My Digital Footprint


The see that a small percent of people had the same answer I had was quite interesting. After answering the questions, the website has a few paragraphs written based on your answers that are somewhat giving you advice. I think that is pretty cool. I took the scenario 2 and then did asses myself, I seem to have not gotten a result. But the scenario I chose I ended up " going into web designing classes" because I couldn't apparently figure out how to create a website.
I think this website is quite interesting though. It has different things and the choices you make, change your end result. It also had asked me a question about my profile pictures on my social networking sites. I am perfectly fine with all my pictures that I have, it is something I can " show to my grandmother" as the site says. I don't, however, plan on changing my digital footprint.

Grandparent in their sixties with today's media

These days I hear and see youngsters watching movies like This Is The End and The Interview. Movies that have no actual lesson that needs to be learned or anything serious. I don't think its completely terrible for them to be watching movies like that but there is so much more that they can watch that may end up benefiting their lives somehow. Same thing goes with music, I don't agree on the music such as Ariana Grande or The Weeknd because it has no meaning or talent behind it. Its repetitive words that either make no sense or are subjected to things such as partying. I think music should have lyrics that are actually meaningful and aren't like everyone else's songs. The same types of factors go towards television that young ones are watching. Some of it is not beneficial at all, but there is stuff that actually teaches you something like documentaries or anything historic. Social media such as Facebook or Instagram are more negative on peoples futures than they are positive. This is because of what people seem to post on these websites that have other people conflicting about it in the comments. Lastly, simple things that everyone sees everyday like advertisements on billboards can effect younger ones. Some advertisements will make some people feel like they need to look a specific way in order to be accepted into anything. I am not trying to be the stereotypical grandparent who is all against everything that happens these days with teens and young adults, I am just concerned over the fact that everything seems to bring more negativity into peoples lives and such. I am all for people doing what they want and being themselves but I just have opinions on everything.

My Favorite Genre

My favorite genre of films to watch is comedy. I do love horror but I prefer comedy over anything. I enjoy comedy films because there is always the different types of comedy. There is types that are meant to be poorly acted to make it more funnier. Also types where its great acting and everything is pretty realistic and still is funny. For typical comedy movies, there is usually the "uneducated/dumb" person who is like everyone's favorite character. Then there is sometimes the "smart one" who likes to be technical with everything and get on peoples nerves. The list can go on and on with different types of characters in these films.
 Action wise in comedy can vary. For example the movie Due Date, the most "intense" action in that movie would probably be the car accident scene. Comedy doesn't usually have a lot of intense action, I've noticed anyways.The action can also take place in either a awkward/odd location or even in a suitable location.
The endings of comedy films can also vary. Sometimes they might end up with a huge plot twist at the end that may or may not have been expected to happen. They can also, typically, have a happy type of ending.
