Screen shot

A screen shot of me at work, as you can tell music right now as I am typing this. Music helps me concentrate on my work, it might be distracting for someone else but I find silence more distracting than music. Composing something on the internet is much different than composing something in school or at work, mostly because of anonymity of the internet, and the upload speed.

On the internet people are faceless, words on a thread, unless if they supply a picture. The lack of face to face interaction does not scare me, because behind the blogs of anonymity you can say what you really feel with no one to bash your ideas except through another thread. The anonymity of the internet supplies free speech to all (if you know how to use it).

Upload speed in this case refers to the speed at which information is communicated. You can upload a video to YouTube and have millions of people watch it, or blog about politics, or turn in homework minuets before the deadline (hopefully not though). Information travels from one side of the world to the other in a matter of seconds, this cannot be accomplished with a phone (unless it has internet access) because some information is in the form of pictures or videos, or animations or power points.

The composing processes on the digital medium operate under 2 main conditions anonymity, and speed. The animation world is especially competitive; with whoever uploads it first gets first dips on the views. Anonymity refers to the ideal of free speech with out anyone barring your access to the world. Speed refers to the transference of digital information.
