1. oday many TV shows and advertisements try to look amateurish or "homegrown" to emulate what is often seen on the Web. Do you think professional production values will continue to drop, or do you think amateur user-generated content will get better over time? WHY?

i think that user generated content will get better over time because more and more personal use software is being made by major name brand companys such as mac and windows making the ability to create professional video images and digital communications.

1. What social media sites do you find yourself using the most, and why? In your opinion why is Facebook so much more successful than MySpace, and do you think Facebook is "here to stay" for the long term.

Facebook is the only social media site I use. I think Facebook is a lot more impactful than Myspace every could be because there is not much to keep up with. You do not need to personalize what your page looks like or have the most up to date quizzes and posts. Instead, you can focus your time on being social with your friends and not so self conscious of what your page looks like.
