My friend called Internet

As referred to the title above, World Wide Web (WWW) or also known as Internet is the topic that I want to explore more. Well, I think Internet is now the top friends in our friend list. Agree or not, it seem to happen this way. Lost in the trip, use GPS or the maps in the phone. Want to read a book? Just download the e-book. Finding information? Wikipedia is the answer. This is all happen unintentionally, we are used to it and now we are live in the virtual space in the reality world. Is like our body is in the reality life but our mind is all in virtual space.


                     Oppsss!! Is it what you do when you do your assignment?

Welcome to Virtual Life!


                               Let me introduce my friend, Internet.







What is your 1st things you do when you off your alarm and open the eyes? Bathing? Eating? Or press the power button on the computer keyboard? 



Well, I have learn some facts about my friend, which are:


1) Internet has no central authority. 

Which this is mean that everyone in the world are able to access to post, share, or even download the digital materials that they want. No one will ask for permission.

2) Difference rules/ way/ ethic. 

In the internet world, all the information are in code form such as Java script, HTML codes. Even though internet had no the central authority, but it had the law and regulation to control the users behaviors.

3) Internet culture.

This is basically how we going to use the global network. Basically everything we want is all online. Just a click and the information will appear in the screen. As the times goes by,smart phones had been created which had become the another platform and also a new culture to access to the internet.

4) Transaction & Relationship. 

Also known as deep network which you can see who are connecting to who. How they connected? How they transact and what their common bond that are connecting to each other. 

5) Virtual Reality.  

I think this is mostly happen in the virtual space which people will use others identity or false information to communicate with the others. 

I guess now you get what I mean =)
 
6) New industries/ Knowledge economy/ New distribution of wealth.


Internet had historically create a new industries such as Google, the search engine. It had become a culture. "What to eat?" "Ask Google." That's it. More than that, the online games industry also had open a new way to attract the gamer to do involve in the virtual game.


As a conclusion, Internet certainly is the new leading culture that are leading the world now as everything is online. The network is like a links that are linking to everyone in the world even though they are all from different country, names, gender, culture. Internet seem like cross over the barrier of distance and people can reaching for the people for just one second. That's cool! :)

  1. Very funny Chiu Yen. Although you are certainly real, whatabout your online presence? It is made up of data!

    I see that you have a good general understanding of major points of the points covered in class. Here are some pointers to improve:

    1. Keep up the humour but try to include more
    critical reviews of the reading.

    2. Maybe point to a particular explanation/sentence from the reading?

    Keep it up, now move on to the next reading or weekly topic. And don't forget to say hi to your friend on my behalf.

  3. "This is all happen unintentionally, we are used to it and now we are live in the virtual space in the reality world. Is like our body is in the reality life but our mind is all in virtual space."

    I gotta say, I really love this statement of yours! It does reflect the society now doesn't it. Even if we're "listening" in classes, our mind would most probably be thinking "I need to update my FB status lahh!"

    A very true fact which I think many of us doesn't really realize about. Thank you for that!

    Also the way you convey your facts is nice! W/ the humourous approach, it does hook one to read the content and also look at the picture!

    And on your point for "New industries/ Knowledge economy/ New distribution of wealth."

    It is really true that online gaming companies have broaden the scope for a more profitable economy and a bigger industry for the gaming community. This is a good point that you highlighted from the lecture.

    It's not always about technology businesses only, online gaming industry also is a good example for this point! :D

    Thanks for the post! Nice one!
