Credit Alligator




A short clip us usually shown at the end of a multimedia project
This short clip is called the Post-credits scene wherein names of
the people who were involved in the making of the project were
flash on the screen. Credit Alligator is just like treacherous 
animal which can be found in the swamp. According to Tay
Vaughan, credit alligator appears late in a multimedia project
which can be a danger in the work-group politics and can be
the reason for the destruction of friendship and business relation-
ship. 

The credit scene is the ticket in getting hired and doing the thing
that you love because if employers were able to see your name
as part of the team, you will have a greater chance to have a new
job. If your name is visible enough to be noticed by the people,
it will be of great advantage that's why there were a lot of greedy
reptiles who would want their name to be flashed on the screen.

Crediting a creative talent is a sensitive issue. As much as
possible, it is better to consult all the members of the team before
giving credits. Talk intellectually and be open to critiques. Be
sure the negotiation about the inclusion in the project is solved. 
Beforehand, plan carefully and organize everything. Multimedia
doesn't emerge from bankroll of investors and publishers, but is 
the result of hard work of talented real people.

Netizenship

Netizen is the combination of the words interNET and ciTIZEN. Netizens is an active participant in the online community as given definition by the Meriam-Webster Dictionary. As I further explore the world of a netizen, I came to a site (http://www.netizenship.net) which gives the pledge of a responsible netizen. It was more like the ten commandments for me.The first commandment is the understanding that rights are always balanced with responsibilities. The second commandment was more about treating others with respect in person and online. Followed by this "think before you click". Before doing something in the internet, one must think it not just thrice but many times because the internet is a global community which means that everyone is your audience as long as they have the access to the internet. The next commandment is related to the third one, it states that it if you can, doesn't mean that you should do. The next commandment will be about plagiarism, it is simply means using the work of others without giving any appropriate citation. the sixth commandment is about understanding that not everyone has Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and connectivity as you do. It was followed by understanding that every action will not affect you but others. The next commandment simply states that everything you put on the internet cannot be taken back. They will have the record in their history list what you do, when you do and where you do. The next commandment is taking a dramatic vow to use ICTs for the betterment of the world. Last but not the least, Netizen must promise to use this Netizenship Pledge to guide our actions in person and online
