Part B) This video is simply called 'communication'. I chose it because: 1) I thought it was simple yet effective advertising for the cellphone company that made it and 2) It is trying to depict how far communication mediums have come since the very first inhabitants and how easy it is to use that particular companys cellphone network.
It is of an aboriginal man who is trying to communicate with his friend some distance away through a traditional aboriginal medium of travelling sound created by swinging a long piece of material with a hard object inside the end. While he is attempting to do this it goes awfully wrong! His wife, who is minding her own business, having a bath by the creek, is hit by his flying object and knocked out! Clearly NOT what her husband set out to do.
A bit of a laugh anyway.
Part C) For another one of my subjects this semester we were required to produce a website (one page only though) with an artwork that we created BUT only using HTML/CSS codes. This proved fairly difficult in the beginning until after a few days of researching html tutorials, I found a website called www.w3schools.com.
I actually learnt a lot of coding tricks from this excellent site. They had a fantastic tool on there which allows you not only to be shown how to do all types of basic and advanced html coding but also has a split screen, so when you look at a code, and then want to make any variations to it to see which code does what, at the click of a button you can see what your 'webpage' will look like! Fabulous I thought.
I give this website application a 9.5 out of 10!
Part 2) How I use new communication technologies to communicate with friends and family:
Q:How long have you been using these communication technologies?
A: I have been using new communication technologies more so since the days of My Space. The main mediums of technology that I use currently are Facebook, email, MMS and text messaging. I occasionally use Skype to communicate with a relative in the USA also.
Q:What influenced you to start using these particular technologies?
A: Hearing from friends how good it was, so I thought I'd check it out and have been hooked since.
I first started using text messaging back when I was in 14 in high-school, I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, to be able to communicate with my friends through a medium other than in person or speaking over the phone. This would enable me to be able to text in class, and for only the cost of twenty cents per message!
Q:How did you find out about them?
A:Through my circle of friends/family members.
Q:Is privacy an issue for you when using new technologies?
A: It definitely is an issue, I am now in the habit of checking my privacy settings on a regular basis. I always have a feeling of 'what if' in the back of my mind as well when posting things online, ensuring I don't allow too much personal information to be accessed by complete strangers.
Q:What do you think of companies like Facebook and Google who collect information about their users? (How do you deal with issues around privacy?)
A: Answered in question above.
Q: Do you have friends whom you know only from the internet and have never met in person? Is this different to people that you know in person? Describe the difference.
A: No but my dad now has a fiance' from which he met via a dating site online a couple of years ago. He couldn't be any happier now.
