Media play an important role in our lives because it helps us know what is going on outside the country we are in. But now a days medias are accessible by anyone in the world. Because media comes in the form of pictures, videos, records, Facebook, Twitter and blog posts. People around the world use all of these kind of medias to show what’s happening at their place.

People today live with media almost all the time, and some of them live of media. Like per example the news at the Tv people watch them to be aware of what’s going on. But the journalist don’t only make that kind of media, they gain money from it. And the songs we all listen to are also medias but audio ones. Just like the journalists the singers too make money out of these medias. Same for Facebook and Twitter excepted that the persons who created the social network get the money of it and people who use it only get the views from the others users who might not be in the area as the editor of the post.

Medias kind of change the culture. I think that because some people tend to copy others ideas, which could change their culture or their point of view on their culture. But medias don’t only effect the culture in a wrong way, it allows to share our cultures with others and get to know more about each others.

Personally media is a part of my life too because I use a lot Instagram and Facebook to share what I feel like the others should be aware of  and get to know what’s going on in the world.

Queen Nefertiti was the great royal wife of Akhenaten, mother of six Egyptian princesses. Her and her husband were known for praying only one god, Aten. She had many titles like the Mistress of  Upper and Lower Egypt, Lady of all Women, Great king’s Wife. Not that much is known about Queen Nefertiti. But the fact that she was a powerful and a beautiful woman as her name says it makes many people interested about her. Some suggest that she was daughter or the niece of Ay last Pharaoh of the eighteenth Dynasty. Others say that she wasn’t from Egypt, but maybe from Syria. She was really supportive of the new religion her husband created that she changed her name to Neferneferuaten-Nefertiti which means ” Beautiful are the beauties of Aten, a beautiful woman has come. “. Unlike the other great royal wives of Pharaohs, Queen Nefertiti was the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt just like her husband.

Now a days there is still searches on going about Queen Nefertiti. Lately an archaeologist found what could be Nefertiti’s mummy. And recently in August last year an archaeologist made a discovery that end the mysteries about the Lady of The Tow Lands.

For my genius hour I had to follow at least ten experts in the topic I am doing on Twitter. To make it easier for me to find them when I need informations I created a list. I followed @raphahead ; @paul_dimaggio ; @giacbotta ; @MusicalUrbanism ; @EDMTutorials_ ( this account is no longer on Twitter ) ; @ carzoilus ; @MusicProducer_1 ; @CorbinReff ; @LeonardNevarez ; @MakeItInMusic. I followed them because they know a lot  about  Urban R&B, like per example informations about the vocals, the particularity of an Urban R&B beat,  the best Urban R&B singers and the difference between R&B and Urban R&B. They all relate to my genius hour project because my topic is about music. Some of them responded to my questions. @MusicalUrbanism suggested me a book about music “Top 40 Democracy, The rival mainstreams of American music” (Eric Weisbard). That book is helpful to me because it explains why Urban R&B and R&B are different, it’s helpful in my genius hour project because my topic is about Urban R&B. And also because I will have to explain what’s the difference between them.

Out of ten persons only two responded, @MusicalUrbanism and @EDMTutorials_. @MusicalUrbanism response was the most helpful of the two. None of the experts followed me back apart the one who already followed me before the twitter experts connection project. None of them offered more help, so I didn’t continue the conversations, beside that their answers to my question were not the kind of answer that create a conversation. I think I might use that way of find informations in the future for school projects that implies extremely good research, like in science class or social studies.
