Week 1-Lecture summary

So this week's lecture i found to be quite enjoyable. It was an introduction to new communication and technology, which comes as to no surprise seeing as this is what the course is all about! Now i could definately say that this lecture i CAN relate to.

See how many of the following you can relate to:
Facebook
Twitter
Sms-text messaging
Internet
Youtube
Television
Multi-media

I'm sure most of you ticked at least half of the above. Well i can say that i can relate to ALL and many more. The vast range of new communication technologies are quikly increasing and this means that people are able to stay in touch with one another more often and are up to date with the latest news and media coverage. Without the presence of media and the advanced communication methods today, the gap between the
speaker and the listener would be great and it would take much longer for the message to be conveyed across to the other side. Communication in my words is basically the process of transfering information from one source to another. It could be through newspapers, Television, internet, mobile phones or simply from mouth to mouth. As incredible as this might sound, there is always room for error and a breakdown in communication can lead to a misunderstanding, confusion or a disaster in a worst case scenario.

Overall i found this week's topic interesting and i learnt some facts which i never knew until now, which proves that you learn something new everyday!
