        &lt;b&gt;My video explores the spiritual aspect of digital technology and how rather than getting in the way of our spiritual expression, it is actually bringing us face to face with it, if only we choose to look.&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-align: left;"&gt;Our perceptions create our reality and technology is an extension of our perception. "With No Distinction" explores the spiritual aspect of digital technology and how rather than getting in the way of our spiritual potential it is bringing us face to face with it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video Genre&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;dl&gt;&lt;dd&gt;Stopmation and live footage
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Interview&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you understand by the term Digital Native? Do you consider yourself one?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A “native” is somebody who has a love for a place and whose heart &amp;amp; soul are connected to that place. To me a “digital native” is &lt;strong&gt;anyone&lt;/strong&gt; who has a place inside of them where technology grows and nurtures their soul.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is a perception that digital natives occupy certain demography, namely, the Young, White, Male, American who are often apathetic to social causes. Do you agree?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think often digital technology is used superficially to augment and support the ego.  Anyone belonging to any demographic can fall victim to this shallow use of technology, just as anyone can become a true digital native using technology to transcend the limitations of their ego.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can digital natives from developing nations create an impact with digital activism?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Absolutely, digital technology has a very unique ability to be utilized by anyone in the world with a creative ability to apply it to achieve their goals. I personally use digital technology to discover and support causes that I would not ordinarily be informed about from other media. This allows me to direct my energies where I choose and not have those choices made for me by media companies and governments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ground activism has changed in the last decade. How effective are digital campaigns in raising awareness about an issue?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe digital technology is most effective when it is partnered with real world street activism and gatherings of people face to face. On its own digital technology is profoundly effective at creating awareness about issues but that alone is not enough to effect lasting changes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Critics refer to digital natives with the pejorative term ‘slacktivist’. You agree?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first and most important step to any campaign for any cause is in the minds of the people.  “Likes, Clicks and Shares” are a valuable step towards reaching people who gather their opinions and determine their actions through digital technology.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A recent example of online activism is the ‘Get Kony 2012’ video campaign. Have you watched it?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, it’s an incredibly powerful and imaginative work for a very worthwhile cause.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are we seeing a trend where digital natives are more involved with local (neighborhood) causes than with global issues?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything is connected. One person making a personal choice on an issue in their daily life has as much importance as the largest global campaign. The small personal gestures lead to local gestures which in turn lead to global gestures, there is NO DISTINCTION.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Share your thoughts on ICT-led Citizen Action. Where do you see it headed?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The more we creatively embrace the “new” of any kind, technological or otherwise, and apply our imagination with our deepest Love, the more our world will resemble that Love.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Video Proposal&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is shortage of water in the area I am living in&lt;em&gt;. &lt;/em&gt;But there is one farmer who has abundant access to water. He dug up 27 meters under the earth, hoping as he said, "either to find gold, water or oil". It is a somehow funny statement but the farmer managed to get water at last. I think the story could teach other people in my country (who have lost hope) to concentrate on what they want to achieve something better. Through digital media, I want to reach other people and instil hope in them. My video is a tool for outreach.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/dl&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Video Proposal&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have a small production company in Birmingham, Alabama. I was hired  on a year ago to do film and commercials for them as they expand into  advertising and video coverage of events. We only have about three employees  including myself, working out of our homes. We recently acquired a  space to open a studio and retail location downtown where we live. We  use Facebook, blogs, and viral marketing all the time to get our name  out there. Our account executive is constantly monitoring our Facebook  for client orders and bookings. We are beginning to use twitter to  provide information more fluidly to people. We believe this might be a  year of growth for our small company, as we are able to provide better quality content. We're fully digital, constantly updating  our websites and blogs, and I believe we would be able to tell a great  digital story. We submit numerous small films and skits, we cover  awesome concerts, and rely so heavily on the digital world to show our  content. This will be the gist of our video.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/dl&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="kssattr-atfieldname-text kssattr-templateId-widgets/rich kssattr-macro-rich-field-view"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Interview&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you understand by the term Digital Native? Do you consider yourself one?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The term digital native, I understand, is any person living a lifestyle dominated by technology. It is a facet in their day to day lives and a staple in &lt;br /&gt;their structure and organization. I do consider myself a digital native; I spend more time a day dealing with technology than not. I don't think your background could have anything to do with someone's status as a digital native, unless their location and situation would keep them from accessing it. But the beauty of the internet and our way of life is that the world is much smaller today. Our window to the world is becoming a doorway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is a perception that a digital native is typical of a young, American geek who’s plugged in to his devices 24x7 and apathetic to social causes. You agree?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I agree that this perception exists. Most people's first thought about my country (U.S.) when you think of a techie or a social media addict is a hipster in a coffee shop with an indie band and a hemp beanie. But this is only in my country; I see people of all cultures and creeds flourishing with technology all the time, involved with causes and doing their bit for society, whether they come from America or other countries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can digital natives from developing nations create an impact with digital activism?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Absolutely! Take the Kony 2012 campaign. Although it ended badly for the director, it caused a major buzz in less than a week. It's only a matter of time before pop culture takes a hold of it and we see it in major media like sitcoms and cartoons. I try to stay involved with film making endeavors going on around my town through Facebook and Twitter. I did a digital ad for "Operation Warm", a charity that provides coats to children in need.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Activism has changed in the last decade. How effective are online campaigns in raising awareness about an issue vis-à-vis onsite deployment?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think it's much more effective than it was five years ago, and seems to still be growing, especially where the younger generation is involved. The only drawback to the effectiveness of digital activism is that it discourages educating yourself about an issue in its entirety. Once again, take Kony2012, so many people took it at face value. But it raised ire with many due to the Foundation's shaky background and vague details. It's easy to get your message to the masses, but it's also easy to not see the whole picture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are digital natives taking the easy way out by what critics say is ‘slacktivism’: tweeting, linking and liking about grave social issues?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, yes I think so. Some get so wrapped up in "getting their message out" that they don't remember to ACT. You'll affect more lives out there on the street, than you ever will behind a computer. You have to find balance in the two.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A recent example of digital native activism is the Get Kony video campaign. What are your thoughts on the criticism it received?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I honestly thought the video was well edited and shot, and delivered a message strongly. But further digging led to details that were not so noble about the Invisible Children’s organization; the possibility that Joseph Kony has not been heard from in years and may be dead. It's just important to step back and say, "Okay, they seem to have a strong argument here, but what if..."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are we seeing a trend where digital natives are more involved with local causes than with global issues?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's just easier for most people to tackle things close to home, and that's okay. Imagine if EVERYONE focused on their own community and well being, everyone would be better off. That's no reason to try and help someone who's far away, but you can do more good in person than you can do over the internet. It's good to incorporate it into your strategy, but remember it's you actions that count.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your thoughts on Citizen Action and the use of ICT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think we're going through a transition, people are learning more and more through the internet, and have access to such powerful tools. It's going to be a renaissance of knowledge and creativity. I have learned more technical details for my trade off the internet in a year, than I have during my time in school. It's an exciting time to be alive.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Video Proposal&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The video is about a group of kids with different kinds of disabilities (blind, hearing impaired, physical disabilities) wanting a fun day of learning and exploration at their neighborhood Natural
 History Museum. The group of 6-year-olds and some older kids have heard that it''s a cool place to
 check out first-hand several aspects of nature, biology, physics, evolution, history and culture. However, once they step inside 
the museum's premises, they realize that soaking up "learning" isn't as 
easy or fun as it seemed. The video narrative will demonstrate how the kids 
solve the problem of "access" to the museum's collection, with a little help from digital technology.&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;dl&gt;&lt;dt&gt;Video Genre&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;Animation&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;dl&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Video Proposal&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My video proposal would be centered on my involvement in the  electronic music scene. Over the last couple of years I have gained a  large following across numerous platforms, including YouTube and  Facebook, that puts me as one of the top promoters of this genre. I am  an admin on several Facebook pages that total around 200,000 fans. I am a  very influential in the music links I post and help shape this music  scene to what it is. My video will revolve around this aspect of  networking online.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Video Genre&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Documentary&lt;/div&gt;

        &lt;b&gt;Through this video we want to explore how Internet, broadly, can be used to circumvent offline censorship. The idea is to explore how social networking sites could be sites of ‘agency’ for digital natives.&lt;/b&gt;
        
&lt;p&gt;Video Genre: Video and graphics&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt; Sandeep &amp;amp; Aakriti &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="http://editors.cis-india.org/home-images/aakriti.jpg/image_preview" alt="Aakriti" class="image-inline image-inline" title="Aakriti" /&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dt&gt;Location&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;Mumbai, India&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dt&gt;Age&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;23&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dt&gt;Profession&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;MA Student of Media &amp;amp; Cultural Studies at Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai&lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Objective: we feel strongly towards making a case for 'free and fearless speech' and making a case against censorious minds and the practice of censorship. Rationale: The issue of censorship is an important concern for us. In order to be a mature democracy that India aspires to be, we need reform, not only in the archaic and colonial law, but also in its reading, and the mindset which aims to nip in the bud any dissent. If we let the repressive state elements take root it will not leave room for any negotiation through ruptures, which may offer resistance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bio&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sandeep &amp;amp; Aakriti are students of MA Media &amp;amp; Cultural Studies, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Interview&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you understand by the term Digital Native? Do you consider yourself one?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Digital native means a person who understands the latest digital technologies as well as digital medium and uses the same for improvement of humanity’s plight and in this respect I consider myself a digital native.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is a perception that a digital natives typically belong to a certain socio-economic-geographical background: a geek who’s always connected to his gadgets and not concerned about social issues and causes. Do you agree?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I disagree. Anyone can be a digital native as long as they use the latest digital technologies and digital interfaces for improvement of socio-economic conditions of people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can digital natives from developing nations create an impact with digital activism? Are you involved in a cause that relies on online campaigns?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been involved in local and global campaigns for a Twestival. Last year we raised more than 1,70,000 INR through social media. Youth from developing nations are creating national-level impact by using social media tools to solve problems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How effective are digital campaigns in raising awareness about an issue in comparison to traditional activism?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Digital campaigns are so powerful that it can even bring down governments. The dictator in Egypt was brought down through the power of digital activism. Similar campaigns took place in Tunisia, Libya, Syria, London, San Francisco, Russia and India to bring global attention to the plight of the people of these countries, corruption, scandals and other issues. The one in India (campaign) against corruption (Anna Hazare-initiated) was not successful but it made the Government realize the power of digital activism campaigns.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What would you say to critics who label digital native campaigns as slacktivism?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I disagree with them. Digital natives are creating unique ways to reach out to the common man and highlighting issues that digital activism can help solve. Likes, clicks and shares are ways of showing the protest through digital medium. This doesn’t stop us from going out in public to stand for our rights.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are we seeing a trend where digital natives are more involved with local causes? How do strategies differ for both?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, digital natives are always aware of global issues like global warming, financial crisis, poverty, blood donation, etc., but we need to begin from ourselves, then resolve the issues in our society and country then move on to the global scenario. We approach local causes and global ones differently. It is easy to build a local campaign as the person is aware about the response of the people. The same analysis is not possible when it comes to a global audience. It is highly important that we build a campaign that goes viral.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;b&gt;The idea behind the video is to reflect the fact of utter poverty. The video has been recorded in a village (Bhit Majao Kuanv) of Balochistan and shows how poor people deal with the onerous task of grinding grain without the right implements or machine. Several other “ordinary” tasks such as storing drinking water, travelling or giving birth to a child all take on a life or death situation in this remote village. &lt;/b&gt;

utter poverty. The video has been recorded in a village (Bhit Majao Kuanv) of Balochistan
and shows how poor people deal with the onerous task of grinding grain without
the right implements or machine. Several other “ordinary” tasks such as storing
drinking water, travelling or giving birth to a child all take on a life or
death situation in this remote village. The video is aimed at raising awareness
about the UN’s Millennium Development Goals and is directed at advocates who
work for the cause of human rights.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;dl&gt;&lt;dt&gt;Name(s)&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;E.James Rajasekaran&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dt&gt;Location&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dt&gt;Age&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;53&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dt&gt;Profession&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;Social Worker&lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Video Proposal&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I live in the temple town of Madurai in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu. I am a social worker and the plight of people living in slums is somethings that my NGO is closely associated with. My video will bring out the efforts of the people who live in the slums of Madurai.&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;dl&gt;&lt;dt&gt;Video Genre&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;Documentary&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Interview&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you understand by the term Digital Native?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The term Digital Native is meant for users of digital equipment. Nowadays, even the common man utilizes digital devices in his daily life. &lt;br /&gt;In this sense, I consider myself a digital native.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is a perception that the digital native is typically a Young, White, Male from the Global North (America), plugged in to his &lt;br /&gt;gadgets and apathetic to causes. Would you agree?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cannot agree with this perception. People who are connected to gadgets have their own concerns on issues around them and if there is a chance to participate, the youngsters will participate. That’s how we saw the youth participate in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Indian_anti-corruption_movement"&gt;Anna Hazare&lt;/a&gt;’s campaign against corruption in India.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Activism has changed in the last decade. Hunger strikes and sloganeering are exceptions to the rule. How effective are digital activism campaigns in raising awareness about an issue?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don’t think activism has changed all that much as we still march on the streets holding placards and utilize hunger strikes effectively to protest. Of course, digital activism campaigns can be a supportive mechanism in our protest to mobilize mass support.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are digital natives taking the easy way out with what critics refer to as ‘clicktivism’?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sharing online is used as a tool for mobilizing mass support. However, it is also important to follow the matter in action on the field.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are we seeing a trend where digital natives are more involved with local causes than with global issues?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would say we are more interested in global issues than local situations. However, an issue always starts at the local level before it turns global. Unless the campaign has local importance it cannot achieve its goal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Comment on the role of ICT in citizen action&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scientific progress has made it possible to use ICT tools for the development of society. It is in our hands to use these tools in a positive way to effect change.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;b&gt;I come from a third world country where technology seemed hard to reach in the 90s, especially by the not-so-privileged. As we progressed, technology has not only become ubiquitous (in malls, institutions and companies) but also, it has come to be used by the common man. My video will answer how technology bridges the gap between dreams and reality.&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Interview&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you understand by the term Digital Native? Do you consider yourself one? Do you think you need to belong to a particular socio-economic-geographical background to be considered a Digital Native?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me, Digital Native means being equipped most of the time with gadgets that we have nowadays. The idea pertains to the usage of these gadgets to alleviate day to day activities or for mere pleasure. I can say that I am a Digital Native because from the moment I wake up, go to work, eat or rest I usually have a gadget in my hand. Being a Digital native doesn’t entail belonging to upper class of the society. In Philippines, most citizens own a cell phone or television. Government and private institutions bring mobile libraries or computers to depressed areas so they can be empowered by technology. One of the primary requirements of being a digital native is not your political, regional, societal or even physical status but instead it requires a level of openness or acceptance to the new technology that’s in your hands. I think the issue is how you plan to utilize this gadget to help yourself in your daily life, and how responsible you are in carrying out their functions for the promotion of the common good which may not be detrimental to others. If you’re an open and responsible user of technology then I think you are worthy to be called a Digital Native.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How effective are digital activism campaigns in raising awareness about an issue?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The online platform is an instrument for freedom of expression. Just like any protests on the street, technology provides a bigger arena to anyone to fight for their rights. But I would also add that though it is good to state what you believe in and what you’re supporting online, we should also be more responsible as users of technology. As long as we still respect others and there are no derogatory statements that may harm others, social media platforms have been useful in many ways.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A recent example of online activism is the ‘Get Kony 2012’ video campaign created by US-based NGO Invisible Children. What are your thoughts on the campaign?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s heart-breaking but at the same time empowering. The video compares life in a developed country with that of a developing one and exposes what is happening in Uganda. It effectively motivates us to do something good, now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are we seeing a trend where digital natives are more involved with local causes than with global, larger issues that don’t immediately impact their lives?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the use of technology empowers everyone from high officials to ordinary individuals to push their cause, stand for their rights and make this world a better place. Any local cause from a community which is posted online is no longer just a local cause but can transform into an issue that has global resonance. Somewhere in the world, other places might be experiencing the very issue that a small community is trying to highlight, so social media platforms help project a local cause into a global one. It makes our world closer so that everyone can lend a helping hand no matter how many miles we are all apart.&lt;/p&gt;

Black and White is a colour combination for the layman,
but intensely they may be used in multiple ways or forms: as signs and symbols,
as animations, decorations, and to convey myths, beliefs, taboos and many other
concepts. Kibera’s slum, in the surburb of Nairobi, Kenya, is the perfect place
to showcase this contrast of extremes and how digital technology is a thread
connecting what I want to convey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

    <description>
        &lt;b&gt;I want to explore the border between the urge to act and the collective irresponsibility created by online media. In initial stages of the spread of digital communication methods, they can empower, and if used smartly, they can create changes even in the more digitalized communities/countries. However, there is a big 'but': collective irresponsibility - the potential for change has in many societies become diffused into pointless social networking, which creates only passive supporters for a cause but does not lead to any positive action. I want to look at the choices we have to make and how we can learn from communities that are not so digitized in order to 'remember' where our power for change lies.&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hi there! I am a 25 year old student from Bulgaria and my video has been
 inspired from all the revolutions happening around us and how their 
success or failure is attributed to Facebook, Twitter, etc. However, I 
have remained very skeptical, even more so when it comes to my country 
and online campaigns - the public has been relying on the Internet as a 
method of self expression but has forgotten how to act. As a result, 
from 10 000 supporters online, only 50 show up for a protest. It is 
inspired by the overall theme of Book 3 of the Digital AlterNatives with
 a Cause (published by Centre for Internet &amp;amp; Society and HIVOS) and 
the essay stories where communities are empowered by technology.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Video Proposals: Top 14</title>
    <link>http://editors.cis-india.org/digital-natives/video-contest/video-proposals</link>
    <description>
        &lt;b&gt;Here are the ideas from our 14 digital native video contest finalists. Videos will soon be online! Voting begins from 10 March.&lt;/b&gt;
        &lt;h3 style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Joseph Francis&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;A young man gets ready to start his day: switching on his cable box, checking his Blackberry, listening to music, and microwaving his food. As he leaves, he turns on his iPod and sends a text message via his cell phone. Waiting for the train, he responds to emails and posts to Facebook. He sends a tweet and then gets to work. All day answering emails and phone calls while staring at a computer screen. Finally he ends his work day only to stare at a digital screen for train arrivals. Inside the train, he once again begins sending messages and tweets. Once he gets to his destination, he is told by an attractive woman to “unplug” and be with her.  The End. Credits roll.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Marie Jude Bendiola&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;I come from a third world country where technology seemed to be hard to reach back in the 90s; especially by the not-so-privileged. As we progressed, technology has not only become ubiquitous (in malls, various institutions and technological hubs) but also, it has come to be used by the common man. My video will answer how technology bridges the gap between dreams and reality. It will be a fusion of documentary and re-enactment of real life events and dramas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Cijo Abraham Mani&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;I want to convey the power of digital media by showcasing the reach of social media with specific examples from a tweet-a-thon panel discussion and #bloodaid tweets.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style="text-align: justify; "&gt;TJ K.M.&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;My video explores the spiritual aspect of digital technology and how rather than getting in the way of our spiritual expression, it is actually bringing us face to face with it, if only we choose to look.  The video will be a mixture of live action and stop motion animation/puppetry where digital devices take on a transcendent character similar to nature spirits in various cultures. I plan to investigate the tendency to exclude digital devices and technology from being categorized alongside nature as if it is somehow exempt from or superior to this category. Using symbolism and motifs from various cultures such as the Native American Hopi, Balinese Hinduism and Japanese Shintoism, my video will create a world where the technology we use daily is viewed not just as a means for socio-cultural exchange and communication but is available for the nurturing of our souls if we so choose.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Mike Hickey&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;My video proposal would be centered on my involvement in the electronic music scene. Over the last couple of years, I have gained a large following across numerous platforms, including YouTube and Facebook that puts me as one of the top promoters of this genre. I am an admin on several Facebook pages that total around 200,000 fans combined. I am a very influential in the music I post and help shape this music scene to what it is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Thomas Burks&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;We have a small production company in Birmingham, Alabama. I was hired on a year ago to do film and commercials for them as they expand into advertising and video coverage of events. We only have about 3 employees including myself, working out of our homes. We recently acquired a space to open a studio and retail location downtown where we live. We use Facebook, blogs, and viral marketing all the time to get our name out there. Our account executive is constantly monitoring our Facebook for client orders and bookings. We are beginning to use twitter to provide information more fluidly to people. We believe this might be a year of growth for our small company, as we are becoming able to provide much higher quality content. We're fully digital; constantly updating our websites and blogs, and I believe we would be able to tell a great digital story. We submit numerous small films and skits; we cover awesome concerts, and rely so heavily on the digital world to show our content. That will be the gist of our video.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Map Kibera Trust is an organization based in Kenya’s Kibera slums. Using digital gadgets and technology, they have transformed the community by placing it on the map as it was only seen as forest when viewed on a map. They also film stories around the community and share them with the world on their YouTube channel and other social networks like Facebook and Twitter. Through this they have been able to highlight and raise awareness about the challenges the community faces. Our video would show Kibera’s role in bringing about change.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;I think many people are digital natives unknowingly. Being a digital native is a relationship with activism and society, not as they initially thought. It was a condition of being born in specific times and external factors. In the video, I will interview people about who and what is a digital native? How to use the Internet? What are the advantages and disadvantages for society where everything is run with the power of the Internet?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Black and White is a colour combination for the layman, but intensely they may be used in multiple ways or forms: as signs and symbols, as animations, decorations, and to convey myths, beliefs, taboos and many other concepts. Kibera’s slum, in the surburb of Nairobi, Kenya, is the perfect place to showcase this contrast of extremes and how digital technology is a thread connecting what I want to convey.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Over a period of nearly four years, moving across small towns in Australia and South East Asia, I have seen the most extraordinary innovations at a local community level. My video will focus on these local stories with global impact. I am pursuing a PhD in participatory media and this will lend a uniquely academic perspective on the concept of collaboration, community life and innovation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;I live in the temple town of Madurai in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu. I am a social worker and the plight of people living in slims is something that my NGO is closely associated with. My video will bring out the efforts of the people who live in the slums of Madurai.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Bangalore is home to a lot of technology start-ups. A lot of geeks, who find it limiting to work for corporations, are driving a very open source-oriented, frugally-built and extremely demanding culture. While their products are standing at the bleeding edge of technology, their personal lives too are constantly driven on the edge, every launch being a make or break day for them. The project would aim at capturing their stories, their frustration and motivation, looking at the possibilities of Indian software scene moving beyond the services and back-end office culture into a more risk prone but more passionate business of technology.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;As a digital native living in a developing country l have carried out a series of both online and offline projects which have always strived to benefit Zimbabweans in a number of ways since 2000. These projects have increased my interactions with computers. I got married to the computer in 2000 when I bought my first PC; in a way, my relationship with a computer is now intimate. Even though this computer I bought was an old 386 machine made obsolete by faster Pentium III models, this did not affect my love for this computer. My video will focus on a dream-waking reality moment of my digital life.&lt;/p&gt;
