In one of the assignments given to us, we
had to go on TEDtalk, I also have another class that is showing me things from
that as well as this one. I realized on Wednesday that I may have to watch the
same conference twice in two different classes. Except, for the last one I was
just continuing on with my work while half-listening to the same speech and I
had no trouble at all with it. Should I be asked about my thoughts then I will
give them, so long as everyone understands that I already know what had to be
said. This would also give me the opportunity to be able to take
notes at any parts that were of particular interest, but I lost last
time.
Getting back on subject, I chose Christopher "moot" Poole (the founder of 4chan). What
made me decide on choosing him of all other people is that I am a great otaku
and anyone who is any otaku either knows or at least heard of 4chan before. It
was actually a 'funny' surprise seeing the founder of 4chan being one of the
speakers here so I decided to look more into it.
After seeing this, I still
couldn't tell you what 4chan is exactly. It's a site that shows different
categories of pictures that are not just limited to anime. Yet everything is
posted there, there are NO rules at all to it. You could even say that it is a
complete world of it's own.

On a side note, Blogger hates Gif Images.

This was an excellent video. The fact that a group of people are interested in questioning the unification of the internet is very important!Thanks for posting

4chan is an insane and chaotic website...especially the /b/ board. I've been there once, and only once is enough. I don't ever, EVER want to go to that part of the website again, despite the fact that it is a site for the creation of many hilarious internet memes. Still, it's amazing how far the creator has become this famous...just incredible.
