Grading
AS ALWAYS, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS ASSIGNMENT, BE SURE TO CONTACT ME WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE SUNDAY DEADLINE.
During this course, students will be responsible for submitting two short essays, which demonstrate critical thinking in regards to the course topics. Each essay will be worth 15% of the final grade and be approximately two to three pages in length. The essays can be written about ANY TOPIC RELATABLE TO ITEMS COVERED IN CLASS. In other words, the goal is to provide students with the opportunity to dig a little deeper on a topic of interest. (If you are unsure of your selected topic, feel free to email me for discussion or approval.)
Students may utilize in class readings for the paper, but it is expected that AT LEAST THREE ADDITIONAL OUTSIDE SOURCES will be incorporated to expand the learning process. Though the essays are intended to be less formal than the midterm paper, they should be carefully written, proofread, and must include citations in APA format for any works referenced. Those who simply use the short essays as expressions of their personal opinions will likely receive a lower grade, because unsupported opinions are unconvincing and carry less weight than knowledge claims that are based on evidence, such as research or expert knowledge.
What are the visual content preferences of Instagram users that evoke higher engagement and consumer trust for fashion brands and why?
Read the Castells chapter “Lessons from the History of the Internet” from his book The Internet Galaxy. You can download a PDF of this chapter from this week’s unit.
Our question as we read Castells is “What are the lessons?” and this assignment will guide you in responding to the reading and its “lessons.”
Make sure you carefully read it — it asks for a specific type of response. It is more complicated than most of our discussion board prompts and will take some time and thought.
What is one of the lessons that Castells describes?
This question is a little more complicated than at first it appears. It is actually a challenge in cooperation and close reading. If you are one of the first to answer, you could pre-empt other answers. The idea is not to launch a pre-emptive strike on other answers but rather to add one item to a succession of small, incremental contributions.
You should start a new thread and identify one lesson in the title. Then expand on this lesson in your post. You will need to say whether Castells explicitly says this is a lesson to be learned from the history of the Internet. (You can also, of course, find and state lessons he is not explicit about.)

Read the Bruce Sterling short story, “Maneki Neko,” from his collection A Good Old-Fashioned Future. The story in brief: the gift economy of a future Japan is made possible by (or driven by?) networked communications. People follow instructions sent to them anonymously via their hand-held devices to carry out random acts of kindness.
One idea to consider: the main character says of technology, “I really believe that computers help human beings to relate in a much more human way.” What do you normally think about this subject, and what do you think after reading the story? Who (or what?) do you think is sending the messages about helping people, and why?
