This is Me

-

 Hello everyone,

My name is Ashley Montes and I am a Digital Technology and Culture and Fine Arts major. I am a short Libra with two sisters. One younger and one older making me the forgotten child. According to my family whom bestowed on me as a person of a  jack of all trades; smartass, meteorologist, botanist, engineer, I.T, geologist, welder, artist, vet, etc. I carry a business card that states so and qualified to do all these things. 

There a few things that I like to do in my free time boxing, (Not Fight Club, and we do not talk about it) fishing, and hiking. The most rewarding hike Colchuck, Leavenworth, Washington beautiful, crystal clear, blue lake but this hike makes you work for these unbeatable views. Steep incline and not mention rock stairs at last mile and totally worth the pain the next day.


So, that is me 5 foot2 inches and a half (it counts) smartass, boxer, a hiker that refuses to let go of her middle child syndrome. Cheers to another year at WSU.

Definition of Digital inclusion.

That every individual has internet access regardless of where they are, and who they are—race, culture, disability, age, and environment.  Access to this information allowed without a catch. Their environment is not a strike against the right to the internet and its information. Some individuals have disabilities physical or mental access to the digital world is not made simple for them. It is something creators should consider because they are part of society that sometimes leaves them in the background. But they need internet access as much as someone who is blocked. Also, representation online is important because everyone’s story should succeed without obstacles in their way.  It is important for those suppressed because they the ones that need this information and representation. They use platforms to express their injustices, discrimination, and biases in society. And sometimes it does get lost in the crowd of posts because everyone has the right to their thoug...

Response: “ Digital Protest, Hashtag Ethnography, And The Racial Politics of Social Media In The United States” by Yarimar Bonilla and Jonathan Ross

  Area 1: In the article “digital protest, hashtag ethnography, and the racial politics of social media in the United States” by Yarimar Bonilla and Jonathan Rosa analyzes the impact of the internet protests and hashtags. And further discussions on how powerful social platforms are to demonstrators and the downfalls of using online protests. They mention an individual reporting they saw someone gun downed. I can’t help but think of George Fylod and the live footage aired. And the viral spread of man dying witnessed in real life and virtual. History repeats itself.  Area 2: Protesting changed from demonstrations dropping picket signs to hashtags at end of    a social post. A different way to reach people. It spreads information faster and world wide vs. some protests that may only make it to the local news. However, there is downfall to fast track information people lose the awareness along the way because they see    as trendy hashtag that everyone is doing...

Response: “Enterprise Village: Intellectual Property and Rural Optimization” Anita Say Chan

 Area 1: In the book, Networking Peripheries:Technological Futures and the Myth of Digital Universalism, chapter    “ Enterprise Village” mentions globalization of a small village in Peru and connecting it into the internet realm. Mentions IP (intellectual property rights) particularly Chulucans origin of ceramics. Wanting to put Peru art in the map they seek out mass production. However, trying to identify one whole concrete piece of art that consumers can identify as Peru is easier said then done. Other villages within Peru whom feel that chulucans are stealing their characteristics and traditions infused within these ceramics. That they are Losing their identity to the masses. Making a product that selfs identifies as chulucan and not from any other village of Peru. They are “generating interest” among tourists world wide traveling to visit Peru and its culture. And take a piece of culture with them and spread the word that Peru is cultured place.  Area 2:  I...
