Digital Fluencies

Animal planet aired a television series called Mermaids: The Body found which was about the legendary sea creature believed to have been existed while there were no scientific evident proved that the creatures have ever existed but there are theories saying they have existed they even tried to convince the public with the series which aired from May 21 to 28, 2012. The public’s response was negative because they believed the series was fictional even the scientists behind the series were not professionals because they had poor footage their story was less than fantastical with about millions of viewers. In my own opinion animal planet didn’t succeed with their campaign in terms of the series because there were many critics about the Mermaid series they couldn’t convince the public about the so called existing sea mysterious creatures because over 3million viewed the series.

THE CLASH OF CLANS

Clash of clans is the online multiplayer game in which players build a community, troops, and attack other players to earn gold and elix.

Dark elixir which can be used to build defense that protect the player from other players attack and to train and upgrade troops, the game also has pseudo single campaign features in which must be attacked by a player in a series of fortified goblin villages. Strategies I used

1. Dark Elixir Bank I ferret away some of the precious liquid safe from the greedy paws of the enemy clashers.

2. I didn’t quit the game because I wanted to win if I was the one who quit I wasn’t going to win

3. Inactivity timeout

4. Resource savings: storage vs collectors

5. Visual cues

My experience I gained during the game

I found out that the Gold Mine graphic, you will see a tiny bin just to the right of where the mine cart comes up. This bin actually indicates how much gold is in the Gold Mine, similar to the visual “fullness” indicator on the storages. Higher level Gold Mines are time consuming to fill up because at level 8 it takes more than a day to fill up and if you see gold bins it means the village is likely abandoned.

Clash of Clans is the very good type of game for the young generation because it demands them to have strategies about any problem and situation they came across in their villages and overcome the problem.
