Lesson 1 of term 2 IS was about the introduction to new media. New media is about the internet and how is it being used in this internet era. Things like blog, entertainment websites or social networks or also new media. The internet has changed a lot since it's concept was founded in the 1960's. Technology used when using internet has changed over the years. It has vastly improved since. What used to fit in a building can now fit in a cellphone to ascess the internet. In approximately 25 years, it can be fit into a blood cell. Technology is changing the way we perceive the internet. The terminology of the internet was shared and look how much it has changed. The way we perceive it is also changing by the day.the internet used to be a application or tool where everyone can ascess and see. In recent years, websites like social networks, entertainment websites, educational websites are increasing by the number, thus changing the way people see the internet. Web 2.0 is upgraded from Web1.0, and it differs as in Web 1.0, only the site creator can manage the site while in Web 2.0 not only the creator is allowed to do so. I generally feel that new media is an interesting topic about our new found world of the internet era .Also,other points of the lesson were how to access to the internet, analysing an IP address,identifying the components of the web browser,the purpose of the web browser,searching for info on the web,different websites and how they use graphics,animation,audio,video,virtual reality and plug ins,web publishing,types of e-commerce,how email.FTP and chat rooms,etc work,and rules of netiquette. These points are relating to us how the internet is used and its many tools in different aspects and what they are used for. What I like most was about the chatroom and social websites.There are so many things such as those mentioned above that are related to the web, and I believe there will be more to come in future.I hope to learn more from new media this term 2.
I am Aceson Aw (1) from class 1A2. I am a thirteen year old from Hwa Chong Instituition. Ever since, joining Hwa Chong, IS ( infocom studies ) was made a compulsory subject for all students and thus added into the msg( mean subject grade). In term 1, IS was about programming, i wasn't very good at IT related stuffs. Yet, i still have to learn about programming! I don't know why but i just can't seem to get what programming is at times. Fortunately for me, I realise that programming was only in term 1, and that term 2 was something new. Now in term 2, I realise that we were into new media. That gave me hope, as I knew that it wasn't as bad as programming, although it wil come back tougher next year in sec 2. And after the first term 2 lesson I rest my mind in peace. A brief introduction about what new media is was given, and basically it was about the internet and daily social interaction related to infocom. I was definately motivated to do even better in term 2 and I am sure the future will be rewarding.
