Posted on September 9, 2012 | Leave a comment

We all may agree that technology is advancing and increasing in its daily public users. There has been changes in the way we look for information in the world wide web and sharing thoughts, pictures, applications, home made videos, news etc. From reading this chapter of pavlik I can prove what technology can help do, in where  not only do professional writers can publish, but also any individual who wishes to do so. Websites like youtube or facebook can be an example of public (non professional) use to publish anything they desire to share. http://youtu.be/q8K5UGSFW40 Magazines or newspapers publishers make sure that their print productions can also be found in the web for online users to keep reading and at the same time giving them the bonus exclusive content. Demonstrating that they are not going to be left behind by this advancing technology.

Posted on September 4, 2012 | Leave a comment

The media of public communications, such as news media which we know of, have often “interwined” as the author Pavlik described, with new technology startegies throughout time. While reading Media in the Digital Age I have learned about the early use of daguerreotype, which gave the newspaper media the quality of storytelling in including photo images. Next the use of technology to reach out the audience with daily news, through the radio and television. Pavlik stated that journalists and other media leaders should utilize technology more in order to keep news in particular existing. Agreeing to his writing keeping up with new and continuously technology, we can all keep informed by daily updates that we are surrounded by. There are a whole new technology resources such as blogging, internet, mobile devices, gps, tablets and so on. As the two videos assigned to watch, it supported the idea that technology has made our time easier for many things including the communication between others in search of information. Proving that technology could be used for positive outcomes.

Homework_1

Posted on August 28, 2012 | Leave a comment

While reading Badke’s book, I found it interesting to see the way he expresses his opinions and knowledge in the sources we use in our daily lives. That is finding any kind of information, by using the social web, books, electronic devices, and so on. Badke shared in the first chapter the beginning of information and how it was used, and passed from generation to generation. Not forgetting to mention “tradition” which for Badke is a way of seeing what knowledge is. For example going from verbally to print information to now being able to have information seen in electronic devices, like a kindle. Badke made it clear that not all information found or shared could be reliable, for instance the world of Internet where any individual can share freely. Going to chapter 8 is why Badke shares some tips on ways to make research comfortable for our future works, and to also know how to find correctly the  information we need.
