Culture Mission

Personal Data Tracking

Why I chose this as my second mission...

After reading all the different choices for the culture missions I knew straight away that this was the one I wanted to research more.
Before starting this mission I knew absolutely nothing about personal data tracking or even what it meant, but once I started to brainstorm on it I realized it would be a very interesting topic, as well as one that could help your daily life.

The first thing I looked at was my phone. I did this to find out what type of data I could find and track using my phone. This was when I decided I would base my part of the mission on data found on your phone.
I looked into my settings and found "Apple Screen Time". I chose to keep track of my screen time over one week. I wanted to do this to one, show my class that your phone keeps track of everything you do on it and how long you use it but also, educate myself on how much I use my phone and certain apps.

Another reason I chose to base my mission on data found on your phone was that it always was a shock to me that apps such as Google maps can tell exactly where you are. I wondered how this was possible.

After starting my research for this mission I am glad this is the one a chose to work on. Many of the questions I had before on personal data have been answered and I look forward to presenting to my class.

Methodology Mission  Image Visualisation Why I chose this? At first I had no idea what image visualisation even meant but I knew it sounded interesting. After reading through the mission briefs on the CDM website this one stood out the most to me. It stood out the most for a number of reasons, the first being that I could really do what I want when it came to this mission . For example I could chose the types of images I would work with aswell as the different tools I would use.  Another thing was that it was up to me how I wanted to display my images and what point I wanted to get across. It was interesting to me that images can mean so many different things just by the way they are shown. I wanted to understand this more and think about things from a different perspective. I wanted to show people that we can think outside the box sometimes and tell or show things in different ways.  I knew the outcome of this mission had to the a video and believed th...

Introduction To Zoe

Hi, I’m Zoe! People often recognise me by my crazy hair colours!  It’s now blue, but at one stage it was pink, purple and even navy. In May I sat my Leaving Cert and decided I wanted to go straight to college. The CDM course was the only course I put on my Cao and I was delighted when I got accepted. I thought this course was the right one for me because I am often described as creative and did not want to be bogged down learning from books for another four years, I like to get up and do practical work to learn. To be honest I have no idea what I want to be at the end of these four years but I’m sure I’ll figure it out soon. One thing I do know is that I want to travel. I hope to be out of this country as soon as these four years are over! There are many more things I think deserve to be included in this introduction to myself like the fact I work in Lifestyle Sports in Blanchardstown. This December I’ll be working there for two years and can proudly say I am now a superviso...
