This video is not ridiculously funny but I find funny the way he dances. Anyway, this video is effective in that it shows freedom of speech and it relates back to what we discussed in class about the internet being a form in which we can practice this right. In this video, Alphacat, the person playing President Barack Obama, uses the internet to make a video in which he makes fun of the president and of the things he promised when he was running for the position. If this video were produced by "traditional" media such as a television channel, I think there would be a lot of criticism good and bad not to mention how much money he would be making from it. Moreover, there would be a lot of debate as to whether it is okay for him to have done this or not. Despite all however, I believe it's a good video and a perfect example of how we can use the internet in order to practice freedom of speech.
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.
