While I definitely believe I've learned a lot from this class in regards to all things electronic (since I was quite terrible with anything electronic before) I still am unsure about what I want to do for my final project. Sitting in the Study, I think about what interests me; music, books, pictures, nature, people, beauty, language, food, shopping, movies, and so forth.

My current idea is to create a fake person through a social media profile (maybe twitter since I do not have one) formed by eavesdropping and/or taking pictures and information from other public profiles, or idealized things today, to illustrate how easily information can be obtained and abused through the internet as well as to demonstrate the deceptive cloak the Internet can create. Another idea would be to create a book of lies filled with statements, pictures, or mentions of the word 'lie' from different platforms compiled into one PDF. Another idea could be a "How to start a conversation" filled with what peoples' opening lines or moves are to start a conversation online or in real life...in which case I could incorporate how people use memes, gifs, and cheesy jokes and all. (May ask people specifically or just go off of what people have used on me and what can be found on the Internet). So I suppose I have multiple ideas, none of which I'm sure would be good per se or even as easy as I hope. I would also really love to do something with food/drinks, but I have no idea what I could do along those lines...so some feedback would definitely be amazing! See y'all tomorrow :D

While I definitely believe I've learned a lot from this class in regards to all things electronic (since I was quite terrible with anything electronic before) I still am unsure about what I want to do for my final project. Sitting in the Study, I think about what interests me; music, books, pictures, nature, people, beauty, language, food, shopping, movies, and so forth. So the trick is to somehow combine the maximum number of these interests while still being a relatively easy and cool project for Elit.
