Websites review

Good website: www.disney.go.com
This is a good website.This website has an attractive layout.This makes you feel calm and also gives you a look as if you are in the sky. The idea of a fantasy. It is interactive and entertaining. You want to click on a label to go to that specific page, a little picture over the label turns into colours as you put your mouse over the word of the page you want to click on. It is everything to grab your attention to be on this website.

Bad website: www.asimplewebsite.com
This website is really boring. There is not much to it to grab your attention. It is nothing entertaining or nothing happens on this website. The layout is not creative, original or unique, so it is not eye catching and interesting. This website is just plain white as the background and it is very simple. This website has few colours, but it is mainly white. The only thing i could say that is good about thai website is that it is so simply that it makes it super easy to know what to do or where everything is as there is not much on the website.

1.Have we reached this point in our entertainment "experience"?
The biggest thing out there would be the media. Cameras are now everywhere. Schools, shopping malls, streets..
I think we are being watched just as Truman was in the movie, but not as a whole life process. Yes were being watched to a point, but we are not watched every single place we go. Camera play a big role where we could be watched from so many places at once. Example: a celebrity would be walking outside and someone would be watching them through a camera and having them air on television or internet. The celebrity would be watched. I think how Truman was watched is like how celebrities are watched, but not in as much details as Truman.

2.Is Truman's whole world fake or is it real? Is what Christof says true or is he justifying the world that he created?
Truman is living in a world where what is happening is just showing the real world in a fake way. What is real is out there outside of the world he is living in. It is as if he has the experience of a real world, while everything is fake inside the world he is living in. Truman never realized that the world he lived in was just a make up and not real. It was all just pretend. His world was justified as Christof was telling him what was happening when he was in this world. I do not think what Christof was saying was true, but was justifying the fact about Truman being in this fake world.
