To Share or Not to Share??

I think that file sharing is completely fine. Some people consider file sharing as theft, but I disagree with them. Theft is when you take the product and original is gone. While file sharing is just copying the file. The original is still there. I do not think it is wrong and it does not harm anybody. I don't have a problem with file sharing unless someone is making a profit from it.

I would still hold the same opinion even if I produced my own music. Although I lose money, it is getting my music out there and that is what I would want. If someone really loved music, and making it, they shouldn't care about the money as long as their music is becoming more popular.

I think it is acceptable to download copyrighted material if it is only intended for personal use. As I said before, as long as someone is not making a profit from it, I think it is okay.

Career Mashing!

I looked through the website and I found that I am mostly and innovator. I am creative, imaginative and curious. I think I would enjoy being an App designer. I am passionate about mobile and I can take complicated concepts into simple practical apps. I am also very open to new ideas.

App designers are innovative and imaginative. They think of ideas that would improve or make the mobile experiance more enjoyable and easier. Good app designers have a sharp visual eye, they can take an idea and turn it into a lifelike 3D animation or cartoon character, using things like digital imaging tools. App designers make apps for the iPhone, Blackberry, Android etc.

If you are interested in being an app designer the courses you would take would be, interactive multimedia design or visual arts programs and such.

Kevin Systrom designs apps like Instagram. He made the app so the user would be able to understand how to work it within seconds. Kevin graduated from Stanford University in 2006. He had worked at Google for two years and some of the things he worked on was Gmail and Google Reader. He had always had a passion making communication more easy via social products.
