Composing in Web 2.0. [101.11]

In the world of user-generated content, each one of us is capable of becoming an overnight sensation. As we observe, discuss, and analyze Web 2.0, we will start to unravel what it means to live in Web 2.0. But mostly—as this is above all a writing course—from the first day of class, we will compose an exploration of the many forms and types of media that make up our daily experiences. In doing so, we will compose a living record of the what it means to create and compose in Web 2.0.

As I went through youtube, I found this to be one of the most powerful videos I have seen in awhile. It is effective because it gives a message out to the public. It shows the effect that grown-ups have on children. The message is that whatever you're doing, whether it's drugs, alcohol, or violence, one day your actions might reflect your child's behavior as the grow up. I don't see this video as ineffective. I think the media would show this on television because it is a very strong and somewhat disturbing ad. However, it will make you think twice about what you do in front of the younger generation.

This is definitely the most powerful video on the blog. Most of the UGC put on Youtube is created to be humorous, but this video has a real message. I 100 percent agree with the message, and I feel this should be published on TV.
