2014 Mark Tiner Foundation Scholarship

2014 Mark Tiner Foundation Scholarship Recipient

Some of you may not know, but my brother, Mark Tiner passed away 10 years ago. Shortly after he passed away, I organized some fundraisers to help create memorial scholarships in his honor. Each year a memorial scholarship and volleyball spirit award is awarded at Laguna Beach High School in his honor.

Additionally, since 2006 a financial needs scholarship is awarded to a graduating high school senior from Orange County, CA. It’s a rewarding and bittersweet way to pay it forward and continue Mark’s name.

Last month, My fiance and I presented the financial needs scholarship to a graduating high school senior from Savanna High School in Anaheim.

Paying it forward and treating each day as a gift is one of the biggest lessons that I've learned from it all.

( Generation Y's Web 2.0 Hierarchy of Communication Model (C) Tiner ) "Did you get my text message?" "How about my email?" ..."Why didn't you respond to my facebook message?" "...She opened my B2B message, but she did not respond. :( " "Simply put, we live in an era of hyper connectivity. From aim, facebook messaging, text messaging and emailing, digital communication and Web 2.0 media continually erode traditional barriers of communication. It's difficult at times to comprehend the speed at which our thoughts and actions are communicated to our peers. Entire conversations are digitally transmitted for convenience, but at the sacrifice of personal connection. (I really doubt our predecessors sent entire conversations continually back and forth via the Morse Code.) Inspired by Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Model , I created a Web 2.0 version that prioritizes the level of Generation Y's communication. I believe the highest ...

(Jeremy Bentham's 1785 Panopticon Model, courtesy of Wikipedia). Pleasure, Resistance & Social Control Web 2.0 continues to accelerate and transform the landscape of contemporary communication. Friends are able to stay in touch via social networks. Distances are eroded. Old friends are reunited. Acquaintances become friends. Romances are sparked. ...It's become a personal tabloid for Gen-Y. ...Your uncool if you don't have one and your uncool if you talk about it in the "real world." . ..It would be odd to say that I " poked" you during dinner.

According to Wikipedia, "the concept of the design is to allow an observer to observe (-opticon) all (pan-) prisoners without the prisoners being able to tell whether they are being watched, thereby conveying what one architect has called the 'sentiment of an invisible omniscience.' Bentham himself described ...
