Internet

There has been many cases in which people have gotten into dilemmas with what they post online. Theses posts are mainly on facebook, twitter, myspace, and etc. If these negative posts and comments that these individuals make are found out by a management or company that these individuals work at, they can be punished by their terms.  Most consequences results in losing one's job or even losing a relationship (as mentioned in one of my previous post, media impact)

In this video, a young successful YouTuber, Timothy, tells the story of how his tweets on Twitter got him fired from his weekly job.  His work place and company found a tweet in which Timothy was distasteful of their new uniforms. The company also went through his other older tweets and found another  negative comment that he made. Timothy was then emailed and called in to be fired. Warning: contains mild language.

I think this is a great example of how far social networking sites have exposed most of our personal opinions and life to our professional life. Although we might believe that these posts that we make on the internet is useless or we may believe that no one may read them, in the future we have to be more cautious of what we have to post. But then again, I believe we should have the right of freedom of speech and these corporations have no right to lurk into our personal life.

Movies

One of my favorite movies from 2010 is Toy Story 3

I grew up with Toy Story and it has such a sentimental feeling to it. The old characters and their new adventures brings back my child hood. I like it how the film and series have such a wide variety of audience. It gives family time a nice touch because it sure is a classic.Personally, I enjoyed watching this movie in the theaters because the whole audience laughing makes the film much more comedic and enjoyable.
here is a trailer to Toy Story 3

My absolutely all time favorite film is Howl's Moving Castle 

I absolutely enjoyed the animation and plot in this film. It brings in fantasy in such an enchanting manner. The targeted audience is very diverse too. While animation films are more targeted towards children, this film also has subtle symbolism of human drama.  I have always been a fan of Mr. Hayao Miyazaki's works and this one really stayed as my favorite.
I have seen this movie in DVD format.
