Reflection

 The portion of this course that stood out for me was the advertising potential of cellular devices. The technology already knows what each individual likes by what they search online, this is amazing to me. It also makes me think that the world we are moving into is one of a “big brother” society where each person can be addressed individually and are watched to observe what each persons preferences are. Cell phone have the possibility to use augmented reality to find places that have my individual preferences this seems to be a good marketing ploy as it would be instant and allow for business to find customers fast and efficiently if they market themselves well.

 I learnt if your personal brand is diluted regardless of the prestige in education your personal image could be damaged by the picture you unintentionally displayed.

 This class taught me about the possibilities of advertisements and the potential future recognition of individuals from computer life forms which will be incorporated in to everyday life such as television, refrigerators and cars (Microsoft has already started this with sync and facebook with search recognition advertisements). It challenged my knowledge as I had little to no exposure to some of the elements that needed to be known. The personal branding assignment was a challenge. I did not know how I wanted to represent myself, I ended up going for a structured organize website with a pop of colour to show a difference in my personality- it was paired with a monogram I designed showing off my skills however being simple and not confusing. Less is more; if employers are interested they can contact me for further information.

 The website is a quick overview of some of the work I am proud of from UTM which I think employers would find interesting, innovative and funny dependent on what they are looking at or reading. It is a quick overview of my skills as well as some of my interests so potential interviewers can have an idea of the type of person I am as well as my education.
