Invictus

My podcast will be of me reciting the poem "Invictus." Invictus is a poem written by William Ernest Henley in 1875. The poem is a very self empowering poem and is a poem that I learned will going through my process of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity.



Out of the night that covers me
Black as the pit from pole to pole
I thank whatever Gods, may be for my unconquerable soul
In the fell cluth of circumstance
I have not winched nor cried aloud
Under the bludgeons of chance
My head is bloody but unbowed
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade
And yet in the meance of the years
Finds, and shall find me unafraid
It matters not how straight the gate
How charged with punishment the scroll
I am the mast of my fate
I am the captain of my soul.

The Media

"The Machine is Us/ing Us, illustrates views of us a society becoming weak and inferior because we rely so much on technology. It kinda reminded me of the movie I,Robot, in which the community relied so much on the robots that in the end, the robots turned on the humans and pretty much held them captive. It speaks of a society who has handicapped itself without knowing it by relying so heavily on technology.

Of course the podcast I selected is about sports. It is pretty much about my Boston Red Sox's and showing that one of the most underrated players is actually the one who is the MVP for the team right now.

Remediation

When looking at the communication of the web. There are a lot of strengths and weaknesses. Some of the strengths would be the availability and amount of sources for the user. The user has the ability to find sources rapidly and the ability to communicate amongst users. The amount of new media is also a strength. Updated information allows the user to not have to look up outdated information. One of the weaknesses of the communication of the web would be outdated material. There are occasions when material is well outdated but because the web is unmanageable, there is no way of personally removing the old material if you are not the one who published the work.
