Flash actionscript exercise

Buttons/Extra web stuff:

Social Networking

Good:
- Keep in contact easily with current friends and old friends
- Network with industry professionals
- Become aware of networking events for your career
- Become aware of social events
- Show your photography or any other work
- Express thoughts to a wide range of people if you want to, or just send a private message

Bad
- It has a privacy problem where people can easily retrieve some information about you and pre-judge you, which most people naturally do to some extent.
- You can find out exactly where somebody is.
- Good looking women can easily be tracked down, and it must be hard for them dealing with all the attention from strangers.
- People can be bullied easily.
- Ultimately, you are too exposed.

Keyboard navigation

Navigating a website by pressing keyboard buttons is coming more and more popular, with the use of arrow keys to scroll up/down a website or left/right across a site. For example:

Urban sunbathe

My event is going to be a flashmob sunbath, in the central open area of the Barbican building, whatever the weather. Volunteers will be required to sunbath for at least 10 minutes. This has been done before in Copenhagen but not on the scale that I am thinking, and the event will also represent a global warming message that the world is getting warmer.

Research

Flashmob – A flashmob is when a number of peope (usually a large number) gather in one place and simultaneously act or do something out of the ordinary, for example all freeze at once or dance in a train station or supermarket.

This idea is so interesting because I don’t really like the fact that human beings seem to be programmed into this capitalist society, and behave like robots or slaves doing the same thing day in day out. I think life could be so much more fun and different. Flashmobs can put a twist on our mundane reality of the working life, such as the grumpy flat faces in train stations were interrupted by this dancing T-Mobile advertisement or many people freezing.

Apero geant – another word for flashmob.

Pop-up restaurant – Pop up restaurants are simply people advertising in the paper or on social networking sites on the internet that they are cooking at their house, you are invited to come. The advertisers will buy the food, cook it and serve it on tables perhaps set up in their living room, and you have to pay for the service. Usually, the people invited will know the people doing the restaurant service at their home.

Secret gigs – Secret gigs are basically secret gigs, where the rave or party or gig is set up in a location that’s perhaps not usually used for this purpose.

Art auction - This is where valuable works of art are sold at an auction, where bidders put in increasing bids and the highest bidder wins. These events are also known as Christies.
