This may easily be one of my favorite examples of autobotography. The creator takes a collection of all of the amazing places in the world that he has encountered in his life, and from it, creates a very fun and honestly awe-inspiring video. He is able to show all of the incredibly beautiful and unique places that we have on our planet. He was able to even evoke a bit of remorse out me, as I wonder why I don’t have the opportunity to see all of these things, and experience life to the level that Matt has.

This is a famous viral video that is most definitely an example of autobotography. The creator, “Noah” dedicates six years of his life to record the transformation that we go through as humans. It is definitely in the sense of autobotography, as he has created it himself, and shows the changes he himself undergoes throughout these six years.

One of the best examples of hactivism, at least in our current time is that of the Occupy Movement. Occupy is hactivism because it breaks into the open and speaks the word of how the world should be working. They go out into public places, and do not inflict any harm, rather they celebrate being in a society work to change the world, so that we may see how real human interaction and human life were meant to work.

Anonymous is a secretive hactivism group that is widely known for hacking into some of the most secure systems in the world, and fighting back, as the say, for the people. This video relates to the negative feedback Anonymous received after they shut down the PlayStation Network due to processes Sony did with the Network that many believe to be unnecessary, such as storing IP Addresses of users. Anonymous held control over the PlayStation Network for several weeks, as a means to severely hurt the income of Sony, but as you can see, some do not agree with the reaches Anonymous will make to fight for the people.
