The PinkPrint Life Of Nicki Minaj (Williams)

## Introduction of PinkPrint

Technology means "The scientific knowledge of the industry."[1] The internet brings things in a quick way of communication of different things in life. The internet makes you debate on if something is true or not. The reading of Is Google Making Us Stupid by Nicholas Carr. The reading states "Adapting to the new technology is reflected on the metaphors that we use to relate to ourselves." The metaphors that we can use to relate to the new technology is cellphones, computers, and recording music to the use of technology to spread to the world.The technology that we use for our day to day life influences us in many ways. For example Is Facebook Making Us Lonely by Stephen Marche. Facebook was giving Yvette Vickers comfort in a way by people that she did not know. She felt like she was alone in reality but in the media she had people there. Sometimes the media is not enough. When you have people in reality it makes you feel better. Sometimes technology can be your own worst enemy at times. Yvette took her own life because she was just not happy with a lot of things in life. Technology took a toll on her life. Sometimes we have to debate on if technology can help us in life or can it be our own worst enemy.

The reading of Dracula we are invading people privacy and reading their diaries. There were somethings that we should have not read in Mina's Diary. How Mina felt about Harker. The characters wrote about their personal experiences and gave us details about how they felt about people and the situation of Dracula.

Favorite means on the album being important to someone and just having their heart at the time. Pink Print focuses mainly on being in love and being hurt , lied to, and taking control from the guy. On the album their is a song call "The Crying Game." This song relates to being heart broken and about to get married but the wedding was over.

The reading of Is Google Making Us Stupid? We had to to understand the thought and the point of view about how the author felt about Google and other sources of the media. The music industry we have to see if the music can relate to us. That's how artist's get fans to love them. If a song relates to them than that we will start listening to more of the artist song and look more into them. If it was not for Authorial Intention than there would not be a connection to anything. Authorial Intention is in everyone day by day life. We listen to music every single day.
