Identity theft is stealing someone else's information such as name, age, gender, address and using them to commit a crime or steal money or get hired with that  person's information. This has become a major way of theft because it is safe and the risks of getting caught are small. In America identity theft is becoming so common, and the rate is almost doubling every year. This is a serious issue because it causes so much problems to the victims, the people who got their identity stolen, because when the identity stealer commits a crime with another person's identity, that person will be in trouble. Famous and rich people are easy targets for identity thieves because they have money and it is easy to get to their personal information.
How to get all these information about the victims? The answer is easy: The internet is the easiest way to get information about people, specially the social networks, for example Facebook, people enter all their personal information without even knowing who sees them and how safe they are. People can steal our information from Facebook so easily and do fraud with it.

Large corporations affect the society in numerous ways especially when it comes to the different means by which they approach their clients in marketing their products or services. Corporations have a big role in pop culture, they have the power to advertise anything they want and make it popular with various ways of advertisements.

Advertising is present in almost all forms of communication; the Internet, the telephone, the print media, billboards, the postal system, television, radio. People can even advertise by talking face to face with others. On the Internet, businesses, companies and corporations have their own Web pages advertising their products, their ways of doing business, their employees, or their services. There are ads placed all over various Web pages.. On the telephone, telemarketing brings advertising down to one person trying to persuade the other into buying a product or a service by word of mouth. In the printing media advertisements are so common that when we look through a magazine we're surrounded by it. It contributes to the loss of distinct cultures and the formation of a mainstream one, a culture of pop music and Gap clothing. The print media is probably the most widespread form of advertising; books, newspapers, magazines, flyers, catalogues. Many big corporations with good advertising attract consumers who are often willing to pay big money for a brand-name.

All these advertisements are done by major corporations, therefore, they are the main reason for the thrive of pop culture. Big corporations sponsor the brand or whatever that is trying to sell or become popular and use all the means shown above and make it become big and famous.

What would we be without these corporations? Our world would become a boring place without competitions between companies and therefore it would be a world without creativity. These competitions make the artists or brand makers be more competitive and therefore try to be more creative to produce something that the others haven’t produce or created yet to make better money. And thus the pop culture gets created.   

Here is a company that won a Clio Award for the McDonalds advertisement, it is called Leo Burnett and it is one of the leading advertisement corporations in the world.



Douglas Engelbart and Mouse Prototype

Here is an interesting website with some interesting videos about  Douglas Engelbart and the group of 17 researchers working with him in the Augmentation Research Center at Stanford Research Institute. The public presentation was  attended by about 1,000 computer professionals.


The article As We May Think made me think about how human beings have always been trying to explore, experiment, and always be creative in a way to make our lives easier and more convenient. They always tried to make the future better for the coming generations and they have succeeded and hopefully our generation will continue to be creative and make a change in our world.

After I red the article As We May Think which was written by Vannevar Bush in 1945 I realized how Bush had predicted many technologies that were invented later on after he thought of them such as personal computers, Internet, and the hyp...
