Pay Attention to Flight Mh370

The last words we heard from flight MH370 were, "all right, good night". We don't know who said them, later the plane was reported missing, on March 8, 2014. The world wants to know where this plane is. Research says that the plane could have made it to Pakistan, others argue and say it is in the bottom of the ocean. How has social media played a roll in finding this missing plane?

When I first started doing my research, my first thought was social media hasn't played a huge impact on this subject. I did some research, and I was surprised to find that in 4 days between 3 different hash tags 850,000 thousand tweets where sent out about the missing airline. The day that the plane went down 150,000 tweets where sent out. 2 days after it reached its all time high and reached 225,000 tweets in one day. People tweeted more about the missing airline than Hurricane Sandy. (more on the article)

The different context of communication that I can see are:

• Physical context
• The physical context is undecided they have know idea where the plane is. Governments are assuming/saying that it could be in the Indian ocean, or maybe it was hijacked and will be used for terrorism. 
• (cnn video say thing they don't know where the plane is)
• (denver post giving 16 possible scenarios of what could have happened with the plane)

• Psychological Context
• The unknown definitely reaches out to your audience in many different ways it can be:
• exciting- some people might have like to create conspiracy theories on such subjects. This particular blog says that the plane was abducted by aliens. These types of people find it exciting to make things up in there mind. When know one else has an answer just yet.
• depressing- Families are wanting to know where their loved ones are located. They have know idea if they will ever see their family members again. They are protesting for apologizes from Malaysia.
• scared- a terrorist attack may have occurred. Just knowing that terrorist could have been involved in this scenario. There is a possibility that the plane landed in some other country. This can cause people to become worried that they are going to get attacked by terrorist.

• Temporal Context
• The news has been talking about this for over a month, and still haven't found nothing. The news keeps making excuses on reason for not finding the plane. I believe that this keeps going on because of all the different stories that we are receiving. 
• the plane is in Pakistan
• Story explaining the plane is in the ocean

Social media over this entire subject is exploiting the fact that the governments are hiding information they are not telling us everything.

• they tell us, "There were 227 passengers, including 153 Chinese and 38 Malaysians, according to the manifest. Seven were children. Other passengers came from Iran, the US, Canada, Indonesia, Australia, India, France, New Zealand, Ukraine, Russia, Taiwan and the Netherlands. (article)
• Why don't we know the specifics about the other people on board?
• What roles did these people play in the world?

Many of these question are continually being challenged. The power of twitter, and the capability for people to say what they want when they want. Below I have listed some tweets from different viewer perspectives on what people think happened to flight MH370. It is interesting to see there perspectives on the indecent. We see people talking about praying for the missing people and the families to people talking about acts of terrorism.

There where some small movements done for flight MH370 but not enough attention was drawn to them. For example the picture below shows a group of people giving a 37 minutes of silence for the people that have been lost in flight MH370. This indecent didn't even make it to the news.

In conclusion social media has exploited the fact that, a lot of information hasn't been released to the public. The question is where is the plane? As of now no body knows. Twitter is being used more for the sol purpose of entertainment. People are currently tweeting and joking that people are just wasting money to find the plane. I believe more people would take this situation seriously if more information would be released. People have become bored about the subject because there is no new information. The government is with holding alot of information. (LINK)

I believe that the plane is being held hostage in a foreign country, and will be held used for the purpose of terrorism. I say this so causally but I truly believe that a bigger act of terrorism has occurred. The government knows about it and has yet to reveal the truth. Still to this day we haven't found the plane.

Ad Up

When I first started taking pictures, I had a hard time with simple concepts of photography and video. My target audience is for 18 year old all the way up to 26 years old. I choose this audience because I'm wanting to reach out to those chasing their passion for making videos and taking pictures.

My audience will care about this Ad; If they have a true drive and passion for video and photography. A good photographer or video maker is never satisfied with his or hers work. From the basics to the more advanced we are never satisfied, and we will always be trying to find better ways to make are images more compelling.

I was very specific with my targeting. I chose an age group that is more likely to be in college, because they are more likely to become a better photographer, and striving to make their images better. I specified degrees that are likely to need photographers or videos done in that career.

Thoughts of the future of Applications

I can't believe how much we all rely on different applications. Travel was one presentation that really stood out to me. We are constantly traveling, by foot air or in our car. So many people are designing different things to make our traveling more convenient. For example cars that drive themselves, planes that fly themselves, trains that don't have conductors. I think traveling is one of those things that if we could eliminate that time we are traveling it would open more time in our lives. I love to travel don't get me wrong, but is it the actual traveling aspect or is it the destination that you arrive at? I'm looking forward to the future with traveling because one of my bucket list in life is to see the world.

The presentation about data really stood out to me because it is currently happening in my life. The connectivity to create jobs for other people across the world. Right now I'm working on a music video and the band lives California. I have never even meet these guys but they saw my buddies work and they hired us out. In the future I see myself getting a lot of jobs without even meeting my client face to face.
