Vlogging and its affordances and disadvantages

Vlogging, short for "video blogging", is blogging through a video. A blog is any web page updated on a regular basis with discrete entries.For example Shaanxo is a vlogger who publishes videos of make up tutorials and hauls of her make up colection and favourite foundations for summer,winter and spring. So many people follow her vlogs that she has brought out xo beauty which is a collection of make up brushes, rings and false eyelashes, also lots more.She is now earning money through having popularity from her vlog. She also does vlogs with other vloggers such as Lauren Curtis and xLivLovesMakeup, who also vlog about make up. Shaanxo also does question and answer vloggs. Even though there are many affordances such as income there are also disadvantages such as many people cannot watch 20 minute videos as they may not have time, also for the vlogger it may be hard to keep constantly up to date and could potentially begin to take over your life.When Shaanxo Vloggs she is very general and talks in first person. She talks about her personal experiences and reccomendations also she talks about different styles of make up and colours they work well with. http://www.xobeautyshop.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/shaaanxo

language and technology

Alexander Graham Bell's notebook entry of 10 March 1876 describes his successful experiment with the telephone. Speaking through the instrument to his assistant, Thomas A. Watson, in the next room, Bell utters these famous first words, "Mr. Watson -- come here -- I want to see you."

This shows the creation of an eaiser way to keep in contact with friends, now that facebook and social networking has been incoperated with phones it is easier to keep in contact with everyone you assosiate with and eaisier to chat to new people.This can also be a bad thing as it can influence and fuel bullying and/or threatening or innapropriate behaviour.

Alot of issues can also be formed because it is easier to segregate people and easier to comment on things that are happening, tjhis can be extreamly upsettig for some people and in certain cases the people on the recieving end of the harrassment decide to end their lives.

Language has changed also there are now more abbreviations, such as 'lol' or 'lmao', technology has formed a new language and now this language is beinmg incorperated in to peoples speech and influences their idiolect daily.

Just from this short extract I can see a small pattern emerging, the person describing takes long pauses and uses lots of fillers.I can also see that when describing there were things that were unclear as a question was asked. i also think the vocabulary used and the way things were explained were also dependant on the fact it was being recorded, this means that because of the recording it was adder to focus and therefore more fillers are used to cover the thought process.
