Today was somewhat interesting. One of my classes had a very interesting conversation, a took a long needed nap, I got to see the awesomeness that was David Choi, and got a cool new T-shirt.
Okay, let me start off with the discussion from our Social Media class. I'm kinda blurry on the details considering that I'm horrible at remembering things and that I was really tired when I attended that class. We basically discussed about how media is affecting our culture and how the internet is allowing us to gain so much information that it may become too much for people to handle. The media has become such a big part of entertainment. What's happening is that people are starting to participate even more in the media to the point where you aren't aware who is an amateur and who is not. Fame through the internet can now be achieved because you are allowed to publicize your work online. Also, this participatory culture has led for more content to be published on the web which leads us to the problem of how are we going to find enough time to go through all of this data? How will we be able to tell what's real and what's fake?
And what is this upgrade to the internet going to do to our web browsing experience? I left class with more questions than answers, it seems.
Moving on to David Choi. David Choi is an Asian American musician and he happened to be part of AASA's (Asian American Student Association) week of events. David Choi came all the way from California to do this set so we were all excited. I really enjoyed his music. Not gonna go too much into detail. He mostly sung love songs. His work is definitely worth checking out, though. Yes. Go to youtube and type "David Choi" in the search bar. Do it right now, you can come back after you've seen a video or two..... I can wait.... Go on..... Seriously, I'm not going anywhere. Fine have it your way.
Well anyways, he was awesome and a very nice person. I really liked how he took the time to answer all of our questions. He made us take little pieces of paper and write down any question that you wanted him to answer. And you know what he did? He answered every single one of them. That's how awesome he is. Afterwards, we invited him to have dinner with us at Scotty's. I've never eaten there, but after today, I really want to go back there again sometime. It's like Chili's only next to campus :)
Sooooo.... David Choi and Wong Fu. Youtube. Go!!!!
