This is what we face.
A future where, within hours of ANY major news event, people with PhotoShop FLOOD the internet with faked photos of said event.
Can we believe our eyes anymore?
How do we know that the latest picture someone posted on FaceBook is what actually happened?
CHECK this link OUT!!!
Are any of these BELIEVABLE or CONVINCING?
Can you see any problems with people taking this type of action?
Can you see any BENEFIT resulting from people doing this???

Some of these pictures are convincing. Most of them aren't though. The statue of liberty looks real and the cat and the snowman one looks fake. There's not really any benefit to doing this...
S. Matheson Period. 1
I guess some are but not all of them. The problem would be people would think those pictures are real and probably get scared. I don't think there's a benefit unless it's like a assignment but it should not be led out to the public.
S.Quintanilla. Per.1
The second picture, of the hurricane over the Statue of Liberty, is the most believable one on that page. It makes things seem a lot scarier, people will panic and overreact for something that isn't as bad as it seems. The only benefit is people will take better precautions and be more prepared for a bad storm.
T. Losness, Period 1
The picture from "The Day After Tomorrow" is the most believable image I saw there. The problem with taking that type of action, is that it doesn't allow people to be creative, or allow them to think about whether or not the image happens. The benefit I see, is that it prevents people from having a misunderstanding about the image.
J.Richardson P.1
I thought there was a few pictures that were believable. I don't see any problem with people taking this kind of action. I don't think this is a benefit because I don't see a point to this.
B. Watson Period:1
Some are believable. There are tons of problems with people doing this- i mean, yeah it's cool to know that something you did was so well done that people actually thought that your picture was showing off a real occurrence, but seriously. There are too many paranoid people. Too many ignorant people, even, for this to be beneficial at all.
A Gonzalez P1
Well the storm in New York, and the wave hitting the statue of liberty seems pretty real to me. And when people take this type of action can trick people into thinking its real and could scare people.
Before I took this class I believed a lot of photos and would ask myself if it wasn't how would they do that, but now I know and I don't know what pictures to believe. Then with this you can get a benefit from, yeah I have no idea.
V. Smith P.1
The first couple looked like they could actually be real and then they started to add in cats and random weird things. But the real ones could be used cause they look so real. I don't see a benefit of it.

There's a lot i think that are real but i know there fake like the one of the city with water going through it. Or the Statue of Liberty with the dark cloud around it i would think it was real because it was intense. So many photos on this could be real because some of them got me.
H.Cooper Per.1
yes a few of these are very convincing and believable. yes i can see problems in this type of action, and no I do not see any good resulting from people doing this.
-S. McQuown Period 1st
it is hard to believe photos, because you can photo-shop almost anything. Some photos we see are actually convincing. the huge problem with this epidemic is creating fake history in a sense, because in the future how will they know if the photo was real or not? they might not , and then they might think that it actually happened. there isn't any benefits i can really see right now.
A.Johnson P.1
We really cant believe our eyes anymore because people are getting so good at making these photoshopped pictures look as real as they can be. Well the photo experts can point of the fake ones, and the real ones. I don't see a problem with it because I think its funny that some people believe them. The benefit is making people look like complete idiots.
T.Horne P.1
i think pictures like this can really confuse some people. i saw one of those on Facebook or something and i totally believed it. i think its kinda scary that peoples minds can be tricked so easily.
T.Hess P.1
Some of them are believable. I can see pictures like this getting people in trouble. The story could seem more interesting like this.
A Haunschild Per. 1
Yes, some of these pictures could be taken as real. It is scary that we cant even believe what is being shown to us. Doing this could be good for Halloween or something when your trying to scare someone, or if your trying to create a story but not for real life things.
c.brewer p.1
None of these photos look real. The problem that these photos bring is that they could make the whole situation look worse than it actually is. The only benefit I see would be to raise awareness.
M Silva P. 1
The most convincing photo in this series is of all the buildings with water going between them. People can really scare others with fake photos. Also it could help send aid to people in need.
J.Martin per.1
The live cam the day after tomorrow looks pretty real. Yes and no. Probably panics people or scares them. And some are convincing because are logic makes us think so
e.berry p.1
I think that the one posted in this blog was actually pretty convincing, but none of the other photos were convincing to me. When people take this kind of action with natural disasters it can create fear in people that might believe the photograph. Honestly, i don't see much of a benefit from people doing this with photos except to maybe get a laugh from someone.
M.Christensen p.1
I think the only one that looked convincing was the storm over the statue of liberty. I think a problem is that the public could think those photos are real and then get really scared. I don't see any benefit with them.
A.Champ P.1.
The first couple looked like they're real and then they started to add in random things. But the real photos could be used cause they look real. I don't see any good of it.
G.Taylor P.1
The day after tomorrow picture is the best convincing one. The problem with doing this is it could send people into a panic and could make them try to leave and get out of there as quick as they can. People could be benefiting from this by taking stuff that is given to them to help out they flooded area.
A.Deeds P.1
The big wave going through the town is kind of convincing, but I don't think any of them are really believable. People taking this type of action would have to be really close to dangerous situations and it would hard to be there for a lot of them or be so close. From people doing this, if the picture is real, then we can actually see what the storm was like or the damage it's leaving.
I think some of these photos could be believable! The problem with people taking these types of pictures is that they could really freak people out. Like people with family members that live in New York! People posting fake pictures like that should really find something better to do...
J. Smothers, per: 1
The first couple really looked real! But the rest were not very realistic. The one that was posted on the blog was very convining, it was cool.
E.Zitzelberger P.1
i thought that the photo of the godzilla coming out of the surf was soo funny. some of the photos were pretty good, and others were so unrealistic. hurricane sandy is a bad, bad thing that happened.
J. Benjamin P.3
I don't really see a problem with taking pictures like these. Most are just ment to be funny and not take it too seriously. People just can't take a joke and get way to offended, even if the photo is obviously fake.
M McClure P.2
None of these are really in any way believable. This could be a problem because for people who maybe aren't very bright could get really worried if they saw pictures like these. There is no benefit from these photos.
K. Nagel P.2
To me none of them are believable. The only problem, like others have said before me, is people actually believing in the picture. I see absolutely no benefit from doing this.
A.Herberger P.2
There are many problems with this kind of photoshopping because it can send people into a panic. Everyday it gets harder to believe our eyes because better and better graphics or electronics are made. Some of these are pretty good and look real, but most of them look really fake. Nikole kruger prd 2
I think none of them are convincing. Some problems are when people put things like cats in the pictures. That is ridiculous, no one will ever believe them. one benefit would be that if people actually do believe it, then they will probably try their best to help out who ever is being affected with the hurricane.
G. Williams P.2
The only picture that is convincing is the statue of liberty one with the hurricane above, when I first saw it a few days before this project I thought it was real. A problem with those photos is some people may think there is an actual issue. A benefit of the others is people may open up their eyes better to serious issues.
D.Jansen P.2
A couple are convincing, but everything else you can tell is fake. People could really scare others by posting this. And could get in trouble for false imaging. I don't see any benefits from posting these.
K.Morello P.2
Not a lot of them are convincing considering the lighting changes and other items in the pictures. Someone who had a ton of time on their hands would probably be able to make a convincing one. The only good thing to come out of this is hope some people overreact and actually prepare for the storm.
J Meier
Per 2
These pictures look interesting. I can tell they are obviously fake, yet the idea is still pretty cool. This is really annoying because it is going to be hard to distinguish real pictures from all the fake Photoshopped pictures.
I thought that I cant believe photos anymore. I don't think that any were convincing photos. I think that it wont benefit people doing this.
A.Willis P.2
I think they all look fake. I think it's kinda insulting to see people make fake photos about serious events where people lose their homes and lives. No I don't see any benefit.
A.Thomson P.2
These pictures look interesting. I can tell they are obviously fake, yet the idea is still pretty cool. This is really annoying because it is going to be hard to distinguish real pictures from all the fake Photoshopped pictures.
B Ennis P.2
A couple of the pictures look convincing and believable. But most of them are fake and probably just to make people scared. I dont think there is any benefit for taking these pictures and making them look like this.
T.Fryett P.2
I think all of the photos are fake. Its kinda sad that people would photoshop photos like this. It just makes people worry about things. I think they are photoshopping photos just for fun.
T.Beard Per.2
These photos look so real. I know they are not, but with the hurricane sandy that happened it helps make the pictures more believable. People are just making fake news.
T. Fischer Period:2
Some of these are convincing and a lot of them arent. I dont really think that there is a benefit to this. The cat and snowman ones are just stupid.
Most of these pictures look extremely fake but some look kinda real. I think that taking pictures like this cause a lot of problems. They can really scare people. But some people want the attention and to get people freaked out.
S. Lovell
P. 2
Honestly probably not. Some of them look pretty realistic. I can see problems with these pictures because it could scare people. I cannot see any benefit in people doing this.
M. Melhus P. 2
Some of these pictures are super convincing. The only benefit I see from making these pictures is the get attention or wanting to be funny. The problems of these pictures is that the pictures can cause panic.
K.Seibold P.2
If their going to photoshop that, make it look real... it looks like scenes from 2012 movie. Its a annoying in a way because we may not know some truths from reality. Because so many photoshopped photos look so realistic it can be scary.
A.Lindberg p.2
I don't really think any go them are convincing. I can see problems because people will start to not believe anything they see. A benefit would be it would be something interesting to look at.
A.Boland P.2
Probably not. Ehh, some are. But since i know they're photo shop i kinda already know they aren't real. The problem with pictures like that is that they can scare people into convincing them that the storm is worse than it actually is.
M.Preston P.2
Most of them look really conviencing and look real, but i know that they arent. Yes cause people that dont know how good people are at photoshop will believe into these pictures. And there are some benifits!
Some are pretty close to being convincing but the ones that are the most are the ones from movies scenes but yes some actually are pretty convincing. the problem with people photo shopping some things in this disaster during the storm and people are going through it is that they might see photos that are more worse than what is actually happening so the residence going through the storm would start to panic. A benefit could be that the pictures are sharing a new perspective of the storm.
M.Whitman p-2
The only problems with people editing pics of natural disasters is that some of them are very convincing and can make stuff look/ seem worse then they really are. Another downside is that people who want to publish actual pics of the disaster can't sort out whats fake and whats real.The only benefit i see from these is comedy from the clearly fake n fun edited pics.
~C. West Period 2
I think some of these look pretty believable. But the one from The Day After Tomorrow is kind of obviously not real. But I guess it could be. The one with the puff man, jaws. some space crafts, and a dinosaur is clearly fake.
R. Drake Period 3
None of these photos are believable to me. Some problems would be that when people edit them, they make the photo look way worse then what it really is. A benefit could be comedy from the fake photos that look ridiculous.
M Cordill. Per 3.
Yes some of them are convincing and some of them are not. Yes I do because a lot of people will believe them. No i cant.
S.Snyder P.3
The one with the wave hitting the statue of liberty looks pretty real. Some people could take these seriously and start to freak out and bad things could happen. I don't think there is a benefit from tricking people.
B. Leonetti Per 3
There are a few convincing pictures in here. One of the more convincing one is the Statue of Liberty one. The problems I see with this are just people showing and telling fake information about disasters.
B. Comiskey P.3
I think a lot of them are pretty convincing! I can see a lot of problems that could happen from this, and i guess some benefits too.
S. Kutsch
Per. 3
some of these photos are convincing, the problem is because it could affect people they can beleive it and changes their plans.
N,Vega P3
i think some of these photos are very believable. i could see people getting freaked out over these pictures and start panicking. i don't think theirs any benefit in these pictures at all.
B.Nowland p.3
I think the closest picture to being convincing is the very first one with the Statue of Liberty. When people take that type of action, it affects people's lives and the choices they do so that can create lots of problems. I don't see any benefit of photoshopping photos.
R.Simmons
Period 3
Some of the pictures look realistic but some look totally fake. LIke some of the clouds over the city and there also looks like a tornado in the middle of it... I could come up with something better!
T.Munoz per.3
Some of them are belivible out of the few. The ones with the cats and sharks are so dumb. I don't see any benefits from these pictures.
E.Wymore Period 3
The picture with the shark in the water was convincing. People doing these fake photo's can scare people in the real sandy. Yeah your photo can go viral and make you famous for a little.
D.Podloujnyi Per.3
It's sad to see that some people do this. Like you said, it has an affect on the people who live in the area. A lot of them are believable which is the scary part, but some of them are obviously photoshopped. I don't see any benefit other than trying to get famous or attention for being in such a horrible spot and getting a great picture.
J. Gallagher Per.3
Some are convincing. I can absolutely see some problems with these pictures because some people would actually believe what they see and they would get scared. I don't think there are any benefits in these pictured.
S.Orozco P.3
Some of these photos are slightly convincing. Most of them are pretty easily faked. I dont think there is any benefit in these faked pictures.
K.Kruger Per.3
Yes some of them are like the shark ones are kind of believable. Yes because the people that do believe it will be scared to come in the water to safety. If there are really sharks in the water that people can't see then that picture will safe there life.
A.Stumbaugh P.3
Some of them are actually believable, but most of them you can tell are put through photoshop. This could cause problems for people not believing whats actually not real, causing more harm to them than it should. And i dont see any benefit in doing this to the pictures, because now we dont know whats real and whats not.
L.Katzberg Period 3
All of them look really believable. The shark ones look a little odd to me. Also some of the pictures are lit in a weird way.
S Jost Per 3
I thought the one with the waves crashing on the statue of liberty was real. When it comes to pictures now I don't believe them really anymore. I can see that they can cause problems like being scared to go outside etc. The only benefit I can see is some laughter out of some funny pictures.
R.Jacobs P.3
We can believe our eyes but i think we have to be really careful about what we chose to believe.Some of these pictures do look pretty convincing i have to admit. I can't see anybody facing problems or receiving benefits from doing this.
J.Rosales
p.1
Some of these are convincing and a lot of them arent. I dont really think that there is a benefit to this. The cat and snowman ones are just stupid.
