Photoshop is awesome

Photoshop is an example of one of the 8 norms of the net generation. CUSTOMIZATION is what we all love and our curiosity on how to be heard is only growing. There are many bad things about Photoshop and misleading information but I want to talk about the positives with the younger generations. With a huge love for social networking sites and people who aren't even in college or high school creating blogs and websites for personal interest it's no surprise that we are loving Photoshop and discovering the cool things it allows us to do. Photoshop is a creative tool that in a way lets you see ANYTHING from your own perspective. Seeing things from your own perspective is great with artwork. Anyone who knows Photoshop can take any picture advertisement etc and change anything they like or don't like about it. You can even create an entirely new project of your own. What this is doing is sparking the creative imaginations of younger generations. We are doing what Bauerlein thinks we never do and that’s use these technological tools outside of the classroom for personal use.

I found a random guys blog with a post called Sex Lies and Photoshop what are we doing to the young generation. It doesn't go with my views in my post but he focuses on how the media alters a woman's body in magazines and he shows some cool before and after photos of models, I thought it was neat the changes are crazy!
