Communication Tech Tute week 3 10-12

Hey everyone,
Instead of raving on about lectures and movies ill be blogging about the tutorial task. My own experiences with communication technology are happening everyday, its all around me. There is television, portable radios, mobile phones and the Internet. Each one of those can do a number of different things. such as a mobile phone now isn't just made for phone calls, it is also a mp3 player, sound recorder, video recorder and a camera. The ever popular Internet is also used for a number of different communication ways. You can search daily news on various search engines, you can contact friends via msn messenger and sites like myspace.com. you can also post video clips on sites such as youtube.com, where many a musician has obtained a record contract through. One of the many ways to utilise the site.

I said earlier that i used different types of communication technology everyday. Here's just a day in my life and the different types i use:

• Get up and watch the news on television
• Check my email on the Internet
• Get the traffic report on my car radio
• Talk/sms my friends/family on my mobile
• Ill also talk to friends/family on the site myspace.com via the Internet

I confess, i am an Internet addict! Ever since i was about 15 Ive also be on chat room sites. i enjoy talking to different people all around the world. There are some people i have been speaking to for years and yet i have not met them because of the distance. Other people on my msn list i have met.

I was influenced to start using these technologies because when i was younger i lived on Springbrook Mountain (yes it got very boring). When my parents finally got the Internet all i pretty much wanted to do was chat to other people and look up things i was interested in. I was always interested in various cars and was never close to a library so Google.com became an excellent way to learn more about my interests. I actually ended up buying my car on carsales.com.

In conclusion if it weren't for communication technology the world wouldn't be what it is today. the things we take for granted wouldn't be as easy and convenient as they are today. Information would be alot harder to come by, news would take longer to get around and communication to family and friends would take longer.
