In order to improve my Little Brother Remix, I doubled the length, adding a second part about Ange’s reasoning for turning Marcus in and I also touched on how it affected him psychologically. Ange explains that she is a double agent and that she believes national security to be far more important than an individual’s freedom of speech. After Ange betrays him, Marcus explains how he doesn’t know who he can trust because of the extreme paranoia that he feels after being lied to and the bombings in general. In addition to the text, I also added “profiles” to the side of the website. They portray Ange and Marcus in the way I would imagine them to appear in a government computer program showing their basic information. It is really just for the aesthetics of the page.

For my research project, I am interested in researching how various types of new media can influence people and spread news and opinions more effectively than traditional news sources such as television and news papers. For example, I would like to focus on how blogging and other types of social networking sites affected the political turmoil and rebellion in Northern Africa. I find it very interesting because anyone can have a blog or other type of website, but not anyone can present their feelings over traditional news sources. Also, the government has much less control over the internet which makes it much more effective for conveying any type of message, even anti-government.
