Communication Technologies!
Part 1:
b) Our lives are continuously changing over time as
technology makes further developments. We were asked this week to find a video
of our choice that relates to Communication Technologies in one way or another.
I found this clip regarding technology and how it has helped
sufferers of autism to communicate to be quite incredible as it is a terrific
example of just one of the many ways that technology has benefited us
significantly. Technology has improved the quality of everyday life for those
with autism and has given them many opportunities that they otherwise would not
have had, such as the ability to enter into the workforce.
The reason why I chose this clip is because I believe that a
number of people in todays day and age take technology for granted and overlook
the real benefits that it has provided to us apart from your everyday social
networking site.
Here is the link to the youtube clip:
c) This week in Communication Technologies we were asked to find
an application that we use to analyse an aspect of the web more
effectively. For me, I would have to say
that the ‘Commbiz’ app has benefited me significantly as it allows me to access
my online banking anytime and anywhere without having to lug my laptop around
with me everywhere I go.
The role that Communication Technologies has plays in my life!
Part 2:
Communication technologies, has enriched us with the ability
to communicate with both friends and family at the click of a button all in a
matter of seconds. Personally, I make use out of a number of social networking
sites including my phone, facebook, skype, instagram and tumblr. I have been
using communication technologies for a number of years now, which is, I would
say, a choice that has been heavily influenced by friends and over all, todays
society.
Facebook, which I have had for around four years now and use
quite frequently, not only grants me with the opportunity to chat with friends,
however, it involves many other advantages including the ability to organise
group events. Skype, which I also use from time to time, is a great way to
catch up with others as it enables me to video chat my friends living in other
states. In contrast, tumblr, which I have been using for two years now, is more
of a leisure activity for me to kill spare time.
Privacy is something that I take seriously and for this
reason I don’t feel incredibly comfortable sharing a great deal of my personal
information online, however, I do believe that anyone who creates a site such
as facebook, are entering into another world at their own risk and should be
aware of its dangers. I personally feel much more comfortable meeting face to
face before any further contact rather than introducing myself to someone for
the first time over the internet.
In conclusion to the above, I believe my friends have
predominantly influenced the choices that I have made regarding communication
technologies.
