If I need to sell iphonus which I definitely not going to sell, but if I really need to sell my super fancy phone, I would like to put is up for auction. First if I put my iphonus up for auction the price of iphonus will increase until the end of the auction. For second reason, auction is more trustful. Finally for advertisement to spread news about auction of iphonus, I would like to use YouTube video.

First, I mentioned that I would like to put up my iphonus for auction because of possibility to gain a lot of money that I can’t even imagine. People compete with others to achieve a goal and to win the competition they need to call higher money than price that another person called. At the end of competition person who called the highest price win the auction which is good for me and it is fun to watch them fighting each other to win it. Everything I need to do is appeal my iphnous and pull my fishing rod when a big gigantic fish bite my bait.. Another reason for why I am using auction is I’m the first one who sells iphonus, so there is no certain price for iphonus. Therefore let people decide the price would be better than selling it in certain price. If people in high class know about the potential and usability of iphonus they wouldn’t mind to invest money in it. There is timeturn app that makes people to be able to leap the time to past. You can invest money in realty that you know price of land will increase. Therefore making money? It is the easiest thing you can do with iphonus you can be anything even better than rich. For the advertisement to get an attention from people is needed. Solution for that I am thinking about hiring famous youtuber. These days, internet technology is well developed that people can watch YouTube in anywhere especially places with Wi-Fi are hot place to everyone. People connect their phone to Wi-Fi and enjoy watching YouTube. There are lots of fan of youtuber like my friend “RP” in my class is big fan of YouTube he likes to spend his spare time with YouTube videos. If you YouTube there are a lot of ads are running. Below the video, and even during the video is playing they stop a while and play an advertisement so people who want to continue watching their video, they were needed to wait until the advertisement ends. By using this I would like to tell the address, functions of this phone and the potential of it.

Therefore I think deciding certain price for iphonus is silly thing. Iphonus has a lot of potential it can’t be measured with money but if I need to sell it I would like to put up my iphonus for auction for those reasons. For advertisement, I would like to hire YouTuber who is really popular and well trustful.

Healthy life guide tells us that it is important to keep their life in patterns. If people have their own data dashboard, it would be easier to keep their follow their life patterns. To keep my life in same pattern, I would like to have my whole day my wake up time to bed time on my data dashboard.

First I’d like to put what I do in week days such as when do I wake up, when I have meals, etc. By uploading my schedules, I will be able to see what I have on that day and also I can check what I did in the past for recalling of memories. Well, even though I have all of my schedules in my data schedule I don’t think I’m that faithful to look up my data dashboard to check my schedules. Rather than using dashboard, I will use my own AI called “Friends” to ask my school schedules, but as I mentioned above, saving your day life in dashboard can be a good experience to look back what you did like diary you write before you go to bed- I believe you guys that you quitted writing a diary until now.

Second thing that I want on my data dashboard is all of the information of my relatives. I have such a bad power of memory that I can’t remember my relatives of course I do remember my close relatives but I counts to only really close relatives if it goes over uncle or cousins, well, too bad I don’t remember you. This is why my data dashboard should contain information from my relatives so I don’t see them with smiling face and ask them “What is your name?” I think it is the worst situation can be happened between relatives, especially on holiday. So I hope I have their information but not specifically just a name with picture will be needed on my dashboard.

Last thing that I want on my data dashboard is record for my usage of money. These days, I feel like I lost economic sense. I like hanging out with my friends during weekends so I spend about 10$-20$ for every single meetings. Well, you think it’s not a lot but you need to know that’s how much I use during only weekends. I felt 10$ was not a lot but one day I was thinking about my money that I spent for a month, and I was surprised even though I used 10 $ a day it was really huge. There is a Korean proverb: Many a mickle makes a muckle which means, if little things gather, they will become really humongous thing.

Therefore I want all these for my convenient and economic sense. Actually I want to treat my data dashboard as my part of my. My own brain takes job for memorizing and studying and my second brain “data dashboard” will take saving detailed information that my real brain can’t memorize.

Memory that I absolutely remember is first day of my high school and how I made my friends one the other hand by some reasons, I can’t remember first day of my elementary and middle school and how I got close with friends at that time until now. It may be because I have bad memory or my brain thinking it is useless to think about it for another reason is my life is too busy enough to get time to go look back.

First reason for why adult can’t remember their past is most of humans brains are not well developed to memorize everything by seeing things only once. According to result of experiment, when people see words, they memorized 100% in a moment. But by time passes, the percentage of words that they memorized decreases. 1 day later they for about 77% of words and finally when 31 days passed, only 21% words have left over in their brain which is really low. These results telling that if we don’t review, we can easily forget things. I had a same experience. I was needed to memorize 100 words at academy I started with fine condition so I finished early but next day, I had a strange experience about losing memories.

Secondly, brain doesn’t remember every single thing that we see. If it does, that person should be a genius who all countries want to have. Unfortunately I’m not a genius like that I’m a regular person like others-actually I’m not sure that if I’m normal. As I mentioned above, if we don’t see things with focus or not review it, we will not be able to remember whole things unless you are a genius who can memorize whole thing by seeing thing once. Therefore, normal people’s brains can’t memorize every single thing that happened long time ago unless you write diary on a note with a lock on it every end of the day and read it.

Lastly, adults don’t have spare time to look through their past especially in Korea. Students in High school study about 15 hours a day to prepare their test for College. After they graduate high school, they need to prepare for their job. After they got a job, they need to work for whole day. Therefore, they have no time to think about their past. And I don’t think anyone wants to spend their time on that. I think they would work if they have time to waste time on thinking useless thing.

Therefore it is useless and wasting of time to past that can’t go back. I’m not saying looking back on the past is bad but some people thinking that they would work rather than wasting time. Well some people may think that old memories are the most valuable thing in people’s life like a guy I know in my school who saves all the videos and works forever. There is a saying that frog can’t remember their tadpole time. As it means, adults can’t remember what they did wrong at young age.

Congratulation! You are the selected one. You are a final one who won the business trip to Daegu International School (DIS). You will have undercover missions in Dis. You will be a student of Dis and I will give you several important rules that students keep and teachers that you need to avoid please look bottom of this paragraph rules will be shown.

As I mentioned above, this paragraph will explain about DIS’ school laws that students must keep. First, you are not allowed to use any Korean except in Korean study class. If you spend most of you school life with Korean, as my friend I know, you will get all the attention from all the teachers like my friend which is very dangerous to you who need to have undercover missions. So be aware of dangerous. Another rule that you need to watch out is a rule of uniform. You need to wear uniform no matter what you are doing in DIS area. Actually we can wear plain clothes on special day but you need to pay 5000won and we don’t have enough supplies to support that money so if you really want to wear plain clothes, you need to pay with your personal money. Also my same friend demonstrated about seriousness of not wearing uniform all day and the result was not pretty good. Thanks to that friend, he reminded me about the happen when students break the laws by demonstrate everything.

Second thing is teachers that you need to avoid. I would like you to avoid Mr. Jolly, DIS vice president, if you are not sure you will be a good student. If your grade or behaviors are bad, he will catch when you pass through him and you will have the best day ever in your life. If you want to feel heaven and hell at same time it will be nice to have that experience. If you are branded as a troublemaker avoids him at first. Second person I want you to avoid is Ms. Chang. She is a Chinese teacher so you don’t need to care about her unless you will take Spanish. But if you are going to take Chinese it is really dangerous. She always presents a gift to students called “homework” as much as we can’t actually handle it. We will also experience heaven and hell but without heaven. She is really nice to students and takes care of them well. But that’s why you need to avoid her. If you can’t handle your homework, obviously, she will call you every spare time. I know you are not going to make mistake but to make sure.

Therefore I suggested things about DIS that might be help you. As I said it is undercover mission it needs to be in secret. I hope you follow this instruction to keep you secret so you don’t lose your job and everything. I also hope you finish all the missions you will have at DIS successfully.

Do you agree or disagree with a statement that manipulation is at the core of social interaction. In my opinion and what I’m thinking is manipulation is at the core of social interaction. And we can see a lot of manipulation from anywhere.

Korean school that I’ve been in before I came to this school had 11 classes for each grade and had 41 students for each class which is really big than other schools. And of course we had a lot of personality and appearance. In my school, there were some friends group called carnivorous group, herbivorous group, and neutral group. Students in carnivorous group like to play with their friends rather than doing their homework-I was in neutral group but little bit tilted to carnivorous- on the other hand, Herbivorous group is consisted of people called “nerd” and they are a big game for carnivorous group. In my view point, Herbivorous group wasn’t looking great for me. Doing homework all the time was unthinkable thing for me at that time and friends in Herbivorous looked so kind that can’t even have a GUYS conversation. So I stayed close with friends in neutral and carnivorous and tried to avoid Herbivorous. Now I feel silly that I tried to avoid them.

Another example is my experience that happened during DIS school life. In lunch time, I usually talk or play with my friend while I’m waiting for the line and a woman who hand out food saw I was smiling and thought I’m really polite and kind that I always smile which was not intentional. But I couldn’t say “this smile is not for you lady.” So until now I smile at her every time and I when I smile at her I always think that it’s too late to go back.

Final manipulation I have is about government. In my mind there are a lot of corruptions in Government. All the Medias talk about corruptions of government even though they are not about corruption it was something bad thing about government such as Sewol ferry disaster. So now I am so brainwashed that i can’t fix my mind This thought is not only for me. There was a survey called which government do you trust the most? There were national tax service, education office, the prosecution, police, the meteorological administration, post office, ministry of national defense, and Korean food and drugs administration. 19317 people participated with this survey and the result of it was post office is the most trustful by getting over 80% of vote. About 15453 people vote for post office this is really desperate. Only 20 % of people voted for others.

I mentioned 3 examples of manipulation. And didn’t actually explained how manipulation is at the core of social interaction. But I showed how medias and first meeting affect your manipulation. Most of people saying that writing shows author’s personality. And I think it’s perfect statement for me. My mind is not organized every day and can’t express well. I guess this is manipulation of me.

30 minutes

One day while I watched a TV program. It was a rerunning program that I had seen in long time ago. As we know, there are several gaps in rerunning program called commercial time. Especially, after the end of the program and before the program start, there is a huge gap. That’s what I hate the most.
Commercial time before the program start annoys me all the time. I usually wake up at 6:30 to get ready for the school bus. The first thing I do when I wake up was turn on TV and having breakfast. At 6:30 there is nothing to watch except advertisement, because of the gap, every morning when it’s time to have breakfast, I watch advertisement for 30 minutes which is the most boring time in my day life.

Movie on TV also has advertisements time before the start and the middle of the movie. They are at least 30 minutes which is enough time for me to change channel and forget about the movie. I’m good with the advertisement before the movie start, but in the middle of the movie is the worst thing about TV. Usually movies are separated to 2 parts, part 1 and part 2. Between them there is a rest time called advertisement. The length of advertisement is same as before begging of a movie about 30 minutes long. As I mentioned above 30 minutes are enough for me to change TV channel and forget to get back on it. I need to go back to movie channel if it’s started or not. I don’t want to do that every single time when the advertisements are running on TV and I can’t easily stop checking it because of the curiousness of next part of movie. When the time goes over 20 minutes my brain starts to come up with all the bad words that I learned and heard.

If there is 30 minutes ad time, there is also 1 minute ad time. It might be short that can’t annoy me but 1 minute is really short that can’t have no chance to change channel for a while until a program starts. Everything I can do at that time is watching commercial. 15 seconds of 4 commercials drive me crazy. Everything gets slow even the time likes a superhero. With a little exaggeration, 1 second changes to 1 minute for me at that time. By those commercials I learned patience, and how people die (insurance commercial). Now I feel commercials are my friends because every day single day I start my day with commercials. Single word that commercials say is a great advice now.

Even though I have resistance for a commercial, helps me as I mentioned in paragraph 4, and start my morning with commercial, I still can’t love it. In my point of view it is a thing that disturbs my entertainment every single time. Therefore, all the commercials that on my TV is the worst commercials. Additionally, not only a advertisement on TV annoys me. Advertisement on youtube is also my worst advertisement because same reason as TV advertise.
