Food for thought

I had fun starting up this web blog. I enjoyed the fact that i was able to actually customize the background and actually choose the font for the text.  I look forward to blogging my ideas for this class. In reading the handout i was confused about synergy so i did some research on what it was and i found a quote that i feel supported the definition i found. In reading the article it was hard for me to get into because it seemed to jump around but then I found it was fun to read text in the comic form. I found that the statement “Television, radio, films, videos, newspapers, magazines, comics are all cultural productions” was an interesting quote. To me that means that we define ourselves through our culture and if we define ourselves by our culture then we are defined by what we watch, read, listen to, and the places we go. However I also feel that there may just be too many programs and tabloid papers out there.


According to Wikipedia.org, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synergy), Synergy is defined as "in general, may be defined as two or more agents working together to produce a result not obtainable by any of the agents independently."
                In doing research I found a quote that seemed to match this definition, at the following link (http://www.famousquotesabout.com/quote/A-lot-of-what/184030). The quote was by Don Snyder, "A lot of what we will do is get our arms around what we have. Look for ways to create synergy and then get everybody driving down the road in the same direction." I feel that when Don says "what we will do is get our arms around what we have" they mean that we will use the skills and the knowledge that we have to contribute to the project we are working on. When he says "Look for ways to create synergy" he means looking for skills we can learn that will create a better outcome for the project.
