About Me

My name is Grace Obletz I am from Buffalo, New York. I am a sophomore here at hpu, majoring in Strat Com. and still working on finding a minor. On campus, I am a member of Kappa Delta and On Point Magazine. Both of which allow a creative and fun outlet outside of my academics.

Post Grad, I am not too sure what I would like to do. I hope to move to Boston and find a job that is fun and modern- not a typical 9-5 type of job. My passions include fashion, entertainment, social media and beauty/health, so hopefully with those interests I can find a job that I am passionate about.

New Technology- Netflix

Like many others, I am big fan of Netflix, but did not know anything about it before doing this project. It was very interesting to learn the history of such a popular and important company. Netflix was founded in 1997 in Scotts Vally, CA by software engineers Reed Hasting and Marc Randolph. The official website launched in 1998.  Netflix originally started as an online rental service where customers could order copies of videos to their house. In 2002, Netflix became a public company getting the attention of more investors and customers. Between 2003 -2005, the company gained more than 3 million subscribers.  Later on in 2007, Netflix introduced its online streaming service so members could watch on their personal computers- this than led to the development of the app which launched in 2010.

The court system then moved to D.C in 1801, to be in the Capitol building. Once in D.C, John Marshel led the first official movement which dealt with a strike of an act of congress being unconstitutional. This case helped make the constitution more effective and fair. Being appointed to serve on the Supreme Court is a challenging but honorary job. In order to serve in the Supreme Court, the President of The United States must appoint the Judge. Although a President serves for 4-8 years, many judges stay in position longer than the President that appointed them. The average time served for a judge is 16 years, but many judges chose to stay longer. Today, 9 judges make up the Supreme Court. On average, they receive about 7,000 cases a year- including protest and a...

EOTO Project- SMITH-MUNDT ACT

The Smith Mundt Act was originally introduced in 1945. Known as the Bloom Bill, the original bill was to allow up and coming technologies like the radio to be permanent and accessible for the public. It also controlled propaganda sent out by the U.S government. However, the bill was denied because it was seen as pro Russian and pro communism. Considering the time frame (cold war),  it is not an unreasonable thought for law makers to have. After working on the bill for a few years, it was passed and signed by President Truman in 1948. Formally becoming a law known as "The U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948". Although there was still some doubt about the new law, Congress made it clear that it needed to cover 6 major things: Tell the truth; explain the motives of the United States; bolster morale and extend hope; give a true and convincing picture of American life, methods, and ideals; combat misrepresentation and distortion; and aggressively interpret ...
