regulating the internet
1. On the internet, there are many different things that are available for access to the whole world. These things include:
photos
blogs
videos (youtube)
The fact that they are available to everyone and anyone shows a lack of security, allowing strangers to easily find out other information about anyone they want
2. Monitoring internet regulation could lead to a wide variety of problems. For example, people could use information that they have found out for their own personal reasons. This could also lead to information being used for leverage over others. In other words, in extreme cases, it could lead to blackmail.
3. In my opinion the only people that can monitor peoples internet browsing is their friends. They can be turned to for advice and can also offer advice when their friends seems as if they are going to make a mistake.
4. Monitoring internet regulation woud require a large organisation as the internet is used worldwide by billions of people. It would take a lot of people to monitor internet regulation, and it would also take more than one organisation. Therefore, monitoring internet regulation would be too expensive to apply on a global scale.
5. Websites could be sorted into categories, such as sports, social networking and music, Each I.P address could come up under each website when the website has been visited. Then the total number of I.P addresses per website could come up in a column titled "Total", where each total for each category would be added up at the end of every day.
6. disadvantages of internet regulation could include websites stealing other websites visitors. For example, a certain site could see what other sites that their sites lack, in order to make up for their lack of/less visitors.

print ad analysis
Colour- The fact that the person whom is actually wearing the product that is being promoted is the only one in colour, whereas everything else is in greyscale, makes the brand stand out. Therefore, this catches the readers eye. However, as the copy is the same colour as the background, just a different shade, this makes it difficult to decipher the further you stand away from the image. The people in greyscale want to get the colour from the main person, therefore, this ad connotes that everyone wants adidas.
Framing-
Size- The size of the copy is rather small in comparison to the image itself. Therefore, it does not catch the customers eye as much as the image does.
Type of shot- This is a long shot, as we can see everything in the image, such as the main persons surroundings and the setting. The camera angle is taken from the front as we can see what is directly in front of the main person.
Subject Matter- The subject of this particular advert is a sportsman, wearing an Adidas kit, is in an area where the life has been sucked out of it. We can assume this due to the fact that everything else apart from the Adidas kit is greyscale. Therefore, everyone there wants the kit and the colour it represents. Also, the kit is red and the person is performing a football trick. Therefore, this could connote that mainly football fans would prefer this type of clothing.
Setting: Although we can’t see much, we can assume that the setting of this advert is in a wasteland away from civilisation as everyone there looks as if they are drained of life.
Lighting: Due to the lack of lighting, this has a negative effect on one of the aspects of the advert. This makes the setting seem rather depressed. However, this also makes the adidas kit seem like its bringing life into the area.
Pose- As the guy is performing a volley in mid-air, we can safely assume that this is a natural pose, as it would be impossible to pose in mid air for a picture.
