Hey, my name is Iron Man and I'm the lead weapons engineer and weapons trainer here at this facility.  I used to be able to go out and neutralize the trouble makers around the city, but I lost my left leg and arm on a mission and that's why my job now is to develop weapons for these younger guys and teach them how to use them effectively.  I really miss being the hero in this city and being in the spotlight these past 20 years, however, now it's time for our city to find some new and younger talent.

In my last interview, someone asked me about the next deadly weapon that I've been working on.  Proudly, I can finally say that I've reached the final stages of development for it.  This rig is called the Fat Man 2000 or Fat Man 2k for short.  It's embedded in the standard suit and only holds one shot, so it can only be used once and is usually used for the final blow to finish off weakened bosses.  Fragments of the Fat Man 2k are stored in various places throughout the suit and can only be accessed when the enemy has less than 2000 health.  Once the enemy has less than 2k hp, a blue button pops up on the inner left forearm of the suit.  Once pressed, the fragments pop out from the suit and assemble themselves into a missile right in front of you.  After the missile is assembled, a green launch button pops up on the right inner forearm of the suit.  Press this button and the enemy is automatically finished off. 

People used to always ask me, "What is like to be a super hero Iron Man?"  Well my best answer to that question is to treat it as more of a game than a job.  Every time I get a call for a mission, I get excited because it's another opportunity to test out some of my new weapons that I'm always working on.  Yeah, sometimes it gets a bit tiring and tedious, but in the end I get a lot of satisfaction killing off these monsters and making our people feel safe.

Symone Williams- Davis Chapters 1 and 2

*This is posted late, I am aware and will face the consequences* Chapter 1: I chose the rhetorical triangle as my artifact because it is how I learned to write persuasively in high school. I feel it symbolizes the evolution of writing and how it's come because there were many doors that writing opened. Written word cannot be fully explained through a triangle, but this shows the purpose of writing; which is a visual representation of phonetic combinations. Also writing was created to convey messages to others. It was created so many civilizations ago that we often take it for granted. We no longer appreciate writing in its simplest form because we have developed new technologies that we deem as more helpful.  Even by inventing the alphabet, societies were able to attach phonetic sounds to verbal representations. These verbal representations became essential to society and scripture. being able to convey thoughts visually was once a mysticism, and now it is a part of our daily...

Kenna - Chapter 6

In terms of Davis’s chapter 6, I wanted to look into the term ‘personal computer’ and analyze some of the (now iconic) brand identity that accompanied the release of the PC. My area of study is communication and brand management so names are incredibly important to me. Davis describes the instance in 1972, when Brand first coined the term for Esquire (172). Imagining a time where communications about innovative technology regarding computers, including the simplest of categorical names we know today, were solely on paper fascinated me. The fact that you never hear ‘personal computer’ as a whole anymore fascinated me even more. It brought me back to a time when my parents had a large desktop monitor and laptops were a true commodity. We would ask our parents if we could “get on the computer” instead of “can I borrow your laptop?”. But there really is magic in a name. Alliteration and assonance are a huge help when it comes to the consumer. The soft sound of a ‘p’ is far more alluring t...

Jack Trembath Davis Ch. I-II

Davis begins his book, TechGnosis by looking at the beginning of technologies of information and their crossroads with the mystical and human nature’s curiosity with the unknown.  He writes about the great divide created in the west between nature and culture, characteristic of modernity, that freed the west to take technology and innovation to a new level.  He argues that because the two were not tied together for western culture, they could view them outside of each other and create technology without fully worrying about the consequences it had on culture.  Despite this supposed divide, Davis demonstrates how even early technology wired its way into the world around us and influenced the path of history and ways of thoughts in unavoidable manners.  He points out how technologies from the beginning created newer views of animism and formed liminal zones at the crossroads of innovation.  Essentially, technology allowed for more creative spaces at the price of ...
