company's have some sought of advertising and alliance involved with social media. And whilst they still believe that it is a viable way to promote their product. The question is what is next, with Facebook and Google simply taking over the Internet, sticking their finger into everyone business you may see social networks take over the world other competitors will enter the marketing possibly offering a more an advanced and innovative ideas and concepts that could leave today's heavy hitters in the dark, what they do with their product is the big question. |
