Charlie Chaplin is a film director and one of the creative Auteurs. He became the most famous film star in the world before the end of World War I during the silent film era. In the era of the talkies, he used visual comedy  routines. I think he was famous because of his unique acting style and because he is one of Auteurs who controlled their own stories and were acting creatively. I think Charlie Chaplin has the will and the creativity to succeed like what the quote said “when there is a will, there is a way”.  

Guglielmo Marconi , the Italian inventor who proved the feasibility of radio communication. He sent and received his first radio signal in Italy in 1895. By 1899 he flashed the first wireless signal across the English Channel and two years later received the letter "S", telegraphed from England to Newfoundland. This was the first successful transatlantic radiotelegraph message in 1902. It is really such a great story you would listen to. The idea of wireless was not new, it was before 50 years, but Marconi succeeds because he did it in different way. I think everyone should try to do or to invent something like how Marconi did. Marconi did not despair, yet he tried several times until he succeeds. Actually, without him we won't have wireless service. See how these people play a big role in media and how they do affect us?

This video shows us the announcement of  the” Hay’s code”.As it is known the Hay’s Code spelled out what was acceptable and what was unacceptable content for motion pictures produced for a public audience in the United States. Unfortunately, movies took the code and change their content after TV became successfully the family entertainment. People have been affected negatively by movies. Some of people became more aggressive and forget their values and morals ...Etc.

Because of the negative effects, I hope we have this code again.

 “Medium is the message”

This quote explain that media is the way that allow people to translate their ideas, voices and believes to the world. I was highly touched and impressed by this Palestinian boy who remands us of the Palestinian harsh reality which they face it every day and reflects the image of their suffering. In addition, the boy used poetry to make his massage more effective, so he reaches people`s hearts when they started crying. Actually, this video shows us how media is used in a right way and how it is a powerful mean.

It is said that” time = money”

This train in China doesn’t stop at any station, so it  is moving all the time. For example, If the train stops on 30 stations between Beijing and Guangzhou, for each station  the train will waste both energy and time. Businessmen or people who have work will waste 30 minuets from their time , but by this train No time is wasted. I like this innovation.

These are more explanations  from:

For those who are boarding the train : The passengers at a station embarks onto to a connector cabin way before the train even arrives at the station. When the train arrives, it will not stop at all. It just slows down to pick up the connector cabin which will move with the train on the roof of the train.

“Why” this is the title which I gave it for the video. Why it is so difficult for some people to talk or even to express their feeling……Why???? Freedom of speech and expression is very important as we know and took in the communication class. It is one of the most fundamental rights for individuals. It is fundamental to the existence of democracy and the respect of human dignity. The man in the video could not talk as well as other people who did not do anything. This video seems funny, but it is very sad at the same time.

 Technology is considered the most thing that has been affected us during the last period .It helps save time , makes us connect with our loved ones easily and  helps us get information and  has facilitated learning with introduction of e-learning.
Technology has also affected mode of transportation which makes us travel longer distance in shorter time.

But it has also affected us negatively. It has made a lot of students lose interest in education and other social activities. Furthermore, without electricity, technology stuff will be of no importance. Moreover, technology can affect the world and its population in negative ways as well. People have been fighting each other for thousands of years, starting by throwing rocks and sticks at each other. The technology of weapons has placed human beings in the position of being able to destroy not just a few dozen people at a time but to eliminate life itself.
